Weld County Juvenile Diversion Restorative Justice Program
Budget Modification Request
Estimated Request: $7,550
Timeline:. September 2016 to June 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this budget increase is to accommodate needs that were unknown when the
funding application was submitted in February. These funds will allow for necessary travel and daily
programmatic functioning in order to advance Restorative Justice in our community.
Justification and stated needs:
At the time funds were requested, it was unknown that a program in Durango would be funded. As a
result of this new development, funds are now needed to attend an implementation meeting scheduled
for June 23, 2017 in Durango. After research, it appears that the most cost effective option would be
to fly from Denver the morning of the meeting and fly back to Denver that evening. The current
airfare from Denver to Durango for the intended date is $589 on United Airlines. We are requesting
$650 to cover airfare and travel expenses for the meeting in Durango on June 23. Only one person
from Weld will attend as a result of the cost. These funds will fall under the travel line item for the
funded program.
The National Association of Community and Restorative Justice has announced their biannual
conference in Oakland in June of 2017. This is an association that the Weld County Restorative
Justice team has been members of since the Program Director attended the last conference in
May/June of 2015. This was such a valuable experience that we desire to send 3 people to the
conference in June of 2017. Too few details were available at the time of funding application to be
comfortable requesting funds for travel at that time. However, this conference is a setting that would
allow advancement of practice within the state as well as contributing to the advancement'of
Restorative Justice at a national level. Based on the cost of the past conference and estimated hotel
and airfare, the need is estimated to be around $2000 per person, or $6000 total, to cover the expenses
for three members to attend the June 2017 conference. These funds would be divided in our line
items; $2000 would be added to the travel line item for the funded program and $4000 would be for
the contracted agent in their travel budget.
An area of need that has emerged as the program has been able to expand is the need for a wifi
hotspot. The program utilizes an encrypted, web -based client record management system and access
to this system during intakes and conferences at remote locations allows the program to avoid paper
and printing costs. The wifi hotspot connectivity costs $40 per month. A $400 increase to the budget
of the contracted agent would cover hot spot costs for September, 2016 to June, 2017. This $400
would be in the contracted agent line item for the funded program and would be in their supply and
operating costs.

ATTACHMENT 1.
Since the inception of the program at the beginning of the Pilot phase in 2013, a way to engage and
track volunteers has been desired. A program, Volgistics, would allow easier coordination of
volunteer scheduling, record sharing, and hour tracking. This would allow more streamlined and
professional communication and would also allow the program to report to the RJ Council more
accurately how many hours volunteers are contributing to programming. The cost of this program is
$47 per month. The request is for the amount of $500 to cover the monthly costs of the Volgistics
program from September, 2016 to June, 2017 plus funds to allow for training of volunteers on the new
process. This $500 would be in the contracted agent line item and would be in their supply and
operating costs.
The total increased amount that we are requesting is $7,550.
Travel line item increase - $2650
Contracted agent line item increase - $4,900
Travel - $4,000
Supplies and Operating - $900
