Title

Body
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the Chief Probation Officer to sign and submit to the State Corrections Standards Authority (CSA) the Monterey County Application for Continuation funding and/or Substantive Modification to the Comprehensive Multi-agency Juvenile Justice Plan, and related contracts, amendments or extensions. Such plan illustrates programs funded by the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act, and identifies changes proposed for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012-13.
SUMMARY/ DISCUSSION:
The Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA), also known as AB1913, appropriates substantial funds for local law enforcement programs to combat juvenile delinquency. In FY 12-13, a total of $107 million has been allocated for juvenile justice initiatives administered by CSA throughout the State; funds are distributed to counties on a pro-rata basis. Assuming that actual revenues will match the estimated amount for FY 12-13, Monterey County is projected for a total budget of $1,193,357, to be expended by or prior to June 30, 2013.
The Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) of Monterey County, chaired by the Chief Probation Officer, is a multi-agency council established to combat juvenile delinquency at the local government level. The JJCC is responsible for the local oversight and administration of the JJCPA funds, and is responsible to CSA for the administration and implementation of the program. The Council has reviewed and approved the program plan prior to presentation to the Board of Supervisors, and is responsible for submission of the plan to the Corrections Standards Authority by the state deadline of May 1, 2012.
