Body

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

The Madera County Correctional Academy began operation in 1997. The Academy utilizes a combination of structure, discipline, physical conditioning, and accountability in a nurturing approach in order to emphasize self-control and improve self-esteem.

 

The Probation Department has chosen the Madera County Correctional Academy as a program available to the Juvenile Court and has contracted with them since December 6, 2011.  

 

The Juvenile Court determines on an “as needed” basis when and where youth will be committed for long-term confinement and treatment. 

 

The County of Madera requires their Board of Supervisors to sign last on this Agreement.  El Dorado County Probation respectfully requests the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors to allow the Chair to sign this Agreement prior to Madera County.

CAO RECOMMENDATION

Approve as recommended.

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The cost of placements is paid for from the Youthful Offender Block Grant. Placements are ordered by the court based on individual cases, making it difficult to estimate costs in a given year.

 

CLERK OF THE BOARD FOLLOW UP ACTIONS

1) Chair to sign three originals of agreement 6464.

2) Upon signature of Chair, we respectfully request the Clerk of the Board to forward two originals to Probation so we may immediately forward agreements to Madera County for their Board of Supervisor’s approval.

3) Probation will return one fully executed agreement to the Clerk of the Board.
