Program:
16. Project Scum. ary I
The primary objectives of the greater Huntington Beach Area Community Resource Center project.
proposal will be: .(I) to reduce the-actual number of juveniles arrested within the five
cities comprising the catchment area: by 10% during FY 1974 as compared to FY 1973; _ (2) to
reduce the rate of recidivism to the juvenile justice system of those teenagers (primary age
group--713 to 19 years) .with known arrest and- probation records by 10% during FY 1974 as compared
to FY 1973.
Although the Project has been designed to serve the youth within the 52 square mile area which
comprises the Huntington Beach Union High School District, all youth referred by local youth
service related agencies within the catchment area will be provided with the services of the
Center. Thus, it is anticipated that the services to be provided by the proposed program will
result in:
1. A reduction of juvenile arrests within the five city area served by project;
. 2. *The improvement of personal counseling and guidance for the target offender$ ,
as'well as family counseling services to be provided during both day and
evening hours,
Re44ised 6/8/73
Project Summary (Continued)
3. The integration and coorination of the entire spectrum of
traditionally autonomous public and private agencies
ranging from community youth service related centers/organiza-
tions (e.g. , youth employment centers and drug abuse clinics)
to those agencies which comprise the various components of the
juvenile justice system (e.g. , four local police departments,
Orange County Probation Department, and Juvenile halls)
(See Flow Chart, P. 12)
The above noted objectives will be achieved via the implementation of the
Community Resource Center which will operate under the direction of a pro-
fessionally trained psychologist who will be specifically responsible for
coordinating and interfacing the services capable of.meeting the identified
needs of the target population. This psychologist, who will serve as Project
Coordinator, will be charged with developing and maintaining an effective
liaison between the Center and the local secondaryschools, police departments,
probation departments and juvenile hall. Furthermore, the Project Coordinator
will be responsible for developing and updating a comprehensive diagnostic
profile denoting the varied problems of each target juvenile (e.g., drug
involvement, burglary conviction, low reading ability, alcoholic problems in
the home) and for bringing to bear on those problems identified as signifi-
cantly contributing to the delinquent status of the target youth, the re-
sources of all locally available agencies capable of mitigating or eliminating
those problems.
The Project Coordinator will be assisted by a variety of police and probation
department personnel (e.g. , visiting probation officers; a 'full-time police
officer, paid jointly by the school district and the police department, is
already a member of the selected school's teaching staff) as well as school
counselors, youth employment service representatives, tutors and selected
teachers.
Appropriate evaluation is planned for each phase of the project's operation.

16. Personal Services
A. Salaries
1. The Project Coordinator will be credentialed by the State of California and will
meet the requirements for counselors as established by the Huntington Beach Union
High School District Office of Certificated Personnel. In addition, a psycholo-
gist's credential will be a prerequisite. The established monthly salary range
for counselors, as adopted by the Board of Trustees for FY 1973, is $1,494 to
$1,750 in four annual steps. The Project Coordinator would be hired on the first
of the four annual steps. A 5.5% projected increase for FY 1974 would change the
monthly salary range to $1,576 to $1,846 in four annual steps. Hence, the actual
salary for the Project Coordinator is projected. to be $1,576 per month for eleven
months. (Contracted salary: $1,576.17 X 11 = $17,338)
The Project Coordinator .will direct and coordinate the activities of the four
Guidance and Behavioral Change Specialists, administer the Community Resource
Center,` conduct large and small group counseling sessions, diagnose and place
enrollees, and coordinate referrals to and from local cooperating youth service
agencies. The District Personnel Office will provide screening, interviews, and
selection of candidates at District expense.
2. The counselor Dean position is currently being created by the Huntington Beach
Union High School District to serve the Evening School program to be implemented
in February, 1973. The FY 1973 salary range for this position is $1,835 per
month. A 4% projected increase for FY 1974 would increase the monthly salary
from $1,835 to $1,908 for ten months. (Contracted salary: $1,908 X 10 =$19,080)
One-fifth of this Counselor Dean's time ($19,080 t. 5 = $3,816) will be expended
with the project's clients and will serve as an in-kind contribution by the District.
3. The Counselor selected to be associated with the Community Resource Center project,
if funded, is currently under contract for $15,790 for a ten month year, or
$1,579 per month. A 4% projected increase for FY 1974 will increase this parti-
cular counselor's monthly salary from $1,579 to $1,642 for each of ten months.
(Contracted salary: $1,642 X 10 = $16,420) . One-fifth of this counselor's time
($16,420 -:- 5 = $3,284) will be expended with the project's clients and will serve
as an in-kind contribution by the District.
4. The selected Teacher to be associated with the project, if funded, is currently
under contract to the District as a Reading Specialist and receives $13,650 for
a ten-month year, or $1,365 per month. A 4% projected increase for FY 1974
would change this particular Reading Specialist's monthly salary from $1,365 to
$1,420 for each of ten months. (Contracted salary: $1,420 X 10 = $14,200) .
One-fifth of this Reading Specialist's time ($14,200 i 5 = $2,840) will be ex-
pended with the project's clients and will serve as an in-kind contribution by
the District.

