P 3.45* Adoption of Ordinance 44A Seeking Designation of Juvenile CAMP Beds within Butte County
ROBATION
Juvenile Hall - On May 20, 2014, Butte County Probation introduced a newly proposed Butte
County Ordinance regarding the establishment of a CAMP program within Butte County
Juvenile Hall pursuant to the requirements of Welfare and Institutions Code 881. Butte
County Probation is seeking formal adoption of Butte County Ordinance 44A establishing a
CAMP program within Butte County Juvenile Hall. Specifically, Butte County Probation is
seeking to designate 20 beds within Butte County Juvenile Hall as a CAMP program. Upon
receipt of the required Ordinance, the Board of State Community Corrections will re-rate
the capacity of Butte County Juvenile Hall to reflect 20 CAMP beds and 40 detention beds
within the current 60 bed capacity.
Establishment of CAMP beds will allow Butte County Probation to expand services provided
to longer-term committed youth and/or to those youth who might otherwise be placed
within various juvenile placements outside the home and community. Youth would be
committed to the CAMP program and be provided increased educational opportunities,
counseling programming, vocational training, transitional services, development of healthy
lifestyles, and the opportunity to participate in community service projects. The ultimate
goal is that youth, their families, and their community as a whole realize the long-term
benefit of youth having re-engaged in a positive way with their families and communities.
Establishment of CAMP beds will allow the department to apply for funding through the
Juvenile Probation CAMP Funding allocations anticipated to be between $90,000-$144,000
yearly - action requested - ADOPT ORDINANCE AND AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR TO SIGN.
