Personnel Services A. 1. The Project Manager is a credentialed psychologist in the State of California and meets the requirements for psychologist as established by the Huntington Beach Union High School District. The established monthly salary range for psychologists, as adopted by the Board of Trustees for fiscal year 1976 is $1 ,980 to $2,301 in four incremental steps based upon previous experience. Since the present Project Manager has been promoted to another position, the position is presently being refilled. It is assumed that the new Project Manager will enter at the median salary (Step 2) or $2,087 per month. A 7.0% projected increase for FY 1977 would increase the actual monthly salary to $2,233 beginning July 1 , 1976. Hence, the actual salary for the Project Manager is projected at $2,233 for 11 months (July 1 1976-June 30, 1977) or $24,563. The School District will contribute $3,238 to the Manager's salary as its hard match obligation to the total project cost. The Project Manager is responsible for providing psychological evaluation, assessment, prescription, placement, counseling and follow-up for referred clients and/or their families. In addition, the Manager provides and coordinates all interface among the many youth services and community project related agencies. 2. The administrative secretary position requires a person skilled in both secretarial functions and accounting techniques. The projected salary reflects the current salary scale plus an expected cost-of-living increase of 7%. 3. The position of Vocational Technician required an energetic person willing to make personal contact with potential employers in the community on behalf of project clients. The Vocational Technician is a college student at the graduate level who wishes to work part-time for 20 hours per week at $355 per month. This salary is based on a similar position now existing in the district. 4. The five Delinquency Specialist positions have been filled by college or university students at the upper division or graduate level in counseling or psychology. They are working with students and their families to provide big-sister, big-brother relationships, personal counseling, and behavior modeling. Their salaries are -9d- 2. School Diversion (District Guidance Center) attachment . in concert with similar positions in the District in ESEA, Title I and Title III projects as well as our Bilingual Educa- tion Program. B. 1. Benefits Fringe benefit packages are provided for those employees of the District who are working 24 hours or more per week. This criteria applies to the Project Manager and to the Project Secretary. Benefit costs are based on the following rates Medical Insurance Projected @ $90 per month for FY 77 Workmen's Compensation = .88% of gross wages Unemployment Insurance = 3.6% of gross wages Public Employees' Retirement System = 7.63% of gross wages State Teachers' Retirement System = 4.8% of gross wages OASDI/FICA = 5.85% of gross wages 22. Travel 1. Project Manager 150 miles for the Project Manager at 12t per mile X 11 months or $200 to visit homes, schools, community agencies, and various professional meetings throughout the year. The Project Manager must attend professional meetings of many community groups such as the Quad-City Group, the Human Resources Committee of the City of Huntington Beach, and the like, on a monthly basis. In addition, she must frequently visit the five comprehensive high school sites in the District, as well as make home calls on students from time to time. Several state-wide meetings are critical to her job responsibilities such as the California Association of Psychologists and Psychometrists convention (Anaheim, March) , the Council for Exceptional Children Convention (Los Angeles, Spring), and the like. In addition, the need for a possible trip to Sacramento to the Office of Criminal Justice Planning was cited by that organi- zation last year. 2. Delinquency Specialists Based on the experience of the first two project years, a budget of $25 per month is a reasonable expectancy for each of the five Delinquency Specialists to visit homes, schools, and community agencies in the provision of direct services to clients. The Delinquency Specialists provide liaison with the student in his local school site and the Project Manager. An example of the kind of travel required of a Delinquency Specialist would be the case of a student who has been referred because of chronic truancy. An assessment would be made, the student would be placed in the most promising placement available in the District, and a Delinquen Specialist would be assigned to him. for the first week, the -9e- 2. School Diversion (District Guidance Center) attachment s Specialist would make daily contact with the student to ascertain that he was in school--or, if not, why not. . If the student indicated he "didn't wake up" or "didn't feel too well ," the Specialist would make a home call to see if a ride to school might not make the difference. After the first successful week, the student would be called at least three times during the week, and periodically, on the basis of apparent need, in subsequent weeks. Specialists also take students to potential work sites and on recreational activities organized through the project. 3. Vocational Technician Similarly, a budget of $25 per month will be provided for the Vocational Technician in order that she may visit potential job sites in order to solicit placements for project clients. She organizes interviews and activities for the students on their home campuses with the objective of obtaining appropriate job placements. 23. Consultant Services It is understood that the OCCJC will construct an evaluation com- ponent which measures system impact, client change, and the degree to which project objectives are attained. Thus, no consultant services for the purpose of evaluation have been budgeted for the third year of the project. 24. Equipment N/A 25. Supplies and Operative Expenses Office supplies and expenses, $1,170. Costs for office supplies are estimated on the basis of current district records and projected needs.