established monthly salary range for Senior Clerk-Typist is $558 to $691 on a five
annual increment schedule. The Senior Clerk-Typist who will be employed for the
project will automoatically be rated at Step which is currently $558 per month.

(Salary: $580 X 11 X 3/5 = $3,828)
6. A Work Experience Liaison will be charged with establishing liaison with local
businessmen and assisting in referring students for part-time jobs. He will
also provide screening of student applicants to enhance their chances of employ-
ment and Center's usefulness to the community.' It is anticipated that a counselor-
trainee interested in work experience and/or career guidance would be hired to
function in this position on a part-time basis. He will be in the upper division
or graduate level of training in one of the local institutes or a person who has
completed a pupil personnel credential and is interested in this part-time work
in addition to some regular job as a transition experience.
The salary will be on an hourly basis in line with present District policy con-
cerning similar part-time workers in training. At $3.50 per hour for ten
hours per week for eleven months (one month = 21.625 days) , the monthly salary
will be 21.625 days X 2 hours per day or .43.25 X $3.50 per hr. _ $151.38 per month.
(Annual salary: $151.38 X 11 = $1,665)
7. ` The Guidance and Behavioral Change Specialists will be persons in upper division
! or graduate level classes in the area of counseling and/or psychology in local
colleges or universities. They will be recommended by their college professors
as being appropriately trained and constitutionally congruent with the intent of
the project. The Project Coordinator will supervise them in their activities at
the Center, which will include individual and small-group contacts, vocational
exploration and testing, behavior modeling in a big-brother/big-sister context,
tutorial services, 'and referral services.
Their salaries will also be on an hourly basis in line with present District policy.
It is anticipated that an efficient method of utilizing their services will be -to
hire a few at a time as referrals are made. Thus, it is anticipated that two in-
terns would work with the project for a total of 38 weeks, beginning 30 days after
the outset of the project; two more would begin approximately two weeks later and
work for a period pf 36 weeks. Assuming each would work 15 hours per week at
;$3.00 per hour, total salaries would be $6,660, which would be funded through
,the grant.
8. The current Director of Specially Funded Programs, Dr. Richard Altimari, will
provide the administrative guidance for this project. His annual salary is
$23,256, or $1,938 per month. A 4% projected increase for FY 1974 would increase
the monthly salary to $2,016. (Contracted salary: $2,016 X 12 = $24,192)
5% or 1/20 of the Director's time ($24,192 t 20 = $1,210) will be expended in the
administration of the project and will serve as an in-kind contribution.
Revised 6/8/73 9
16. Personel Services (Continued)
9. One full-time police officer will be assigned by the Huntington Beach Police
Department and high scool district for the expressed purpose of teaching
and counseling the Center's clients. The current annual salary of the officer
to be assigned is $13,164. The scheduled 5% salary increase for FY 1974 will
increase same to-$13,822. The salary cost will be shared equally (50:50) be-
tween the school district and police department.
B. Employee Benefits
Employee benefits for all District personnel ar $56 per month or $674 per year
for FY 1973. A 5% projected increase will change the annual benefits cost to
$706 per employee during FY 1974. Monies for the cost of benefits for the two
full-time employees to be hired for the project will serve as an in-kind con-
tribution. (See 16.A.1 and 16.A.5 under Personal Services) The cost of the
benefits would be $706 each per year times 2 or $1,412. The cost of benefits
for the full-time police officer will likewise serve as an in-kind contribution
and total $3,831 per year.
17. Travel
1. 495 miles per Behavioral Change Specialist per eleven months, or 45 miles per
Specialist per month @ lOG per mile for home visitations, travel to accompany
students to pertinent education events, etc. (495 mi/Behavioral Change
Specialist X 4 Specialists = 1,980 mi/project year @ 10t/mi = $198)
2. 3,300 per eleven months or 300 miles per month for the Work Experience Liaison
at 10t a mile for the purpose of developing a list of job openings, contacting ,
employers and investigating job situations, etc. (3,300 mi @ 10t/mi $330)
18. Consultant Services
1. A research consultant will be hired to help plan and implement an appropriate
evaluation design. The consultant will aid in preparing details of the evalua-
tion format, will consult in implmentation of the evaluation strategy, will
monitor the projectes operation, and will provide a written analysis of the
evaluation data for inclusion in the report to the California Council on
Criminal Justice. The evaluator will also be responsible for processing of
data accumulated in the project.
Bids will be solicited from interested evaluation teams in the area who meet the
following criteria:
1) the evaluation firm is established as expert in this area through a
history of such operation over a period of years.
2) personnel to be involved with the project will be trained in the area
of research and design in education and psychology, preferably at the
Ph.D. level.
3) a performance contract is preferred which provides for the functions
listed above within the limits of the anticipated budget.
4) if possible, at least one member of the team should have some experience
in the operation of other CCCJ projects.
Revised 6/8/73 10
18. Consultant Services (Continued)
It is anticipated that the evaluation may be contracted,for approximately
$500 which will be funded through the grant.
19. Supplies and Operating Expenses
Operational supplies and expenses are chiefly clerical supplies except for the
trailer rental. The trailer will house the Center and will be located on
Huntington Beach Union High School District property available on the present
Wintersburg High School campus.
These expenses are estimated at $3,618 which -will be funded partly through
the grant. The land use will be a District donation as will the trailer
installation fee, utilities and custodial maintenance.
20. Equipment
Equipment necessaryfor operation of the Center (including typewriters, files,
desks, chairs, etc.) will be a donation of the school District. It is
estimated that this equipment will cost approximately $2,282. Based on the
standard 6 2/3% depreciation allowance, the value of the in-kind contribution
is calculated to be $152.

