Dominguez, Jr., as illustrated in an organizational chart included in Appendix A. Within Weld County Government, only the Board of County Commissioners has the authority to enter into contracts. The Chairman of the Board, currently George Baxter, provides the authorized signature for contracts. Those persons authorized to sign payroll and expense checks for Weld County are George Baxter and the Weld County Director of Finance and Administration, Donald D. Warden. (See Appendix B for the Internal Revenue Service tax exempt status letter.) B. Juvenile Diversion Offices are located on the second floor of the District Attorney's Office within the Weld County Centennial Building. The office street address is 915 Tenth Street, Greeley, CO 80631; mailing address is P. O. Box 1167, Greeley, CO 80632- 973.162 1167. A south county satellite office is utilized on a regular basis when a juvenile counselor schedules Diversion clients in Fort Lupton. The office street address is 330 Park Avenue, Fort Lupton, CO 80621. This building is a Weld County Services Building and provides extension offices for county departments. The Nineteenth Judicial District's Juvenile Diversion Program serves all of Weld County. The larger cities in the county are Greeley and Fort Lupton and the smaller towns include: Ault, Dacono, Eaton, Erie, Evans, Firestone, Frederick, Gilcrest, Hudson, Keenesburg, Johnstown, Kersey, LaSalle, Lochbuie, Milliken, Platteville, & Windsor. All juvenile offense reports originating from the police departments within the 19th Judicial District, as well as those from the Weld County Sheriff's Office, the Colorado State Patrol, and the University of Northern Colorado Department of Public Safety are sent to be reviewed by the Nineteenth Judicial District Juvenile Chief Deputy District Attorney, William E. Starks. Juveniles deemed appropriate to be "diverted from the court system" are referred to the Diversion Program. C. IMPACT ON JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM.

Starks, Chief Deputy District Attorney, verifying the projected number of diversion referrals for FY 1997-98. 8. SYSTEM COLLABORATION Upon participating in the Diversion Program, the counselor is continually assessing the variety of needs of the juveniles and their families. Staff attends and participates in the monthly meetings of Youth Net, a City of Greeley networking organization which is open to all agencies offering services to youth in Weld County. Youth Net offers programs, agency presentations, a variety of announcements including programs offered and job vacancies. The networking is a valuable component to ensure that all agency staff 9711c -4 - have an opportunity to meet with each other and to be knowledgeable on the appropriate manner of referrals to the agencies. The Diversion Program makes referrals to the Partners, Inc. agency for a variety of reasons: Senior Partner, the victim - offender mediation program, and the restitution program. The Diversion counselor will request the Partners staff to consider a juvenile for the Partners Plus Program (S.B. 94) if need warrants. For juveniles with more intense needs, the Diversion counselor will contact the Department of Social Services to request S.B. 94 or PAC (Placement Alternative Commission) that a juvenile be considered for these programs. PAC monies can include paying for testing on the juvenile as well as for placement costs. The Diversion Program also has a diverse number of businesses within the county who provide a community service worksite for juveniles on our program. The juvenile pays a $5.00 medical liability fee through our office, and thus, the businesses are willing to provide a working/learning environment for the juvenile to perform community service work as part of their Diversion contact. 9. PROGRAM EVALUATION FOR FY 1996-97: The objectives outlined in the Nineteenth Judicial District Attorney's Diversion proposal for FY 1996-97 are listed below, with an eight month report (July 1, 1996 -February 28, 1997). 1.