PROBLEM STATEMENT In 1970, the juvenile population, ages 10 to 17, of Orange County was 243,552; in 1974 this population reached 271,560. There was, therefore, an 11.5% increase in the group of juveniles that provides the pool for potential juvenile crime. Over the same period, 1970-74, juvenile arrests increased 32.7% (to a total of 40,035) , or very nearly three times the rate of population growth. Of the 40,035 juvenile arrests in 1974, 15,075 were for 601 (status) offenses. The arrest rate for juveniles in the County is 14.7%; that is, one youngster is arrested each year for every seven younsters. The com- parable juvenile arrest rate in Region IV is 14.6%. Of the total juvenile arrests in the County, 37.6% were for status offenses such as truancy, incorrigibility and runaway. The comparable figure for Region IV is 27.6%. In the juvenile realm, it is important to segregate two aspects of the problem for purposes of community mobilization. First, there is the question of effective handling of 601 offenders. About 25% of 601 violators in the County (23% in Region IV) were referred to Probation; a substantial number of those referred to Probation were detained in Juvenile Hall and later adjudicated. It is clear that the approach is a good deal less than optimum for the following reasons: (1) probation, detention and the juvenile court are very expensive operations, (2) there is the question of stigmatization and labeling that may enhance rather than retard later criminal careers, and (3) 601 offenders frequently learn the techniques of 602 offenders when there is the opportunity for direct modeling. The second question deals with the optimum method of handling minor and early 602 offenders. It is clear that the first two of the above three reasons against moving youngsters up the juvenile justice ladder are applicable. The answer to both questions seems to lie in community-based youth referral resources that can operate at a small portion of the cost of probation and the court, and at the same time, focus on the problem- at-hand without the dangers of stigmatization and learning (or further learning) of criminal techniques. 33. APPROACHES CONSIDERED There are four law enforcement diversion programs currently in operation in Region IV. The first, the Youth Service Program, has served the cities of Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa since 1972. This Program uses various methods of intervention to alter interactional patterns within the family unit. A second program, the Juvenile Diversion Program was started in the summer of 1975 in the Huntington Beach Police Department under a grant from the California Youth Authority., This supplemented the Youth Service Program in focusing upon youths who received citations from police officers. The juvenile is either referred to the Youth -12- 33. (continued) Service Program or an appropriate community agency, or is retained on file for follow-up contact. The third and fourth law enforcement diversion programs are, respec- tively, the Westminster Youth Service Center in Westminster, and the Teen Help in Fountain Valley. Both programs are aimed at individual and family counseling. Diversion at the school level is provided by the District Guidance Center in Huntington Beach which aims at assessment and treatment services for students. The effort at diversion is directed at the school level because delinquency is so frequently signaled in its earliest stages by difficulties in school. There are currently no respite care facilities available in Region 4. However, there is a new Family Crisis Center in Costa Mesa that will arrange temporary foster home placement. Finally, there are several agencies in Region 4, (e.g. , Child Guidance Center, Sir Thomas More Marriage and Family Clinic, North Coast Regional Mental Health Services, Huntington Beach Free Clinic) that can provide critical back-up support to the main diversionary thrust. In the days immediately following the release of the RFP to implement the Juvenile Program of OCCJC under the 1976 Conceptual Plan, a series of meetings were held involving representatives from the cities of Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, Westminster, and Fountain Valley. These meetings involved city managers, chiefs of police, executive and middle-management police officers, juvenile officers, and staff members of various local diversion projects. Out of the resulting discussions emerged the decision to choose a single law enforcement diversion program and a single respite care program to serve the entire Region. The choice was based upon factors of cost-effectiveness, the desire for uniformity of approach over cities, the desire to allow ready referral of a youth arrested in one city to the diversion program in his resident city, and the advantages of central administrative quality control of counselors, and the advantages of uniformity in supervision and training. When Los Alamitos was assigned to Region 4 for purposes of this proposal, the city manager and the chief of police of that city were contacted to obtain their views on the previously agreed upon plans. Concurrence was obtained. 34. PROJECT OBJECTIVES 1. Community-based treatment of 601 offenders leading to a significant progressive decrease for each year of the project,and establishment of a proven permanent program that will extend beyond the grant. -13- 34 (continued) 2. Provide a comprehensive, intensive community-based intervention so that the Region can approximate a recidivism rate of 25% or less among treated individuals over a three-year period. 35. METHODOLOGY Ultimate responsibility for policy-making, guidance, coordination, and support for the Youth Service Center shall lie in a Region 4 Advisory Board. Membership on the Board shall include city administrators, police personnel, and directors of local diversion projects (see Figure I) . The chairman of the Region 4 Advisory Board shall be the chief of police of the city of Huntington Beach. He shall designate an indi- vidual to represent the Board in dealings with OCCJC staff as well as other County boards and agencies. The Youth Service Center, under the Advisory Board, shall provide assessment, counseling, family intervention, and emergency residential services; act as a distributing center for further referral; plan for the needs of youth; evaluate performances; and coordinate the delivery of services to eligible youth in Region 4. In addition, the Region 4 Youth Service Center will: 1. Maintain current information on youth services provided in Region 4. 