PROJECT TITLE: GREATER HUNTINGTON BEACH AREA RESOURCE CENTER
PROBLEM BACKGROUND
During the past six years, the rate of juvenile delinquency in California has
far outstripped the rate of increase among the youth population. Data indicates
juvenile arrests were up by 25% while initial referrals were up 61%. In Orange
County over the past six years, the rate of initial juvenile referrals to probation
departments for delinquent acts increased a staggering 73.4%. Almost one-third
of the new referrals to Orange County Probation Departments in 1971 were for de-
linquent tendencies (truancy, failure to adjust, runaway, incorrigible and sexual
delinquency) .* Locally, the Huntington Beach, Fountain Vally and Westminster Police
Departments report a combined total of 6,036 juvenile arrests for 1972, a figure
that represents almost 50% of the total of both adult and juvenile arrests combined
for that year. The Huntington Beach Union High School District presently serves
approximately 18,000 adolescents between the ages of 13 and 19 from the surrounding
Orange County communities of Huntington Beach, Fountain Valley, Westminster and Seal
Beach. In 1971, one-third of the total drug arrests for the whole of Orange County were
generated by these four communities above. Data collected during the present 72-73
school year revealed that there were 1,733 cases of juvenile delinquency reported by
the six high schools comprising the Huntington Beach Union High School District or
9.6% of the high school population.
A number of resources have evolved in the community to provide services for this
population of young people--ages approximately 16 to 25--who have somehow failed to
make the developmental adjustment to adulthood. Several counseling centers presently
exist both within and outside the school system. The Teen Help Center in the city
of Fountain Valley provides family and adolescent counseling to a number of families
-in that area. The Huntington Beach Help Clinic provides free medical care and some
legal and personal counseling in the Huntington Beach area. The Orange County Mental
Health Association is hoping to 'offer more intensive psychological services through
expansion of their services into a branch office in the area in the near future. The
Alternate Routes project, an offshoot of the Model Cities program, currently provides
one-to-one counseling for pre-delinquent students in the Fountain Valley area, although
they may not serviceother areas at this time because of the reserach orientation of
their project. In addition, such agencies as Family Services, Child Guidance Associa-
tion, Catholic Welfare Services, and numerous area churches provide counseling ser-
vices of varying sophistication and with differing impetus and intent.
Other agencies which provide services are Orange County Probation, Orange County Public
Health, Westminster Youth Services, Huntington Beach Community Services Counsel,
Teen Challenge, and Cliildren's Protective Services. A Youth Employment Service has
been active during the past year in trying to find part-time jobs for young people.
It occurs to people involved in working with young people that the sources for pro-
viding help in making life adjustments exist. The grave problem which remains to be
solved is the coordination of these disparate services and agencies into a system
of delivery that will be available to those young people in need of comprehensive
services. This is one of the problems which this proposal seeks to solve.
* Juvenile Probation and Detention, Crime and Delinquency in California 1971,
Reference Tables, State of California, Department of Justice, Division of Law
Enforcement Bureau of Criminal Statistics. (p. l; table IV, p. 18; Table 11, p.31).
Revised 6/8/73 13
Why then does the rate of juvenile delinquency continue to grow when the community
and justice system have made such extended efforts to cope with the problems of
young people? The advocates of this proposal feel very strongly that the major
reason is the lack of meaningful coordination of these disparate services and
agencies into a delivery system that will be comprehensive enough to meet the multi-
faceted needs of the juvenile offenders.
A physician would not treat a patient without a proper diagnosis to isolate specific
causes for an illness. Yet a juvenile offender tends to be treated by the community
and the juvenile justice system in a "shot gun" manner--first one type of inter-
vention and then another, hoping eventually to hit the right combination. No
systematic assessment of the young person's socio-economic, intellectual or psy-
chological factors has been provided in a meaningful program of accurate and specific
remediation. -
It is proposed that a Community Resource Center be provided, utilizing space and
administrative structure offered by the Huntington Beach Union High School District,
which will serve an an interface facility to coordinate referrals to existing agen-
cies and to cover the difficult areas of learning problems and career exploration,
behavioral modeling, and tutorial assistance in a clinical atmosphere for initial
pre-conviction or post-conviction high school students and other high"risk" juvenile
offenders requiring these services. It is anticipated that the provision of this
