SUMMARY:
The Probation Department operates a Day Reporting Center (DRC) for adult offenders in Monterey County. The program was implemented in 2010-2012 with federal stimulus funding from the U.S. Department of Justice - Office of Justice Programs under the Recovery Act Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive grant. Probation is currently utilizing funding from Public Safety Realignment Act funds to continue services through FY 2014-15.
Amendment No. 1 allows for the Day Reporting Center to remain operational while the County reviews and awards the Request For Proposal applications.
DISCUSSION:
Probation has been a partner with Behavioral Interventions, Incorporated since 2010 to operate the Day Reporting Center, providing treatment and supervision services in a one-stop setting for moderate and high-risk adult offenders.
The DRC offers counseling, treatment, life skill classes and job training to eligible participants. The center is open seven days a week and provides assistance to a range of 65 to 80 clients per day. These services provide needed rehabilitative services, which historically have been underfunded.
The County is currently seeking proposals for the Day Reporting Center and until the selection process is complete and the awarded vendor is operational, Amendment No. 1 will allow for the services provided at the DRC to remain accessible.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Agreement has been approved by County Counsel as to legal form.
FINANCING:
Funds associated with this recommendation totaling $521,626 are provided by the State, AB 109 Public Safety Realignment Act of 2011. Funding for all AB 109 programs has been authorized in the current state budget, and is included in Probation's budget unit 8165 for FY 2014-2015. There is no additional cost to the County General Fund Contribution associated with this recommendation.
