RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriations and Revenue Adjustment No. 5060 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $188,872 in SLESF-Probation (0311) from the State of California and appropriating it for the provision of Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention services and authorizing new revenue in the amount of $160,000 in Probation Programs (0308) and appropriate it for the purchase of replacement vehicles for the department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action increases revenue by $188,872. 100% State; No match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) was created by the Crime Prevention Act of 2000 to provide a stable funding source for local juvenile justice programs aimed at curbing crime and delinquency among at-risk youth. State law requires that counties provide programs that have been demonstrated to be effective in reducing delinquency. Since the inception of the JJCPA, the programs it funds have consistently proven effective at helping youth rehabilitate. The data show that youth that do not participate in the programs are consistently 20 to 30 percent more likely to be arrested than youth in JJCPA-funded programs. As the State's Budget has improved, growth funds became available and were distributed to counties to enhance their JJCPA programs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The new revenue and associated expenditures will not be properly recognized in the department operating budget.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

This action supports four of the community outcomes established in the Children's Report Card, 1) "Children Ready for and Succeeding in School"; 2) "Children and Youth Healthy and Preparing for Productive Adulthood"; 3) "Families that are Safe, Stable and Nurturing"; and, 4) "Communities that are Safe and Provide a High Quality of Life for Children and Families".
