Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
El Dorado County Probation Department (Probation) has an established Juvenile Detention Facility at the South Lake Tahoe Juvenile Treatment Center (JTC) for the temporary or long-term commitment of youth detained in accordance with the provisions of the California Welfare and Institutions Code.
The Lassen County Probation Department (Lassen) desires to place Lassen youth at the JTC on an as-needed, space-available basis. Rates payable to Probation are $350 per day per bed, $400 per day per bed for Commitment Programming, and $475 per day per bed for youth placed in the Secure Youth Treatment Facility Program.
Probation and Lassen originally intended this Agreement to be effective upon full execution. On July 8, 2025, Lassen notified Probation of a Lassen youth needing placement at the JTC. Probation intends to make the effective date of this Agreement 9628 retroactive to July 8, 2025, so as not to disrupt any treatment plan in place for the affected youth.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could not approve the agreement. This agreement promotes goodwill and reciprocity of assistance between local counties.