2. Provide input to the Juvenile Program Coordination Office for comprehensive planning. 3. Stimulate community effort and involvement. 4. Provide consultation and educational services to the community. 5. Provide planning structures for future service needs. 6. Assume responsibility for providing detailed reports of service resources, based upon needs of Region 4, and of the absence of resources where needed. 7. Assume central role in motivating full participation, including financial, of the encompassed cities. 8. Coordinate and work closely with all encompassed police depart- ments and with the County Departments of Mental Health, Pro- bation, and Social Services. 9. Establish a community work service program for an alternative to petition. The Youth Service Center shall contract directly for law enforcement diversion, for residential care services, and for school diversion services (District Guidance Center) . -14 35. (continued) Upon acceptance into the Law Enforcement Diversion Program (after police referral) , a youth counselor will set an appointment for an assessment interview with the youth and parent(s) . After assessing the problems which may have caused police contact, the youth and family are offered several options for problem resolution. One of these options and the major service provided by the Law Enforcement Diversion Program is family and individual counseling. By teaching communication skills, using behavior contracts and developing coping skills, the counselors aim toward changing behavior that .led to police contact. Since the primary orientation will be toward 601 offenders who would have been referred to Probation if the Youth Service Center were not available, the methods shown effective with such referrals in previous research will be used. Another option of the youth is referral to other community resources, which meets his needs; i.e. , Youth Employment, Boys Club, etc. The Youth Service Center will serve as coordinating agent for all commu- nity services in the Region. Consultation and coordination with schools, employment agencies, recreation centers, mental health teams and private enterprises will be an ongoing part to the intervention. When the Youth Service Center finds no service available to meet the needs of a youth in Region 4, strenuous efforts will be made to aid existing agencies to develop and implement new services. When that is not possible, the Youth Service Center will assume direct responsibility for initiating and developing new programs. In order to keep the police informed of the youth progress in the Law Enforcement Diversion Program, the counselor will give case updates to the police every two weeks. The counselor also will make available to referring police officers the final evaluation when he/she termi- nates each case. There will be frequent consultation between police and counselor on problem cases. Occasionally, the police officer and counselor may work together to design an effective intervention plan for the youth. The Law Enforcement Diversion Program will in addition, assume operating responsibility for the citation program initiated by the Huntington Beach Police Department. This will be applicable only to the Huntington Beach program. Once a youth and family have been accepted for service by the Law Enforcement Diversion Program, they will be eligible for direct service whenever a future crises occurs. The goal is to encourage the sub- stitution of crisis intervention for management of a 601 or 602 offense, and thereby reduce recidivism and lessen the probability of entry into the next stage of the juvenile justice system. Residential care services will offer (1) food and shelter for residen- tial youths who need respite care ranging from one day to two months, (2) twenty-four hour residential care, (3) intensive family and indi- vidual therapy, (4) referral service for medical and legal help, job -15- 35. (continued) counseling and job placement, (5) help in finding alternative place- ments for youths who cannot return home, (6) long-term follow up and program evaluation. Residential care services will provide an opportunity for troubled youths to live away from home temporarily in a well-supervised and supportive atmosphere without the negative effects of incarceration. During this time, the families are involved in intensive counseling, individual, group, family and multi-family sessions. The youths are also involved in "rap" sessions with the houseparents who will take an active interest in the youths' school performance and extra- curricular activities to help promote increased self-esteem. It will be necessary for youth accepted in residential care, and his/ her family, to participate in a counseling program, and participation in the program, of course, requires the three-way consent of residential staff, youth, and parents. The school diversion program seeks to reduce the rate of teen-age delinquency and arrest records through the District Guidance Center. This District Guidance Center will pursue its objectives through the provision of: (1) a model high school district-community agency counseling system, (2) interface services among various public and private youth service agencies, (3) diagnostic-prescriptive psycho- logical evaluation services for students referred by either district schools or community agencies,, (4) specialized educational placement when appropriate, and (5) direct therapeutic services for students and/or parents when appropriate by means of either project staff or community agencies. The remaining community resources will be used as shown in Figure I. Staffing for the diversion program is shown in Figure II. -16- 36.