D. APPROPRIATENESS OF SERVICES• 1. OVERVIEW OF SERVICES PROVIDED: Group Education Offered. A variety of group services are provided by the Diversion Program staff. These groups aim to 9711S2 -6 - improve skill deficiencies, reinforce appropriate, productive behaviors, and emphasize alternatives that are socially acceptable. The groups are described below. A Shoplift Group is provided for those juveniles whose offense includes a shoplifting (misdemeanor) theft offense. Juveniles are offered a one-time, two-hour group which includes myths vs. facts re: shoplifting, its impact on merchants, writing an apology letter to the victim(s), payment of restitution if applicable, discussing of their involvement in the offense, and an evaluation. The counselor then meets individually with each participant to review the completed Family History Form and to assess if the juvenile and family are in need of additional services from our office or community referrals. A Parent Orientation Grout) is mandated for all parents of juveniles who are participating in the Diversion Program. This group allows the parents to learn about the Diversion Program and what is expected of them while their-son/daughter- is in the program. This group also provides a supportive environment for parents and to encourage a team approach with the juvenile's treatment goals and plans. This mandatory group is a one-time meeting. A T,ife Skills Series is mandated for all juveniles who are participating in the Diversion Program. This is,a series of five topical groups covering the areas of: trust building. communication. refusal skills, anger management, stress management, setting goals and self-esteem issues. These group sessions are scheduled on a consecutive weekly basis or on an every other week basis. Each group has approximately 7-10 juveniles in each group with the same group members throughout the series. Each group session lasts for 1 1/2 hours after school. A Female Gender Group was piloted this past quarter for ages 10-17. We offered a series of five topical groups covering the areas of: Growing Up Female, Families and Relationships, Diversity, Sexuality and Teen Pregnancy, and Goal Setting. We were fortunate to have a member of the Girl Scouts -Mountain Prairie Council staff approach us and review curriculum on the above topics. The curriculum was very age 9711€2 appropriate, and yet flexible to meet the needs of the females who participated. The feedback from the young women was very positive and the group is currently being evaluated and will be offered again in the very near future. 2. SEQUENCE OF ACTIVITIES: Referral process: Juvenile offense reports are received daily by the District Attorney's Juvenile Division. A "Names Inquiry" is conducted on each juvenile to check for local prior offenses. File folders are then made for first time offenders and case numbers are assigned. A repeat offender's diversion file is located and the new offense is recorded in the cumulative record. Information regarding the new offense is recorded on the Weld County Computer System (limited access). Restitution questionnaires are sent to all victims listed in the offense report. Reports are, then reviewed by the Juvenile Deputy District Attorney. All case files are then sent t'o the Community Programs Administrator. She reviews the offense report and the juvenile's history, assigns a funding source, and a counselor. The Diversion secretary then enters new case information onto the Tiburon computer system and the program statistical information onto the LOTUS system. Letters are sent to parents informing them that they need to call for an appointment for an Intake assessment. If parents do not call for an appointment within ten days, they are contacted by registered mail. If there is no subsequent response, the case is given to the Deputy D.A. to review for court filing. Intake Assessment: At this time, the counselor meets with the juvenile and at least one parent or legal guardian. The police report is reviewed, an advisement of rights is given, and information about juvenile records is explained. If the juvenile accepts responsibility for his/her offense, the Diversion Program is explained and offered to the family as an option to court. 971.1_f_;2 -8 - If the family chooses Diversion over court, the requirements of participation are explained. The parent signs required release forms in order that important information may be shared with school or other appropriate agencies. A complete Family History is then taken and discussion surrounding specific problems may ensue. After the counselor has gained insight into individual problems, an individual case treatment plan is written in contract form and signed by the juvenile, the parent, and the counselor. The counselor then completes a risk assessment, and prepares individualized treatment goals and a related case plan, including the frequency of appointments and the variety and duration of services to be provided. Schools, caseworkers, therapists, and other appropriate agencies are contacted for further information. Contract specifications always include regular school attendance or employment, an apology letter to the victim(s), payment of restitution, community service hours, and counseling or referrals, as needed. Data base information is entered"into the computer. Counseling and Supervision. For six to nine months, the juvenile (with intermittent family involvement) meets with the Diversion counselor for regularly scheduled appointments. These may be planned weekly for high risk youth, but most commonly are scheduled twice monthly. Meetings are usually thirty minutes in length. The counselor supervises the completion of the contract, discusses concerns of the youth as indicated in the needs assessment and plans sessions to work on the treatment goals related to the illegal and troublesome behaviors. The Diversion counselors