K The legislation requires that this plan be developed by the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council. Contra Costa County's allocation for this purpose is $2,770,491. The Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act requires that the local Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council be chaired by the County Probation Officer and that the Comprehensive Multi-agency Juvenile Justice Plan developed by this body be approved by the Board of Supervisors. Funding from the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) will allow Contra Costa County to maintain funding for significant children's services. Funding through JJCPA for fiscal year 2005/2006 will allow for the continuation of many of the programs established during the initial year of the grant. The following summarizes the programs proposed for continued funding under JJCPA as well as those programs/services reduced due to revenue shortfall: I. Deputy Probation Officers in High Schools Program Initially funded through Challenge Grant I, the Deputy Probation Officers in High Schools Program has been continued the past three years with funding from JJCPA. The high school program places probation officers in selected high schools and special necessary schools to provide supervision and intervention services for juvenile offenders and other at-risk youth. The program stresses collaboration among schools, police agencies and Probation to provide supervision and treatment services for youth. It is proposed that the high school remain fully funded for FY 05/06; II. Deputy Probation Officers in Middle Schools Program The Deputy Probation Officers in Middle Schools Program has been based on the high school model to provide intensive supervision for offenders and an array of early intervention and preventative services for at-risk youth. This program was initiated during the first year of JJCPA funding. For FY 04/05 it was continued at a reduced level. It is proposed that the middle school program remained funded at the 04/05 level for FY 05/06; III. Community Probation Program Continued JJCPA funding will allow the eight probation officers currently out-stationed in various police agencies throughout the County to continue their focus on high risk youth, at-risk youth and chronic offenders. The deputy probation officers implementing this program work non-traditional hours and collaborate closely with police agencies, schools and community-based organizations to help prevent offending behavior and provide appropriate accountability; IV. Orin Allen Youth Rehabilitation Facility (OAYRF) Aftercare It is proposed that the aftercare program at the OAYRF be continued at a reduced level by eliminating One Deputy Probation Officer position. Four PO's will continue to provide close supervision and support to minors for 90 days after their graduation from the ranch program; V. Summit Center Program The Summit Center program represents a collaborative effort between the Probation Department, Children's Mental Health Services, and the County Office of Education to provide residential treatment services for youth in the juvenile justice system in need of mental health and counseling services. $300,000 of the initial funding for partial staffing of this program came from the SafeFutures grant. This funding was assumed by the JJCPA budget when the SafeFutures grant expired. In order to meet our budget limitation, it is proposed that this funding augmentation be eliminated; VI. Fee for Service Funding Funding for treatment services will be maintained at 04/05 level of$100,000 for FY 05/06; some of these funds will be used to provide substance abuse counseling for youth at OAYRF.
