Background:
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.
Reason for Recommendation:
Fouts Springs Youth Facility has licensed counselors who have experience and expertise in rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. The Juvenile Court determines on an "as needed" basis when and where court wards will be committed for long-term confinement and treatment.
Board authorizes the Purchasing Agent to increase the blanket purchase order on an as-needed basis during the contract term as long as funding is available within the Probation Department's budget.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) Chair to sign three originals of agreement #028-S1111.
2) Clerk of the Board to return all original agreements to Probation.
3) Probation will submit agreements to County of Solano for signature.
4) Probation will return one fully executed agreement to the Clerk of the Board.
