Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
This amount will be included in the department's proposed FY 2013-14 budget.
Background:
On October 21, 2001 Senate Bill 736 was signed into law. Among other provisions, the bill required the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) to review the Comprehensive Multi-agency Juvenile Justice Plan (CMJJP) annually. The JJCC reconvened on March 6, 2013 for the purpose of reaffirming its support for the CART Program for fiscal year 2013-14.
BSCC is operating under the assumption that funding for the JJCPA program will continue beyond July 1, 2013 and is currently included as part of the State's proposed FY 2013-2014 budget. BSCC estimates that the allocation amount received by each county for Fiscal Year 2013-14 will be similar to the allocation amount received for the FY 2012-13 program, subject to Legislative appropriation.
Reason for Recommendation:
The Probation Department has completed all the necessary steps to submit our annual re-application for funding of the CART Program for FY 2013-14. The program is a proven success and continuation of the program is a key element in efforts to reduce crime and delinquency by at-risk youth.
The Department is required by the Juvenile Court and law (Welfare and Institutions Code § 628.1, 654, 725, 727, 741, 777, 778, 790, 840, 841, 1300-1308) to provide services and probation supervision to juvenile offenders. Without the funds provided by the JJCPA, the department would still have to devote probation officers to provide the mandated supervision of juvenile offenders, but on a much less effective basis.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1. The Board shall receive and file the 2013-14 re-application.
2. Probation Department shall submit the annual JJCPA re-application to the BSCC by the May 1, 2013 deadline.
