TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: Retroactive Title II Grant Program Application
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Retroactively authorize the Chief Probation Officer's previous submittal of a grant application to the California Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) for the Title II Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Intervention Grant Program Funds ($890,562).

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no additional Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. If awarded, this grant will fund contracted reentry case management and supportive services for youth released from custody at the JJC and their families.
