Dear Commissioner Harbert:
During the recent session of the Colorado General Assembly,
the legislature enacted Senate Bill 93-134. It is expected
that Governor Romer will sign this bill into law shortly.
This letter is to advise you of the specific provisions in
the new law to be administered by the Division of Youth
Services which will directly benefit your county and your
judicial district.
The new provisions are enabling legislation for implementing
Senate Bill 91-94, which allocates funding from the state to
communities for the development of local alternatives to the
placement of delinquent youth in state detention and
institutional treatment facilities. This follows successful
pilot programs which were instituted in eleven counties in
1992. The new legislation will now provide for funding of
similar programs in all of the judicial districts in
Colorado.
The formal planning process will be outlined to the Chief
Judge in your judicial district by the DYS-Regional Director
with the Chief Probation Officer in the next few weeks. I
am asking your help in nominating representatives from your
county for appointment by your Chief Judge to the local
Juvenile Services Planning Committee in your judicial
district. This group will develop the local service plan
for utilizing the resources allocated by the state. The
committee is established in the law as follows:
19-2-1602 .7 IF ALL OF THE BOARDS OF COMMISSIONERS OF EACH
COUNTY OR THE CITY COUNCIL OF EACH CITY AND COUNTY IN A
JUDICIAL DISTRICT AGREE, THERE SHALL BE CREATED IN SUCH
JUDICIAL DISTRICT A LOCAL JUVENILE SERVICES PLANNING
COMMITTEE WHICH SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE CHIEF JUDGE OF THE
JUDICIAL DISTRICT FROM PERSONS RECOMMENDED BY THE BOARDS OF
COMMISSIONERS OF EACH COUNTY OR THE CITY COUNCIL OF EACH
CITY AND COUNTY WITHIN THE JUDICIAL DISTRICT. THE
COMMITTEE, IF PRACTICABLE, SHALL INCLUDE BUT NOT BE LIMITED
TO A REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL 930`15,
78
SERVICES, A LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, A LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT
AGENCY, A LOCAL PROBATION DEPARTMENT, THE DIVISION OF YOUTH
SERVICES, PRIVATE CITIZENS, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE,
AND THE PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE AND A COMMUNITY MENTAL
HEALTH REPRESENTATIVE AND A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE CONCERNS
OF MUNICIPALITIES. THE COMMITTEE, IF CREATED, SHALL MEET AS
NECESSARY TO DEVELOP A PLAN FOR THE ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES
FOR LOCAL JUVENILE SERVICES WITHIN THE JUDICIAL DISTRICT FOR
THE FISCAL YEAR. SUCH PLAN SHALL BE APPROVED BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF INSTITUTIONS.
The Division of Youth Services, through the regional
directors, will be available to provide technical assistance
to the local planning committees. The DYS-Regional Director
will also be available to address any of your questions or
concerns. It is my belief that implementation of this law
can be of significant benefit to the citizens of your area.
Your support of this effort will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Barbara McDonnell
Executive Director
