8. Meeting Probation’s Emergency with a New Approach to Budgeting
Recommendation as submitted by Supervisor Horvath: Direct the Chief
Executive Officer, in collaboration with the Chief Probation Officer, to report
back to the Board in 120 days with a detailed analysis of Probation’s budget
and a proposed strategy for realigning Probation’s budget to better reflect
current operations and resources, and the implementation of the Board’s stated
priorities, given population, organizational, and cost changes in recent years
(“Budget Realignment Strategy”). The Budget Realignment Strategy should be
consistent with the Board’s Youth Justice Reimagined, Care First, Jails Last,
and girls and gender expansive youth decarceration visions, and should:
Reflect a coherent strategy for realigning Probation’s budget to better
reflect current operations and resources, given organizational and cost
changes in recent years;
Reference the alternative budget method, or approach the Chief
Executive Officer believes should be used consistently as a guide or
benchmark in the development of Probation’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2027-28
budget, to realign budget appropriation and funding to reflect Board
priorities - including, but not limited to, classification consolidations,
compliance with oversight entities and settlement agreements, structural
budget gaps, supporting the transition of relevant services to the
Department of Youth Development, and potential transition of other
services to County partners, and describe how the Chief Executive
Office will incorporate this strategy into the development of the 2027 - 28
budget.
The realignment of funding resources should also address efforts
focused on reducing the incarceration of girls and gender expansive
youth, maximizing opportunities for supportive services within and outside
of custody, and transferring programming and other critical resources
outside of the Probation Department where appropriate.
The Budget Realignment Strategy and identified areas for realignment
should be actionable and capable of being phased in beginning with the
FY 2027-28 Recommended Budget.
Direct the Chief Executive Officer as lead, and the Chief Probation Officer, to
report back to the Board in 90 days with a framework for enhanced grant fund
management and monitoring that will improve the transparency, monitoring, and
decision-making processes related to grant funded programs managed by
Probation, including, but not limited to, the Juvenile Justice Coordinating
Committee and Juvenile Justice Realignment Block Grants, as well as those
related to services for Commercially Sexually Exploited Children (CSEC) youth
such as SB 794 and SB 855 funds. The framework should consider the
following:
Development and implementation of a standardized reporting tool that
provides timely updates on the status of budget programs including
funding eligibility, comprehensive program descriptions, providers,
funding allocations, expenditures, and remaining balances;
Use of innovative tools, technologies, and consultant services that support
the implementation of enhanced data collection and reporting capabilities
inclusive of performance metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of fund
utilization and the impact of funded programs; and
Develop and deliver training to committees or advisory bodies supported
by Probation, including review of standardized funding reports; quarterly
meetings to discuss any necessary adjustments; and a mechanism for
committee members to provide feedback to facilitate continuous
improvement.
Direct the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Probation Officer, in collaboration
with the Executive Director of the Probation Oversight Commission and
Countywide Communications, to develop a plan to engage with the public and
represented employees to discuss recommended goals, targets and priorities
for a proposed Budget Realignment Strategy for the Probation Department’s
Recommended Budget for FY 2027-28. (26-3775)