receive monthly supervision from Scott Shannon, M.D. who is the Medical Director/Psychiatrist for Child and Adolescent Services at Psychcare in Greeley, CO. Referrals to other agencies are made as indicated. Case notes are maintained by the counselor in the juvenile's Diversion file. Termination. Youth are discharged or terminated either successfully or unsuccessfully. Successful termination indicates that all terms of the contract were satisfactorily completed. The Termination Summary is completed, placed in 9711C2 -9 - the file and closed. Unsuccessful terminations are referred to the Deputy D.A. for review and either filed in court or closed as unsuccessful. An unsuccessful closing would eliminate a juvenile from consideration for Diversion should he/she be detained on a future charge. Staff/Case Supervision. The Community Programs Administrator reviews all cases at referral and at termination. In addition, the Administrator reviews individual cases on a regular basis and provides comments to the counselors related to content and direction. Counselors inform the Administrator of any incidents, crises or high risk situations. Bi-weekly staff meetings are held with a planned agenda which includes case staffings, paperwork updates and changes, and in-service training. Each counselor is required to meet with the Administrator at least once per month on an individual basis for any programmatic concerns. An evaluation of the counselor's performance is completed based upon the Weld County Personnel requirement with the counselor evaluating him/herself with the. Administrator. Positive and open communication is a primary concern in this program to ensure high morale and productivity. 3. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA: 3a. Commission of an illegal offense while between the ages of ten and seventeen. 3b. Taken into custody at least once or twice for a misdemeanor offense or once for a felony. 3c. Offense report sent to District Attorney's Office for review. 3d. Review by Deputy D.A., Juvenile Division, indicates: sufficiency of evidence; offense is non-violent; history of juvenile and circumstances of crime do not require a court filing. 3e. The juvenile and his/her parents must choose to participate in the Diversion program instead of court and agree to the terms of the contract. 3f. The juvenile must accept responsibility for participation in the criminal activity and agree to the terms of the contract. 3g. At intake, counselor deems juvenile appropriate for diversion services. Very few juveniles would be 9711€2 -10 - found inappropriate at this point (less that 5%). One factor which might precipitate rejection at this point would be the discovery of information regarding the juvenile's history that was not available to the Deputy D.A. 4. FEES ASSESSED: (Effective January 1996) DIVERSION PROGRAM: $50.00. INTAKE/WARNING FEE: $40.00 COMMUNITY SERVICE LIABILITY FEE: $ 5.00 Fees will be collected by the Diversion counselor during the first 30 days that the juvenile chooses to participate in the Diversion Program, the Intake/Warning program. Upon payment of fee, the counselor will write a receipt to the juvenile. The fee must be paid in the form of cash or money order made payable to the District Attorney's Office. The fee is then given to the Diversion secretary who will balance all monies received with the receipts written and an end of the month deposit is then made by the Administrator and the secretary. All program fees aresecuredin a locked area until the monthly deposit is made. SHOPLIFT GROUP FEE: $20.00. Fee will be collected by the Diversion counselor prior to allowing the juvenile to participate in the Shoplift Group. All fees must be in the form of cash. A receipt is written and given to the juvenile. The Diversion counselor will give all fees collected to the secretary who will secure the funds in the locked area until the monthly deposit is made. 5. PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY: It is the goal of the Nineteenth Judicial District Attorney's Juvenile Diversion Program to provide a community based alternative to the formal court system for Weld County juvenile offenders who meet the criteria for services. The program seeks to provide a balanced approach which includes: protection to the public; holding youth accountable and responsible for their behaviors; and helping youth to develop the competencies and skills needed for them to live productively and responsibly in the community. Each juvenile has a unique set of circumstances and factors which have contributed to his/her offense behavior. The 97111.2 -11 - response of the counselor will be to develop an individualized case treatment plan that is related to an assessment of unique contributing factors. Justice is best served in this program when the community, the victim(s), and the juvenile and his/her family receive balanced attention and all gain tangible outcomes from the interaction with this Diversion Program. It is within this framework that all program services are delivered. In accordance with "The Balanced Approach," it is our goal that through community service, the youth will take responsibility for their crime(s) by returning to the community a service of measurable value. And, through the restitution program, repay the victim for damages resulting from their crime(s). It is our hope that with the community and youth working together, this experience will help the youth gain meaningful skills and acquire respect toward self and others, thus, leading to more productive living, a safer community environment and lower recidivism.. 