title
A MOTION approving the report Recommendations for JJOMP Proviso Funds dated May 20, 2002.
 
body      WHEREAS, the 2002 adopted budget ordinance includes a proviso requesting that the juvenile justice operational master plan oversight committee submit a plan for the use of four hundred fifty thousand dollars earmarked for new county investments in services to reduce youth involvement in the juvenile justice system, and
      WHEREAS, this oversight committee considered strategies laid out in the Phase II Juvenile Justice Operational Master Plan approved by the council in August 2000 and developed a priority list of options as described in the report Recommendations for JJOMP Proviso Funds, and
      WHEREAS, the financial condition of King County's current expense fund has worsened since the adoption of the 2002 budget, necessitating substantial reductions in crucial public services over the next several years, and
      WHEREAS, the executive has indicated he believes, until financial conditions improve, the prudent course is to emphasize efforts requiring only one-time funds toward reducing the use of detention and not to incur ongoing program obligations that may further jeopardize existing operations, and
      WHEREAS, the executive added an Addendum A to the report recommending limiting funding to a one-time amount of two hundred thousand dollars, and
      WHEREAS, the council has reviewed the recommendation of the JJOMP Oversight Committee and the executive and believes it is prudent to invest in some on-going services designed to reduce both short and long term costs and crime by reducing recidivism, and
      WHEREAS, in light of the council's review, the executive has revised Addendum A to include additional funding to encourage contracted providers to convert existing programs to research-based models that have proven particularly effective in reducing recidivism;
      NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT MOVED by the Council of King County:
      The report Recommendations for JJOMP Proviso Funds, Attachment A to this motion, incorporating the funding recommendations of the JJOMP Oversight Committee with Revised Addendum A Recommendations for JJOMP Proviso Funds, is hereby
 
approved and the proviso funding released to implement the approved recommendations.
