end
Executive Summary:
This Board item requests authorization for the Sheriff’s Office to waive livescan fees for applicants to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin program, in the amount of $9,089 in FY 23-24. The anticipated revenue loss would be offset by release of General Fund Contingencies as part of the County’s quarterly Consolidated Budget Adjustment process.
Discussion:
Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin delivers upstream programming on over 30 school campuses throughout the County. In addition, for 12 years, they have partnered with the Probation Department, operating “The Club” in Juvenile Hall, for which they received NACO and CSAC awards. Each afternoon their staff delivers evidence-based programming focused on leadership and character development to youth detained in the facility. In addition, through the City of Santa Rosa Measure O funding they also provide targeted re-entry support services to youth released from the Juvenile Hall.
The Boys & Girls Clubs requests that the Sheriff’s Office assist them by waiving their fees for fingerprint services for their agency. Both the Sheriff and the Probation Chief support a waiver of fees for this purpose, but note that they do not have the authority to authorize a waiver. Therefore, the Board is asked to allow the waiver of fees for Boys & Girls Clubs applicants who are required to be fingerprinted in order to work for the Boys & Girls Clubs.
The Boys & Girls Clubs processes approximately 200 applicants annually primarily between June and February in order to fill summer-school and fall school schedules.