6. Note: Our Diversion Program has not yet received training from the Division of Criminal Justice to utilize the CYO-LSI (Colorado Youth Offender Level of Service Inventory) assessment tool as of this date. We hope to receive the training within the coming year. 7. ASSESSMENTS: The Diversion Program utilizes a variety of assessment instruments. The weds as,?Rsment form is written to accommodate two age levels: a) ages 10-13; b) ages 14-17. This form is given to the juvenile to complete and is then discussed with the Diversion counselor. One Diversion counselor has completed training for the e Firesetter Evaluation; however, due to office time constraints, the juvenile and parent are typically referred to the Greeley Fire Department to complete the evaluations. Results are then sent to our office along with recommendations. The juvenile, parent and Diversion counselor review the results in detail. Juveniles needing drug and alcohol evaluations are referred to either a) Island Grove Regional Treatment Center or the Family Recovery Center. A fee is paid by the juvenile to the facility prior to the evaluation. Results are then sent to the Diversion counselor who review the information with the ry 111& 2 -12 - juvenile. Frequently, we require the juvenile to act on the recommendations made. 8. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES for every phase of the Diversion Program are provided in a training manual. It is updated frequently as changes area made. Each new staff member is required to review the manual prior to beginning their caseload. See Appendix D for procedures that could be included with this application. 9. PROGRAM ASPECTS ON CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND GENDER -SPECIFIC SERVICES. The Diversion Program staff attend inservice workshops and related conferences that offer culturally appropriate information that can be utilized by our program. We understand the .need of speaking and/or understanding the Spanish language. Therefore, as a staff, we enrolled in various levels of Spanish classes offered by Weld County Personnel Department. Several of the Diversion staff including the secretary have been learning: to speak: Spanish. To staff members are currently on the Spanish II and Spanish III level. All Intake Packet forms have been translated into the Spanish language. We encourage family members to bring an adult family member with them if there is a need for an interpreter. However, if the family does not have someone they choose, our program will contact.and make arrangements for a Spanish interpreter to be present. This service is provided at no cost to the juvenile and their family. As mentioned earlier, we have recently completed our Female Gender Group pilot program. The curriculum was developed by one of our Diversion counselors along with a member of the Mountain Prairie Council Girl Scout staff. The group was offered to girls, ages 10-17 and included five topical groups. The group was a success and a second group is being planned. 10. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES FOR FY 1997-98: 1. TO PROVIDE STATE CRITERIA JUVENILES WITH A COMMUNITY BASED ALTERNATIVE TO THE FORMAL COURT SYSTEM FOR AN ANTICIPATED ACCEPTANCE RATE OF 70% AND AN ANTICIPATED REJECTION RATE OF 30%. 971.1.2 -13 - la. State criteria juveniles are those who have been taken into custody for one or more misdemeanor offenses or one felony, and therefore would likely result in a juvenile filing. Juveniles are referred for Diversion by the Chief Deputy District Attorney who reviews all offense reports. The Community Programs Administrator then assesses those referrals to determine the appropriateness of each referral programmatically and assigns cases to a juvenile counselor. lb. Diversion services will include: screening, intake and assessment; individual and family counseling; educational and counseling groups, such as redirecting anger, life skills, parent groups; referrals to substance abuse evaluations and treatment programs, psychological testing and treatment; referrals to Partners; supervision and case management; restitution collections; and community service hours. lc. Diversion services will thereby reduce the number of cases filed by the Deputy District Attorney, reduce the number of cases referred to Probation and reduce expensive processing through state courts. It is determined that a savings of $1,066 per juvenile per year is saved when a juvenile is diverted from the court system and placed on juvenile diversion: $1,316 (the cost of probation per year) less $250 (cost of juvenile diversion per juvenile). A savings of $49,750 per juvenile is determined when a juvenile is diverted from DYS: $50,000 (cost of DYS per year) less $250 (cost of juvenile diversion per year). NOTE: these are 1995- 96 cost figures. 2. PROJECTED RECIDIVISM RATES FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS WILL BE 15% FOR SHORT-TERM RECIDIVISM AND 35% FOR LONG-TERM RECIDIVISM. 2a. Short-term recidivism is defined as a re -arrest while on the Diversion program, resulting in a case filing. The Juvenile D.A., the Community Programs 971.1(2 -14 -- Administrator, and the juvenile counselor consult regarding further action. If the offense is minor and the counselor is willing to continue working with the juvenile, the juvenile is given consequences for the offense. Consequences might include: additional community service hours, additional restitution to pay and/or added contractual time. Short-term recidivism will be measured by any re - offense while in the Diversion program recorded in the closing log. 2b. Long-term recidivism is defined as a re -offense within five years after a juvenile's case has been closed in the Diverion Program. The juvenile D.A. will determine, at the time of the current offense, whether to file or to offer another opportunity with the Diversion Program. Long-term recidivism will be measured by tracking all new police reports to determine if the juvenile has had any prior involvement with the Diversion Program over the past five years. If tracking records show previous Diversion involvement, a notation will be made in the new case log, along with a notation of whether the case was closed "successful" or "unsuccessful." The number of juveniles, involved with the Diverion Program, who have re -offended after his/her case has been closed, will be tracked and counted as this program's long- term recidivism rate. 3. PROJECTED AMOUNT OF RESTITUTION TO BE $5.000 TO BE DISBURSED TO THE VICTIMS OF THEIR CRIMES. PROJECTED NUMBER OF SUPERVISED ASSIGNED COMMUNITY SERVICE WORK HOURS TO BE COMPLETED WILL BE 1.000 HOURS. 