SUMMARY:
The Judicial Council of California (Judicial Council) and the County of Monterey (County) previously entered into a License Agreement dated January 28, 2020, which granted exclusive use of the jury deliberation room and adjacent restroom consisting of approximately 320 square feet located at 250 Franciscan Way, King City (commonly known as the King City Courthouse Facility) to be used as a satellite Child Advocacy Center operated by the District Attorney’s Office in conjunction with Natividad Medical Center and Department of Social Services for forensic interviews of child sexual assault victims.
The Judicial Council and the County now desire to amend the License to add 699 square feet of court exclusive-use area and 349 square feet of common area space for the Family Justice Center led by the District Attorney’s Office.
The Family Justice Center will provide space for various victim service providers to co-locate and provide a more integrated network of services to victims of domestic violence, adult and child sexual assault, human trafficking and elder abuse who reside in South County.
Approval of this First Amendment to the License Agreement will continue to provide the Child Advocacy Center with a South County location to conduct child forensic interviews of child sexual assault victims, and related activities on an as needed basis, as well as provide the Family Justice Center - South County Office better access for victims of domestic violence, adult and child sexual assault, human trafficking and elder abuse to receive services from various service providers without the need to travel to the Salinas area or the Monterey Peninsula area.
This First Amendment to the License Agreement for the new expanded exclusive use space of 1,019 square feet will commence on January 3, 2023. The License Agreement can be cancelled by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice.

FINANCING:
