DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
El Dorado County Probation Department 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 County of Yolo Probation Department desires to place youth under their supervision in the JTC Secure Youth Treatment Facility (SYTF) Program, to the extent that accommodations exist, at the rate of $475.00 per day per bed. The agreement is effective upon execution for three years and has an amount not to exceed $400,000.
The SYTF serves individuals who have been adjudicated to have commissioned an offense listed in Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) §707(b) and would have resulted in a commitment to the Division of Juvenile Justice prior to its closure as described in WIC §875. The Program will have varied commitment lengths with maintaining available services until the person attains 23 years of age unless the person at the time of adjudication would, in criminal court, have faced an aggregate sentence of seven years or more. Individuals who would have faced an aggregate sentence of seven years or more may remain in the Program until the person attains 25 years of age.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could not approve the agreement. This agreement promotes goodwill and reciprocity of assistance between local counties.