3a. Victims of juvenile crimes will be contacted to complete and return restitution forms. 3b. Each juvenile's diversion contract will include payment of any restitution owed to victim(s). 3c. In cases where monetary losses did not occur, or 9711X.2 -15 - many times in addition to payment of restitution, the juvenile's diversion contract will include assignment of community service hours. 3d. A consistent procedure is in place for assigning community service hours (sixteen hours for each offense). In the case of a juvenile who is already employed or is responsible for family caretaking, the community service hours may be altered. This provides a consistent and reliable method of assignment. Because of an expanded community service program developed by the Community Programs Administrator, the counselors have more comprehensive and diverse choices related to assigning juveniles community service hours. This can result in more successful completion of assigned community service hours and program success in general. E. ACCOUNTABILITY OF YOUTH RESTITUTION: Restitution forms are sent to victims immediately after the offense report is received. The victim has twenty days to complete the forms and to document all requests with estimates or receipts regarding repair or loss. The amount of loss for each victim is divided among co-defendants and each youth is responsible for paying 100% of his/her share of restitution. A payment schedule is developed by the Diversion counselor who may also advise ways of earning money. The juvenile must purchase a money order, payable to the victim, which the program sends to the victim. The restitution component of the program is designed to be a learning experience for the youth as well as a reimbursement system for the victim. NOTE: It is difficult to project a number of victims to receive restitution. Restitution amounts can vary from a few dollars up to $2,000 per juvenile. Our Programs Goals for 1997-98 indicate the amount of projected restitution to be collected. COMMUNITY SERVICE HOURS: Community service hours are consistent with each juvenile participating in the Diversion Program. For ages 10-13: 10 hours are assigned for the first offense; in the event they are on the Diversion Program with two offenses, they are assigned 15 hours. For ages 14-17: 16 hours are assigned for the first offense; in the event they are on the 9711 € 2 -16 -- Diversion Program with two offenses, they are assigned 24 hours. They are given a period of six weeks to complete their community service hours at a worksite assigned by their counselor. Each juvenile is required to pay a one-time $5.00 medical liability fee to this office prior to beginning their hours. Our liability policy is through Hartford Acct. and Life Insurance, Denver, CO. The hours may be altered only in a situation where the juvenile is the caretaker of a family member or where employment and school may present a problem for the juvenile's economic and/or academic survival. VICTIM OFFENDER MEDIATION: Our Diversion program serves as a referral agency to Partners, Inc. for Victim Offender Mediation. The Diversion counselor explains the process involved to the juvenile and their parent/guardian. There is a $35.00 fee to be paid by the juvenile in order to.participate in the process. For more details on this arrangement, please. refer to the policy/procedure in Appendix D. REFERRALS TO OTHER AGENCIES: Counselors not only refer juveniles to agencies outside the program. They also maintain resources including a variety of Weld County service providers as contacts for youthwith special needs. Those agencies utilized most frequently include Partners, Department of Social Services, alternative schools, GED programs, Boys and Girls Club, Rodarte Center, Youth Passages (North. Colorado Psychcare Youth Treatment Program), and Island Grove Treatment Center (for substance abuse evaluation and treatment). SUPPORTIVE EDUCATION SERVICES: During the intake process, the counselor identifies and addresses academic, behavioral, and attitudinal problem areas in the juvenile's educational setting. The program's goal is to maintain students in their present educational settings or to prepare them for reintegration into a public school setting, a vocational program such as Job Corps, or into a GED program. To assist the juvenile in attaining these goals, the counselor may obtain overall progress reports, achievement scores and ability scores from the schools. The counselor may request input in special educational staffings and may also monitor attendance and act as an overall liaison between the youth and his/her school. 