interface agency would result in reduced juvenile arrests,; a reduced rate of reci-
divism to the Juvenile Justice System, and a complimentary increase in the number
of young people returning to traditional roles in society (i.e. , pursuit of educa-
tional and/or career goals).
" The 52-square mile high school district serves the cities of Huntington Beach,
Seal Beach, Westminster, Fountain Valley, Midway City, and several unincorporated
! areas in Orange County.
Revised 5/15/73 14
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
The primary objectives of the . Greater Huntington Beach Area Community Resource
Center project proposal will be: (1) to reduce the actual number of juveniles
arrested within the five cities comprising the catchment area by 10% during
fiscal year 1974 as compared to fiscal year 1973; (2) to reduce the rate of
recidivision to the juvenile justice system of those teenagers (primary age
group--13 to 19 years) with known arrest and probation records by 10% during
fiscal year 1974 as compared to fiscal year 1973.
Although the project has been designed to serve the youth within the 52 square
mile area which comprises the Huntington Beach Union High School District, all
youth referred by local youth service related agencies within the catchment area
will be provided with the services of the Center. Thus it is anticipated that
the services to be provided by the proposed program will result in:
1. A reduction of juvenile arrests within the five city areas served
by the project;
2. The improvement of personal counseling and guidance for the target
offenders as well as family counseling services to be provided
during both day and evening hours;
3. The integration and coordination of the entire spectrum of tradi-
tionally autonomous public and private agencies ranging from
community youth service related centers/organizations (e.g. ,
youth employment cneters and drug abuse clinics) to those agencies
which comprise. the various components of the juvenile justice system
(e.g. , four local police departments, Orange County Probation
Department, and Juvenile Halls) (See Flow Chart, p. 12)
APPROACH FOR ACHIEVING THE OBJECTIVES
Following discussions with local police and probation officers, juvenile hall
personnel as well as the Huntington Beach Union High School District's psycholo-
gists, counselors, psychometrists, and administrators and other community agents
regarding the above stated problems, it was unanimously decided to propose the
establishment of a Community Resource Center to which "risk" students and young
adults may be referred for diagnostic assessment and individualized program
design at the Center, and referral to other community agencies as appropriate.
A "risk" student or young adult is one who has demonstrated some risk factors
indicating a high potential for future criminal involvement or who has already '
become criminally involved and has been or is about to be remanded to the juvenile
justice system.
The rationale for selecting the school district site and administrative structure
for implementation is that the functions critical to this project are familiar
to District personnel and that the potential clients of the Center are required
by law to attend school up to the age of 18. Establishing the Resource Center
at the community level is based on the premises that: 1) Crime and delinquency
are products of the community and therefore resolution of the problems must be
in the community; 2) local treatment has the advantage, since the offender remains
close to his family and social ties which bind him to the community; 3) local
treatment is less expensive for the taxpayer, since it permits the offender to
maintain financial self-sufficiency either for himself or through his family.
Revised 6/8/73 15
6
Clients will be identified and recommended to the Center by:
1 Juvenile Court System
2. Orange County Probation Department and its various
subsystems (e.g. , the Special Supervision Division,
various juvenile institutions, etc.)
3. Local police departments (Westminster, Fountain Valley,
Huntington Beach, Seal Beach)
4. Counselors and/or psychologists at the five comprehensive
and continuation high schools as well as extended day and
evening school within the Huntington Beach Union High School
District
5. Other community youth-service agencies
6. Parents
Clients are anticipated to be "risk" individual as identified above to include
not only those about to be remanded to the juvenile justice system but also
those who are coming out of its various subsystems and are in need of a
"transitional" program to facilitate their return to community life.
Some form of follow-up rehabilitative treatment is critical if the individual
is to avoid experiencing the potentially traumatic effects of the transition
from institutional life to community life. This transitional program should
equip the client with an enhanced capacity to cope with the stresses of home,
community and academic living.
Identified clients will be directed to the Project Coordinator at the Community
Resource Center where he/she will be interviewed, screened and tested as appro-
priate. An individualized program of treatment or services will then be de-
signed for the client. Utilizing a team approach for the initial process of
