REASONS 7R RECOMMENDATION/BA,CRGR9 3D
All of the above projects were designed to meet mandated and other vital. County
Justice System goals. The District Attorney, Public Defender and Probation
Department (Home Supervision) projects all are State mandated programs related to
the prosecution, adjudication and supervision of delinquent juveniles . The Boys '
Ranch project funds approximately 25* of the Boys' Ranch. The East County Youth and
Family Services and the West Contra Costa Youth Service Bureau both provide diversion
projects to law enforcement and school districts which assist in decreasing the
referrals to Juvenile Hall and Juvenile Court.
Attachment 1 provides a brief summary of each project. All of the projects are
designed to provide an integrated approach to justice system processing of various
types of cases, particularly juvenile cases, or to provide the system with services
that ultimately would have to be provided at an increased County cost. Projects were
monitored to ensure that the outcome measures of numbers of cases handled and reduced
costs of County criminal justice system were met .
Four of these projects will require continuation of existing contracts with the
County. All of these projects are continuing projects. So that there will be no
break in services July 1, 1 am recommending that the Board of Supervisors, as it did
last year, authorize the County Administrator or his designee to execute on behalf
of the County those contracts for the above- listed projects . Each contract will
have a termination clause that permits the County to eliminate or adjust the contract
as dictated by the adopted FY 1998/99 County Budget and the status of State Program
Realignment funds.