9711€2 -17 - COUNSELING: All counselors on staff are required to have masters degrees in the counseling field and at least one year experience. The counseling staff is well-equipped to provide short-term guidance and counseling to troubled youth and their families. As indicated above, the program provides individual, group and family involvement, and counselors are supervised according to state law by a qualified expert. In addition, a number of juveniles and their families are referred outside the agency for therapy when it is assessed as necessary. PROJECTED RECIDIVISM RATES: a. Short term recidivism is defined as a re -arrest while on the Diversion Program resulting in a case filing. The Juvenile Deputy DA, the Administrator and counselor consult regarding further action. If the offense is minor and the counselor feels commitment from the juvenile, the juvenile is given additional consequences for the new offense and allowed to remain on the program. Consequences may include: additional community service hours, additional restitution to pay and/or addedcontractual time. Short term recidivism will be measured by any re -offense while on the Diversion Program and reported in the closing log. b. Long term recidivism is defined as a re -offense within five years after the juvenile's case has been closed. The juvenile Deputy DA will determine, at the time of the new offense, whether to file or to offer another opportunity on the Diversion Program. Long term recidivism will be measured by tracking all new police reports to determine if the juvenile has had any prior involvement with the Diversion Program over the past five years. If tracking records indicate previous Diversion involvement, a notation will be made in the new case log, along with a notation of whether the case was closed as successful or unsuccessful. F. COST EFFECTIVENESS OF PLACEMENT 1. ANNUAL BUDGET Refer to Attachments B and C for more detailed budget information as requested. 2. BUDGET NARRATIVE -- DIVERSION PROGRAM STATE DOLLARS REQUESTED: The Nineteenth Judicial District Attorney's Juvenile Diversion Program is requesting $e&7311 in state funds to support one 2i0 toir 9711.S.2 -18 - Community Counselor III position which is critical to the operation of the program. This amount is 75% of the total project cost. The 25% local match amount of $733 �fl) will be provided by Weld County General funds in the form IU i/ of cash/in-kind operating costs of the benefit package. As indicated in the proposal, a masters degree and one year experience are required for the Counselor III positions. All project staff meet this requirement, and it is necessary to have these qualifications in order to provide quality services to such a difficult population and to make assessments for more serious family and individual needs. The District Attorney's Office is subject to positions and salary levels which are determined by Weld County Personnel Services. 2. LOCAL MATCH: The Weld County General Funds will contribute 25% of the salary cost of this Diversion position for FY 1997-98. The amount "of$� $7333 is designated as the local match for the egeecrpackag be for reporting purposes. Weld County General Funds absorb the annual cost of living raise as well as any step increases in salary for each counselor position. This match also includes in -kind operating expenses. BUDGET OPTIONS: 1. The Diversion Program is requesting funding for one full- time counselor. It would be extremely difficult to provide a quality service for the number of juveniles in this program with less than the requested amount. It should be noted that, later in this RFP, the Intensive Family Intervention Program will request funding for one full-time counselor for juveniles who may not require court intervention but rather intensive family services. 9711€2 -19- RFP #BF -01897 PROPOSAL ADDENDUM INTENSIVE FAMILY INTERVENTION PROGRAM FOR 1997-98 NOTE: FOR THE PURPOSE OF NOT REPEATING INFORMATION THAT IS PROVIDED IN THE PREVIOUS PAGES ON THE DIVERSION PROGRAM THAT IS THE SAME FOR THE INTENSIVE FAMILY INTERVENTION PROGRAM, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE FOLLOWING AREAS ARE THE SAME: A; B; C 1-8.

OVERVIEW OF SERVICES PROVIDED: (romp Rdncation Offered. A variety of group services are provided by the Diversion Program staff. These groups aim to improve skill deficiencies, reinforce appropriate, productive behaviors, and emphasize alternatives that are socially acceptable. The groups are described below. A Shoplift Group is provided for those juveniles whose offense includes a shoplifting (misdemeanor) theft offense. Juveniles are offered a one-time, two-hour group which includes myths vs. facts re: shoplifting, its impact on merchants, writing an apology letter to the victim(s), payment of restitution if applicable, discussing of their involvement in the offense, and an evaluation. The counselor then meets individually with each participant to review the completed Family History Form and to assess if the juvenile and family are in need of additional services from our office or community referrals. A Parent Orientation Group is mandated for all parents of juveniles who are participating in the Diversion Program. This group allows the parents to learn about the Diversion Program and what is expected of them while their son/daughter is in the program. This group also provides a supportive environment for parents and to encourage a team approach with 9711,2 -21 - the juvenile's treatment goals and plans. This mandatory group is a one-time meeting. A Life Skills Series is mandated for all juveniles who are participating in the Diversion Program. This is a series of five topical groups covering the areas of: trust building. communication, refusal skills, anger management. stress management. setting goals and self-esteem issues. These group sessions are scheduled on a consecutive weekly basis or on an every other week basis. Each group has approximately 7-10 juveniles in each group with the same group members throughout the series. Each group session lasts for 1 1/2 hours after school. A Female Gender Group was piloted this past quarter for ages 10-17. . We offered a series of five topical groups covering the areas of: Growing Up Female, Families and Relationships, Diversity, Sexuality and Teen Pregnan y, and Goal Setting. We were fortunate to have a member of the Girl Scouts -Mountain Prairie Council staff approach us and review curriculum on the above topics. The curriculum was very age appropriate, and yet flexible to meet the needs of the females who participated. The feedback from the young women was very positive and the group is currently being evaluated and will be offered again in the very near future. A Family Group Series is provided for the juvenile and their parent/guardian approximately midway through the program. All family members are invited to participate. Topical groups have been developed which include: Conflict Resolution, Parenting Styles, Communication/Negotiation, Children, Responsibility and Discipline, Change and Problem - Solving. The groups run 1 1/2 hours in length and group interaction is encouraged. Each group provides for group discussion, exchange of ideas, teen and adult input, and scenarios to respond to. The groups have been very successful. Note: D.2-9 are the same as information provided in the previous Diversion section. w 9711f2 f 2 -22- D. 10. