Prepared By: Bart Topham, Captain
SUBJECT: RENEW MATCHING CITY FUNDS FOR JUVENILE
ACCOUNTABILITY INCENTIVE BLOCK GRANT
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Renew participation in the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant program and
appropriate $1,310 from the unreserved General Fund balance for our matching requirement.
DISCUSSION
In February 1999, the City Council approved participation and matching funds in a Juvenile
Accountability Block Grant program, in conjunction with County Probation, County Courts, the
District Attorney's Office, and the Paso Robles Police Department. The grant funds available to
the City of San Luis Obispo total $11,792.
The grant funds are for the purpose of operating a Juvenile Diversion Program. These funds
help to pay for a part-time program coordinator and the Family Care Network, who provide a
variety of related programs for juvenile diversion.
The base annual cost for County Probation to operate the City's Juvenile Diversion Program is
$5,750. In order for the City to continue to benefit from this program, we are required to provide
$1,310 in matching funds to the County.
To date, the Juvenile Diversion Program has exceeded all expectations. We have processed over
126 clients. This is three times our original estimate.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate General Fund balance is available to fund this appropriation and retain fund balance at
minimum policy levels.
ALTERNATIVES
Decline to continue participation in the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant program.
