ITEM TITLE:
SUMMARY
Since 1985, South Bay Community Services has provided juvenile counseling services to
the City. The attached agreement formally continues those services to be provided which
includes a Youth Counseling Program, Runaway Case Management Program and
Homeless Youth Outreach Program.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
This proposed activity has been reviewed for compliance with the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and it has been determined that the activity is not a
"Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not
result in a physical change in the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3)
of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no
environmental review is necessary.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
DISCUSSION
South Bay Community Services (SBCS) and the Juvenile Services unit of the Police
Department have worked together since 1985 providing a variety of services for juveniles
9-1

Page 2 00
and their families. The proposed contract with SBCS will continue this relationship and
formalize the agreement with the following services:
:>> A minimum of 80 hours per week of a Youth and Family Development Associate.
These associates will work with juveniles who have been contacted, detained, or
taken into custody by police officers for minor non-violent offenses such as
vandalism, curfew violation, burglary, and petty thefts. Last year, this component
of the program provided assistance to 293 juveniles. This program has a 91 %
success rate, which results in a low 9% recidivism rate.
:>> Management of reported cases of runaway juveniles. The counselors track the
status of the case and offer counseling and intervention services to the juveniles and
their families. Last year, the SBCS counselors managed 561 runaway cases.
:>> Other services include anger management instruction, educational assistance,
parenting classes and substance abuse counseling.
:>> Confidential progress reports will be issued at quarterly and annual intervals.
SBCS has tailored their programs to meet the needs of the City. Their experience,
qualifications and community presence make them a unique service provider. The Police
Department does not have comparable staff or expertise to provide adequate similar
services. The cost for providing the same level of service "in-house" would be prohibitive.
Furthermore, the Police Department has been satisfied with the level of service and
professionalism from South Bay Community Services
SBCS employees have all completed pre-employment testing and have a bachelor's degree
or equivalent experience in the counseling field. Since these employees are located at the
Police Department facility, they undergo a background check, which is performed by
Police Department staff.
SBCS provides local youth counseling services approved by the County of San Diego
court system. No other service provider has expressed an interest in providing these
services and the City is not aware ofaltemate services capable of meeting the City's youth
counseling and community outreach requirements. For these reasons, staff recommends
that the City's normal consultant selection process be waived.
The proposed contract is effective July 1, 2008 and will expire on June 30, 2009, and may
be extended an additional four years upon mutual agreement and authorization of the City
Manager.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found a conflict
exists, in that City Council Member Steve Castaneda has property holdings within 500 feet
of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The contract amount of $120,000 for SBCS Youth Counseling services has already been
included in the fiscal year 2008/2009 Police budget. Approval of this resolution will result
in no net fiscal impact to the General Fund. Funds for subsequent years will be
appropriated through the normal budget process.

other materials up to the effective date of Notice of Termination, not to exceed the amounts