needs assessment and individualized program design will assure the development
of an integrated, comprehensive program, aimed at the "whole-person" with a
view towards facilitating a return to the home and community with minimal pro-
blems of adjustment. Team members participating in the process of diagnostic-
prescriptive intake will include: the Center's psychologist/coordinator; a
school counselor; the Center's visiting probation officers; resident full-time
police officer; a teacher competent in remediation of learning disabilities;
selected Guidance and Behavioral Change Specialists, and the parents of each
client. The utilization of this team approach aimed at identifying and tending
to the needs of the total individual, will more efficiently provide comprehensive
diagnostic-prescriptive treatment services to referring agencies in the community.
Program components will be designed to service three basic categories of problem
sources or areas of need either individually or in any combination including
the: 1) Psychological 2) Educational 3) Socio-economic.
Symptomatic of the above cited problem categories, the high "risk" youth evinces
one or more of the following characteristics:
1. Demonstration of socially maladaptive, delinquent or criminal
behavior sufficient to warrant diagnostic referral.
Revised 6/8/73 .16
2. High truancy rate;
3. Various learning disabilities, chronically low scholastic,
achievement or deficient basic skills;
4. Emotionally impoverished home situation;
5. Personal disorganization and isolation from others;
6. Suspension from regular school due to drug abuse and/or involvement.
Contingent upon the results of the initial diagnostic process, the Community
Resource Center proposes to challenge these problems via two routes either
singly or in concert:
A. Behavioral Change and Academic Motivation
1. Peer group Guidance and Behavioral Change Specialists providing:
a. Behavioral models examples of socially mature and
acceptable behavior patterns presented as attainable
by the client and apparent to him as personally
rewarding.
b. Tutorial services in cases where the client is vocationally
handicapped due to a deficiency in basic skills (e.g.,
reading, mathematics) or academically non-motivated due to
chronically deficient scholastic achievement.
c. Group Relations-Interpersonal Relationships - This component
of the structure provides for both group and individual
contact with the model in many social settings. The
activities will. grow out of the interests and needs of the
participating clients. Changes are expected to be re-
flected in the relative maturity of personal and group
relationships, the level of functioning in school as well as
in other social contexts resulting in a net diversion of impact
on the Juvenile Justice System.
This above mode will be conducted under the direction of the Project Coordinator
(a professionally trained psychologist), by four graduate psychology students who
will function as Guidance and Behavioral Change Specialists. These "specialists
will be assisted by the visiting probation officers and by the resident police officer_
on campus.
Candidates for the position of Guidance and Behavioral Change Specialists will
be individually selected and screened by a committee comprised of the Project
Coordinator, a District Psychologist and professors from localgraduate schools
of educational psychology. The graduate college students will each be employed
an average of 15 hours per week.
B. Referral Services
Fundamental to the success of the project, it will be essential
to affect the integration and coordination of the many disparate
and traditionally autonomous public and private agencies inter-
facing with the Community Resource Center. To that end, the
following functions and activities will be implemented:
Revised 6/8/73 17
1. The staff of the Center will be responsible for being aware
of and establishing a working relationship with existing
community agencies. A major objective is to increase the
usefulness to the community of these agencies and services
2. The Project Coordinator will provide in-service training
to staff, such that they will become proficient in making
referrals as described above.
3. Close cooperation will be maintained with significant community
agencies such as police departments, human resource develop-
men agencies, and probation departments to insure that persons
requiring services of the Center will be referred to the
project.
4. A comprehensive program of vocational testing, couseling,
and limited placement will be available to Center clients
upon request. A structure based on the PERT accountability
system, currently in use in the Corona-Norco District, will
be utilized to enable a concerned client to experience and
comprehend the decision-Snaking process and to apply that
process to his own career•decision utilizing results of
appropriate tests and counseling aids.. Information necessary
for preparation for entry-level jobs in selected areas will
be available to clients in existing vocational sites in the
District.
5. Extended Day Program services will be provided throughout the
day and evening hours to maximize availability to both school
students and other young adults who have terminated formal
education but have not realized a positive adjustment to
adulthood.

