DATE: August 18, 2020
TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Kirk Haynes, Chief Probation Officer
SUBJECT: Retroactive Agreement with Kings Canyon Unified School District
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve and authorize Chairman to execute a retroactive revenue Agreement with the Kings Canyon School District to provide partial funding for services provided by two Deputy Probation Officers assigned to Kings Canyon Unified School District campuses, effective July 1, 2020, not to exceed five consecutive years, which includes a one-year base contract and four optional one-year extensions, total not to exceed $375,000.
REPORT
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with the recommended action. Kings Canyon Unified School District (KCUSD) and the Probation Department desire to continue a partnership to provide services. KCUSD will provide a total of $75,000 annually ($37,500 per Officer) toward the two Deputy Probation Officer positions. The remainder of the direct costs for this position will be funded with Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) funds. The Fresno County Probation Department and KCUSD recognize the benefit of collaborating to provide services, and having Deputy Probation Officers participate on the Police/Sheriff/Probation Team located on campus. Due to the collaborative nature of the recommended agreement, the Department recommends your Board deviate from the County policy requiring full cost recovery (including indirect costs). This practice is consistently applied to similar Agreements with other school districts. This item affects District Four.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
There is no viable alternative action. If the Board does not approve the recommended action, the Probation Department will not have sufficient funding to provide on-campus services to KCUSD.
RETROACTIVE AGREEMENT:
The County and KCUSD had an agreement for FY 2019-20 that was approved by your Board on November 10, 2019, and expired on June 30, 2020....