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES FOR 1997-98: 1. TO PROVIDE Q STATE CRITERIA JUVENILES WITH INTENSIVE FAMILY INTERVENTION TO PREVENT THAT JUVENILE WITH SEVERE FAMILY PROBLEMS FROM ENTERING THE COURT SYSTEM (WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO MINORITY AND MONO -LINGUAL (SPANISH SPEAKING) FAMILIES. la. State -criteria juveniles who are already participating in the Diversion Program in addition to newly accepted cases identified as IFI cases identified as having difficulties in meeting the requirements of the diversion program contract related to community service, restitution, keeping appointments, and family involvement will be assessed for the "Intensive Family Intervention Program" ("IFI"). These juveniles very often end up in the court system, due to criminal behavior and family dysfunction. lb. When a juvenile and family has demonstrated a lack of participation in the -diversion program due to situations not involving violent behavior such as: language barriers (monolingual Spanish-speaking families), emotional problems with juvenile and/or parents/guardians, inability to comprehend the system and/or expectations of the diversion program, this family will be referred to the "IFI" program counselor. If the language barrier involves a language other than Spanish, efforts will be made to provide for language interpretation. lc. The "IFI" program counselor will assess the family for intensive services to include: school visits/ staffings and coordination with school counselors and teachers, assisting the family with language interpretation, health needs, mental health needs, and other referrals needed by that family to continue to divert that juvenile from the court system. ld. At the cost of approximately $700 per juvenile in the "IFI" program, the savings over the costly 9711S.2 -23 - involvement of the already over -crowded court system and/or Department of Youth Services, it is certainly a more economical way to address juvenile and families who are disadvantaged by language and/or emotional problems in the family. 2. PROJECTED SHORT-TERM RECIDIVISM RATE FOR THE JUVENILES INVOLVED IN THE "IFI" PROGRAM WILL BE 15o AND 'i0% FOR LONG-TERM RECIDIVISM. 2a. Short-term recidivism is defined as a re -arrest while on the Diversion program, which may result in a case filing. The Juvenile D.A., the Community Programs Administrator, and the counselor consult regarding further action. If the offense is minor and the counselor is willing to continue working with the juvenile, the juvenile is given consequences for the offense. Consequences may include: additional community service work, additional restitution' 'to -'pay,-- and/or added - contractual community service time. Short-term recidivism will be measured by any re - offense while on the Diversion program recorded in the closing log. 2b. Long-term recidivismis defined as a re -offense within five years after a juvenile's case has been closed in the juvenile Diversion program. The Juvenile D.A. will determine to file or to offer another opportunity with the Diversion program. Long-term recidivism will be measured by tracking all new police reports to determine if the juvenile has had any prior involvement with the juvenile diversion program over the past five years. If tracking records show previous juvenile diversion involvement, a notation will be made in the "New Case" Log, along with a notation of whether the case was closed "successful" or "unsuccessful." The number of juveniles, involved in the juvenile diversion program, who have reoffended after his or her case has been closed, will be tracked and 971:"_C2 -24 - counted as this program's long-term recidivism rate. Note: The majority of Section E is the same as stated previously in the Diversion information. However, additional information pertaining to the Intensive Family Intervention Program is listed below. E. With the "Intensive Family Intervention Program," juveniles and families who would otherwise have been placed in the court system because of underlying family problems can be given more intense, culture -sensitive interventions. The over -representation of minorities in the juvenile diversion program is of serious concern to this judicial district and it is hoped that the minority juveniles and families can be helped in a specifically designed program for these needs. If there is a case of non-compliance with a juvenile and family, and it is resulting from a language barrier, severe family dysfunction, or a problem with comprehending. the contract agreement, they are referred to the "IFI" Program. Juvenile appointments on the IFI Program are 45 - 60 minutes in length each time. This allows the counselor to meet more in-depth with the juvenile and family members. This assistance can involve assessing for mental health needs, health problems, language needs, etc. The case will be staffed with the Community Programs Administrator, who, if case is determined appropriate, will then assign that case to the "IFI" counselor. The "IFI" counselor will then begin the intensive family interventions in an attempt to provide services appropriate for this family and thereby, continuing to divert the juvenile from the court system.

