Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
No direct impact on the Net County Cost.
Reason for Recommendation:
On April 10, 2007 the Board approved the submittal of an application and plan to the Correction Standards Authority (CSA) for continued funding of CART from the JJCPA, (item #14, 07-431, Resolution #081-2007). Subsequently, CSA received our application package and gave final approval for funding on May 10, 2007.
The statute governing the JJCPA, is Government Code Section 30061 (4)(E)(i), which requires the following: "Each County or City and County shall report, annually each October 15, to the County Board of Supervisors and the CSA, in a format specified by CSA, on the programs funded pursuant to this chapter and program outcomes on specified in subparagraph (C)."
The Probation Department submitted the required annual report to CSA September 25, 2008. In accordance with the above requirement, the Department submits this annual progress report to the Board Clerk's Office prior to the October 15, 2008 deadline.
Program effectiveness is measured by eight standards: arrest rate, completion of probation, incarceration rate, rate of completion of restitution, rate of completion of court-ordered community service, probation violation rate, grade point average, and unexcused class rate. For the year ending in June 30, 2008, outcome is detailed in the attached report which was submitted to CSA on September 15, 2008.
The report submitted reflects $563,241.00 of State funds that were expended in fiscal year 2007-2008 on specified program costs. The Probation Department was successful in spending its entire JJCPA State allocation (including interest).
