SUMMARY/ DISCUSSION:
Welfare and Institutions (W&I) Code 873, Section (d) determines that commissions received from pay telephones and vending machines located at juvenile detention facilities are to be used solely for the benefit of the youth in custody at these institutions. The monies are deposited in a restricted revenue account and expenditure of these funds requires Board approval.
The Probation Department is requesting the use of $19,475 from the Juvenile Ward Trust Fund, established pursuant to Welfare and Institutions (W&I) Code 873, Section (e) to provide recreational equipment, clothing and supplies for juveniles in the Monterey County Youth Center and Juvenile Hall.
As mandated by Title 15 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), juveniles housed in the Monterey County Youth Center and Juvenile Hall participate in various recreational activities as part of their rehabilitation; the recommended transfer will support these activities.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
County Counsel and the County Administrative Office have reviewed this report.
FINANCING:
The increased expenditures in the amount of $19,475 will be financed with restricted revenues that have been generated by commissions from pay telephones and vending machines located at the juvenile detention facilities. The recommended action will leave a balance of $11,710 in the Juvenile Ward Trust Fund. There is no cost to the County General Fund.
