RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Probation Officer, or designee, to execute a contract with the County of Sonoma, for the placement of wards at their Juvenile Hall in amount not to exceed $194,740 for the period February 19, 2018 through June 30, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% General Fund.
BACKGROUND:
There are times when there is a conflict of interest between a youth and our staff and it's in the best interest of all parties to house the youth in a neighboring County. For example, a Probation Juvenile Institution Officer may be a relative or close family friend of the youth.
The Probation Department is seeking to contract with Sonoma County to house our youths when these conflicts occur.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
We will have no place to house youths when a conflict of interest occurs.
