Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost
No fiscal impact or change to Net County Cost as funding from the YOBG was included in the Probation Department's proposed budget for fiscal year 2013-2014.
Background
In July 2009 Senate Bill (SB) X4 13 was enacted with significant amendments to the YOBG. This created the development of the annual application and reporting format to be employed by the BSCC and counties in meeting the more rigorous requirements. Under the law, each county must annually submit to BSCC by May 1st, its JJDP outlining how the county proposes to spend its YOBG allocation in the subsequent fiscal year.
Reason for Recommendation
The YOBG funding allows Probation to provide appropriate rehabilitative and supervision services to youthful offenders.
YOBG funding supports the South Lake Tahoe Juvenile Treatment Center programs and services, and juvenile court ordered placements at Madera County Juvenile Detention Facility. The South Lake Tahoe Juvenile Treatment Center's service and staffing levels can be maintained at current levels by YOBG funding for salaries and benefits. Madera County Juvenile Detention Facility is a ranch program that is a viable alternative to the State of California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Division of Juvenile Justice for those minors that have exhausted all local resources.
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
No action required of the Board as this is advisory only.
Probation will submit to BSCC by May 1, 2013 the JJDP.
