RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Receive a presentation from the Probation Department on the Juvenile Justice Realignment of 2020 - SB 823 and SB 92
SUMMARY:
The Probation Department will give a presentation and summary of recent legislation, the Juvenile Justice Realignment of 2020 - SB 823 and SB 92.
DISCUSSION:
On June 15, 2021, the Probation Department submitted a report to the Board of Supervisors about legislation culminating in the Juvenile Justice Realignment of 2020, SB 823 and SB 92, and received a copy of Monterey County’s SB 823 Juvenile Justice Realignment Block Grant Annual Plan for FY 2021-22.
Today’s presentation reviews legislation which transfers responsibility for managing youthful offenders under State custody to local jurisdictions, effective July 1, 2021. It also describes major changes, funding streams, the mandated plan requirements, and the framework for the SB 823 Juvenile Justice Realignment Block Grant Annual Plan for the first year of operation, FY 2021-22.
A copy of the FY 21-22 Plan is on file with the Clerk of the Board.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
As legislatively mandated, the Subcommittee of the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council has developed and approved the FY 21-22 plan at its meeting of April 28, 2021. The Office of County Counsel-Risk Management has reviewed the report.
FINANCING:
Funding in the amount of $983,841 has been allocated to Monterey County for FY 21-22 to provide appropriate housing and supervision services to the realigned population. After receipt of State funding, the Probation Department has worked with the County Auditor-Controller within established county procedures on depositing the monies into an appropriate restricted account. There is no additional cost to the County General Fund with the recommended action.