PROJECT EVALUATION
The chart on the following page indicates the general project evaluation design.
Details of process and management will be worked out with the help of the
Evaluation Consultant to provide the opportunity for on-going monitoring and
assessment of effectiveness of each phase. (See page 21)
PROJECT IMPACT
It is expected that the project will result in fewer isolated and dependent
young people in the community. This should result in fewer juvenile arrests
and court appearances, fewer probation referrals and improved usage of community
resources. It is anticipated that the greatest impact will be experienced by
law enforcement agencies and counseling agencies and free clinics which exist
presently in the community. The Resource Center will provide the much needed
coordinative function as an interface between the many disparate community
youth-oriented service agencies.
Revised 6/8/73 19
COMMUNITY AND AGENCY CAPABILITY
The Huntington Beach Union High School District employs 50 highly qualified
counselors and five psychologists. These specialists will serve as important
resource personnel in the project during 1973-74. The District has agreed to
provide complete cooperation in implementation and to offer support services
for continuing consultation during the project's duration.
The project has received the support of the Huntington Beach and Westminster
Police Department plus Teen Help, Inc. as well as several individuals pro-
fessionally involved in the Juvenile Justice System. Local community aid
clinics and youth service agencies have indicated a strong interest in the
project and have requested involvement. The District has gained considerable
emperience from the operation of the District continuation school since 1968.
Students and residents most apt to benefit from the activities described herein
will be selected for project involvement. California State University at Long
Beach and California State University at Fullerton have indicated interest and
a willingness to participate in the project as described.
In addition to the personnel hired specifically for this project, the Huntington
Beach Union High School District will have available the counselors and school
psychologists as additional sources of assistance. Further, Dr. Walt Winters,
Director of Evaluation and Research, will be available for student evaluation,
testing, and research. The experience, knowledge, and background of one
counselor at Wintersburg High School will be brought to bear in the daily counse-
ling of project clients.
The Reading Laboratory and Learning Center teachers now in residence at Winters
burg will be available to .provide individualized learning assistance, remedial
instructional (specifically in reading and math) tutorial assistance, and
occupational exploration opportunities whenever the diagnostic process has
identified these as major areas of need.
Because of the urgent community need and because of the excellent potential
for cooperation represented among the participating agencies, funding is
herein solicited from the California Council on Criminal Justice.

