CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The Board of Supervisors previously accepted the CCP annual plan which included the concept of, and funding for, the Parenting and Family Counseling Project through AB109 funding for fiscal year 2015-16. The Chief Probation Officer will be returning to the Board for approval of the AB109 CCP annual plan for fiscal year 2016-17.
The Parenting and Family Counseling project involves current or formerly justice system parents, children and families and provides them with parent education workshops, support groups, and family meetings to support successful community and family reintegration.
The Probation Department is requesting authorization to enter into an agreement with Youth Alliance to provide weekly workgroups for this population. Also, the Probation Department is requesting the budget augmentation for fiscal year 2015-16 ($25,690) and fiscal year 2016-17 ($50,000) in the total amount of $75,690. AB109 funds will be used to offset the contract costs so there will be no cost to the County.
BUDGETED:
No
