a. Approve and authorize the Contracts/ Purchasing Officer to sign a Facility User Agreement in the amount of $85,000 with Rancho Cielo, Incorporated for utilization of facilities housing prevention and intervention programs for at-risk and adjudicated youth for the period retroactive to July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017; and

SUMMARY:
The proposed Facility User Agreement defines the collaborative responsibilities between the parties for the delivery of services to at-risk and adjudicated youth at the Rancho Cielo campus.
DISCUSSION:
The County of Monterey has been a long-term partner with Rancho Cielo for the provision of services to at-risk and adjudicated youth countywide. Through the years, Rancho Cielo has invested in its campus, enhancing and expanding the original facilities, and providing a safe, modern and welcoming environment to program participants.
The Facility User Agreement identifies operative, legal and insurance provisions for all Probation activities at the ranch site. The agreement allocates State funding from the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA), in the amount of $85,000 annually, to house Probation’s Silver Star Youth Program (SSYP), which provides supervision and case management, as well as treatment and support services, to court-involved youth in Monterey County. Rancho Cielo remains responsible for the operation and ongoing maintenance of the facilities on campus.
The Facility User Agreement is on file with the Clerk to the Board.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
The Facility User Agreement has been approved by County Counsel as to legal form and by the Auditor-Controller as to fiscal terms.
FINANCING:
Funding for continuation of services in the amount of $85,000 is provided by the State’s Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA), and is already contained in Probation’s Budget for FY 2016-17. There is no additional cost associated with the recommended action.