In my professional capacity within the Juvenile -Justice- System and as a
former member of the Orange County Criminal Justice Council, I am well aware
of the problems of youth in affecting a well adjusted transition to adult
life. Too often, we find it necessary to limit our efforts in their behalf
to symptomatic treatment without getting to the root of the problem.
I was pleased to review the proposal of the Huntington Beach Union High School
District for the Community Resource Center which is obviously designed to not
only coordinate and mobilize traditionally autonomous community youth service
agencies but also to affect an in-house program aimed at diagnosing and serving
the total needs of the problem youth. Crime and delinquency are products of
the community and as such must ultimately be resolved within the community.
As a first step, the sharing of responsibility between the Juvenile Justice
System and programs such as the Community Resource Center, can only serve to
enhance the efficiency of each.
I, therefore, heartily endorse the Community Resource Center proposal developed
by Dr. Richard Altimari and staff and recommend it to you for implementation at
the earliest possible moment.
Very truly yours,
Jer A. Matney, Pri cipal

Dear Council Members:
As a member of the Juvenile Justice Commission and Delinquency Prevention
Commission, I am intimately familiar with the problems of delinquent youth
and with those of the traditional Juvenile Justice System in dealing with
them. Crime and delinquency is the responsibility of every citizen. It
affects every citizen, whether directly or indirectly and is a social problem
so significant that it cannot be handled in toto by the Juvenile Justice
System.
It was my pleasure to participate in the planning and development of the
proposal for a Community Resource Center submitted by the Huntington Beach
Union High School District. The stated approach of the project represents
a recognition of this community responsibility and provides for a much needed
coordination interface between disparate community youth service agencies.
The .utilization of a thorough diagnostic intake process designed to. identify
needs and prescribe personalized programs directed at the complete individual,
has implications for a significant impact on the Juvenile Justice System and
community youth service agencies.
Given this significant potential for alleviating the work loads of law en-
forcement agencies, the courts and the probation department, I recommend
this project for funding and offer my unqualified endorsement.
Very truly yours,

Dear Keith:
I have discussed with Mr. Altimiri,of the Huntington Beach High
School District, their proposal regarding implementation of a
District Guidance Center designed for truants and potential drop-
outs.
I feel his proposal has a great deal of merit and would result in
a time savings for law enforcement in this area.

