Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
The Probation Department's approved budget for 2009/10 contains funds for this agreement.
Background:
This agreement was approved by this Board on 6/02/2009, item #19; and it was returned to the Board on 08/11/2009, item #15, for clarification of the rate as stated in the original agenda item on 06/02/09.
The Fouts Springs Youth Facility has been operating continuously as a juvenile commitment option for counties since 1959. It is located in the Mendocino National Forest wilderness area in Colusa County. The program is operated under a joint powers agreement between Colusa and Solano Counties, with Solano County being the county which administers the program. The program offers enhanced education and vocational opportunities and a re-entry counseling component. Programming includes classes in Anger Management, Substance Abuse, Victim Awareness, and Young Men's Group which includes a gang awareness component.
Solano County has licensed counselors who have the experience and expertise in rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. The Juvenile Court Judges determine on an "as-needed" basis when and where court wards will be committed for long-term confinement and treatment. The Juvenile Court utilizes out-of-county facilities for said confinement and treatment.
Reason for Recommendation:
This agreement is brought back to the Board to request approval to authorized the Purchasing Agent to increase the blanket purchase order for Agreement #781-S0911, with the County of Solano, for Fouts Springs Ranch, on an "as needed" basis during the contract term as long as funding is available within the Probation Department's budget. As this agreement provides Juvenile Court ordered services it is impossible to anticipate the total use in any given fiscal year.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Purchasing Agent to increase the blanket purchase order for agreement #781-S0911, on an as-needed basis during the contract term as long as funding is available within the Probation Department's budget.