BUDGET OPTIONS: 1. The Intensive Family Intervention Program is requesting funding for one full-time counselor. It would be extremely difficult to provide a quality service for the number of high -risk juveniles in this program with less than this amount. It is a quality program that can provide much needed intense services to juveniles and families that are impacted by severe dysfunction. The services provided by this program attempt to divert the juvenile from being further infolved in the court/criminal justice system. Thus, we are saving taxpayer dollars in a much needed manner.

Victim Offender Mediation Program (VOM). Diversion Counselor determines if a juvenile and family are appropriate to refer to the Partners, Inc. Victim Offender Mediation Program. Referrals would be made if the juvenile has a large amount of restitution to be paid to the victim, and/or has few options available to earn the money on his/her own ability. Review the VOM Program with the juvenile and parent/guardian. Be clear and concise about the following expectations of the program. 1) The juvenile will be held responsible for payment of a fee to participate in the VOM Program (approximately $351. NOTE: The juvenile may pay the fee or pay part of fee and work off the remaining portion of the fee. If the juvenile/family will not pay the fee, the Diversion Counselor must inform Partners of this information at the point of referral. 2) Juveniles will be assigned to an appropriate work site by a Partners staff member. Liability will be covered by the Partners Program for work crew program. 3) Juveniles will be paid for work hours twice per month. Juveniles will receive 25% of total pay while 75% will be paid to the victim. Partners staff will send the payment directly to the victim. Partners staff will provide records of payment to the Diversion Counselor. 4) On the Diversion Program Release Form, be sure to list "Partners, Inc. Victim Offender Mediation Program." 5) Diversion Counselor will send a copy of the case police report to the Partners Office, 1212 8th Street, Greeley, CO 80631. (Note the date that you send the police report to Partners in your progress notes.) We do not need to "black out" the names of victim or juvenile in the police report. Partners staff will contact the victim re: mediation process. NOTE: For the mediation process, if the victim wishes to have a copy of the police report, we can provide this free of charge. 971:5c2 Victim Offender Mediation Referral Process Page 2 6) Diversion Counselor fills out the form, gives top sheet to the juvenile offender, sends yellow copy to Partners. Juvenile offender must contact Partners within 72 hours to schedule intake interview, or the referral will be returned. When accepted to the program (based on need and a perceived desire to participate), juvenile will follow one of two tracks (see attached sheet on Track I and Track II). Other notes of information: 1) The Diversion Counselor will set the number of community service hours to be completed by the juvenile. Partners staff may only change the amount of restitution by the mediation process if the victim agrees to a lesser amount and the remainder tip be "worked off" by the juvenile. EXAMPLE: A juvenile is assigned 16 community service hours and has $100 restitution to pay to victim. In the VOM process: victim and juvenile may agree to $75 restitution (money) and the remaining $25 to be worked off on the work crew. The juvenile will still have the 16 hours to complete that were assigned to him/ her in addition to the number of hours to pay off the $25.

Baxter, Chair Board of County Commissio Nancy I. Haf. 19th Judicial Dis June 17, 1997 A.M. Dominguez, Jr. - District Attorney Thomas Quammen - Assistant District Attorney enile Diversion Program DCJ Grant for Juvenile Diversion Program 1997-98: Revised Grant Proposal and Budget Sheets; Contract Forms The Division of Criminal Justice has awarded the Juvenile Diversion Program the same amount of grant monies as we were operating from during the past 3 -year grant cycle. We were denied the full amount of grant dollars per our grant proposal for 1997-99. With the Colorado Division of Purchasing acting as the agent for the grant process effective this year, the pool of applicants increased significantly and dollars were cut from some agencies in order to give dollars to new applicants. Feedback I received from Ms. Mindy Miklos, Division of Criminal Justice, is that our grant request was extremely fortunate to receive the same dollar amount that we have been receiving during the previous 3 -year grant cycle. Therefore, the grant contracts (attached are 4 copies) are presented for your signature (each contract must have an original signature, preferably signed with blue ink). All four copies must be returned to the grant source. Once all signatures are affixed to the grant contracts, copies will be returned to us. I have also attached a revised copy of the grant proposal to be filed with the original in your office. The revisions were necessary due to the change in dollars requested vs. granted. I will attend the County Commissioner's meeting on Monday, June 23, 1997 in the event that you have any questions or concerns to address. I appreciate your support as we continue to procure grant dollars to support the Juvenile Diversion Program.