Dear Council Members
Please accept this letter as Westminster Police Department's
official endorsement of the proposal submitted to your council
by the Huntington Beach Union High School District which is
entitled "Implementation of District Guidance Center for Sec-
ondary Students -Designated as Truants and/or Potential Drop-
outs" for funding under the omnibus Crime Control and Safe
Streets Act of 1968.
The Huntington Beach Union High School District Guidance
Center proposal for reducing the rate of secondary drop-outs
was apparently written with much thought :and discussion. We,
of the Westminster Police Department,are convinced it would
certainly ease the current burden on the juvenile sections
of our local and county court system. The idea of one central
clearing house to serve as a counseling and remediation center
would obviously serve to greatly improve articulation between
the Westminster Police Department and the entire Huntington
Beach Union High School Districts staff and student population.
Sincerely yours,
J .

Dear Sir:
Teen Help, Youth Services Center of Fountain Valley, would like to endorse
the Huntington Beach Union High School District's proposal for a District
Guidance Center. Teen Help is working with students and their behavioral
problems generally after school, in the evening, and during the weekends.
There is a real need in our community to have a school facility during the
day where students with problems can be identified, their habilitation can
be started through individual and group counseling, tutorial service, work
experience, and the use of behavioral models.
Teen Help will always be willing to cooperate and to combine services that
we offer with the District Guidance Center. In this manner, we can focus
in on students and offer them a complete service to help them with their
behavioral problems.
Sincerely,
`t ZG,';'

endorsement for the proposed District Guidance Center of the Huntington F

The Drug Abuse Team, Region IV, is working in the high school district
territory with young people and their behavioral problems that can be
related to drug usage. A District Guidance Center could help to
coordinate the efforts of the school and the Team as we attempt to
help individuals with group counseling and tutorial services.

DR. Altimari:
The West Orange County Y.E.S. is very interested in providing services from
our office or from Y.E.S. extended services to Continental Town House complex
in Huntington Beach. We understand that the need for the type of services
that we offer is very great. We would appreciate help from your district
in implementing this particular project as currently we do not have the funds
to provide this much needed service.
It is our understanding that the Huntington Beach Unified High School District
applied for funds to implement the project called "Greater Huntington Beach
Area Community Resource Center". We further understand that this project if
funded by the California Council of Criminal Justice would do much to provide
the type of service that we feel is so badly needed by our youth.
Please let us know if you anticipate receiving the necessary funds to implement
this project on July 1 of this year. We certainly hope that it will be funded.
Sincerely,
THOMAS B. ROGERS

Troubled teens---young people in need of educational vocational ,
psychological and personal guidances and support services---will find the
Huntington Beach Union High School District is trying to put it all together
for them.
According to Dr. Richard Altimari , director of specially funded
programs; "the district is seeking a $39,000 grant from the California Council
on Criminal Justice to establish a resource center for high school age
youngsters with problems. "
Offering a -multitude of free services from job placement to drug
abuse counseling, the proposed "Greater Huntington Beach Area Community
Resource Center" would be housed at Wintersburg High School where guidance
center facilities are presently in operation.
The hoped for grant would expand such services in order to provide
coordination of existing community rescarces such as free clinics and teen
help programs as well as offering educational and vocational services not
presently available from any outside source.
The center would be the kind of place a policeman could bring a
borderline case rather than ta!:ing a youth into the police station. It would
be the sort of service a parent could take advantage of when family resources
for dealing with a troubled student had been exhausted. "But best of all
it would be the kind of place a youngster could go on his own to seek solutions
to personal problems---and find constructive programs rather than just someone
to rap with Altimari says.

Goals of the project include, a reduction in area juvenile
arrests by 25% or more, provisions for assisting a minimum of 80% of clients
in making career decisions commensurate with their abilities, and increasing
measurably the availability of guidance, testing, referral and tutorial help
available to high-risk teens and young adults in the four communities served
by the High School District.
The proposal , which will go to the district board of trustees
January 9, for approval has already received the endorsement of the Huntington
