SUBJECT: Funds for West San Gabriel Valley Juv nile Diversion Project u
BACKGROUND APR 3 0 ]98z
Co!U'r,i
The City has participated and supported the West San Gabriel Juvenile Diversion
Progject since 1974.
The Juvenile Diversion Project is composed of the following member cities :
Alhambra, Arcadia, Monrovia, Monterey Park, Rosemead and San Gabriel . A
majority of the project' s funding has come from State grants (AB90) and County
allocations (Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention) . The remainder of
the funding comes from allocations from the six (6) member cities .
FINDINGS
The West San Gabriel Valley Juvenile Diversion Project has served over six
hundred and twenty (620) Arcadia youths since it began. Last fiscal year,
188 youths had contact with the Juvenile Diversion Project. During the first
nine (9) months of this fiscal year, 185 youths have already had contact with
the Juvenile Diversion Project.
The Diversion project in late 79-80 increased their service to the City of
Arcadia by arranging for one of their youth counselors to spend 4 hours a week
at the Arcadia Police Department. Through this arrangement many more Arcadia
youths were being interviewed by the project. Prior to 80-81, the project
served an average of 45 youths a year. Since 80-81 the project is averaging
92 a year. In addition to these youths, an additional 130 youths , are being •
counseled and released by the youth counselor during the time spent at the
Police Department

COSTS
The City has allocated the following funds to the Project:
FY 79-80 $5,109
80-81 $5,109
81-82 $9,050
The additional four (4) hours a week of counseling service time was added in
FY 80-81. The Project felt that during the prior year (FY 79-80) , the City
had not received an adequate return of services based on its contribution
(See Attachment A) , therefore, they did not increase the funding request in
FY 80-81. The Project, in FY 81-82, requested that the City's contribution
reflect both the increased costs due to the dramatic increase in the youth
services being received and the addtional costs of the counseling service at
the Police Department.
BENEFITS RECEIVED
The Project refers youths to various professional counseling services (See
Attachment B) for which it is billed.

found them to be very cooperative and worked together to accomplish the joint
task of helping the youths. It is believed that the project maintains a positive
working relationship and is doing the best job possible. The parents of the
youths served are appreciative and grateful for the Diversion Project assistance
in providing the funding for the first 25 lessons . Many continue the lessons
beyond this point at their own expense. The parents and clinic report changes
in school attitude and behavior along with the youth gaining confidence in
themselves.
HOY - Contact Marliene Smoker-Blume
The current people at this agency have only been working with the Diversion
Project since the beginning of January. They stated that the Project has readily
provided assistance and responds to requests for help in the restructuring of
HOY. The Project currently provides the funding for the first 10 sessions . It
is taking longer than 10 sessions, but the parental feedback is positive enough
to pay for lessons beyond the first 10.
SPECTRUM COUNSELING SERVICE - Contact: Joan Cline
This agency has been working with the Diversion Project for 6 years. They have
established a very good working relationship with the Project. The Project has
assisted by going to the youths home if they fail to show for a counseling session.
The funding level has changed to only 10 sessions , but this level of service is
still able to provide a viable program. The parents are willing to pay for
additional sessions beyond the first 10, since there is a pattern of improvement
being shown.

Arcadia Police Department - Contact: Sgt. Lou McDonald
When the City first became involved with the Diversion Project, the youth
referrals were being made by Police officers . This was changed about two years
ago to the current arrangement of a youth counselor being at the Police Depart-
ment for 4 hours a week. This arrangement has created a 100% improvement in
the quality of the services being provided, becuase the counselor has a thorough
knowledge of the counseling services offered by the various agencies . The
counselor, through her training, is able to help the more serious problem youths
get the special counseling needs that are required. She is more able to build
a rapport with the counseling agencies than a Police officer could, because their
roles in the Diversion Project are different.
Arcadia Unified School District - Contact: Dan Anderson
The schools indicate that they have a very positive and cooperative working
relationship with the Diversion Project. They are currently establishing a
multifarious approach to the current problems and have received excellent
assistance from the Project. They are now in the identification stage, and
anticipate a major improvement in their making of referrals to the Project.
There could be as many as 40 new referrals made in the next month -or so. Some
of the school ' s problems have been in completing the proper paperwork. To
resolve this problem, a Diversion counselor is now working on campus to assist
the schools with referrals and the necessary paperwork. The schools say the
feedback in reports from counseling agencies have been positive and helpful .
The schools, with Diversion assistance, are trying to establish parental classes
that would be used in conjunction with the youth Diversion counseling sessions .
CONCLUSION
The Diversion Project is requesting that the City of Arcadia contribute $10, 630
(an increase of $1,580) to the Project for FY 82-83. The youths of Arcadia
have always received at least double the City' s contribution back in direct
services (not including administrative overhead) . Based on this return of
service dollars and the positive responses regarding the Diversion Project, I
believe that these funds are well spent.
RECOMMENDATION
Obtain Council approval to budget $10,630 in the FY 82-83 Budget for the West
San Gabriel Valley Diversion Project.

1980 LOS ANGELES COUNTY
YOUTH SERVICES NETWORK EVALUATION
The evaluation date reported here was collected by the Claremont Graduate
School Center for applied Social Research under a contract with the Los Angeles
Regional Criminal Justice Planning Board and administered by Los Angeles
County. One charge of that contract was an evaluation of the program
operations, service delivery, and community role of the thirteen projects of the
Los Angeles County Youth Services Network. The present report, dated July,
1981, responds to that charge.
Major Evaluation Findings
West San Gabriel Valley Juvenile Diversion
The West San Gabriel Valley Youth Services Project offers a mixture of
services that includes those purchased from community agencies and both
remedial reading and employment training provided directly by the project. The
size of the catchment area, as indexed by the local juvenile arrest pool, is about
average for the projects of the Youth Services Network. The West San Gabriel
Project, however, receives a relative client volume somewhat above average
(equivalent to about 26% of the number of youth in the annual juvenile arrest
pool). It maintains a funding level that is typical for the diversion programs and
above average when the youth employment program is included. Assessed in
terms of the local juvenile arrest pool, diversion funding in the project averages
$56 for each juvenile arrest and goes up to $128 per arrest with the employment
funding.
The project boards rate delinquency prevention and diversion as major goals.
They also place considerable emphasis on the project's contribution to planning
and coordinating youth services in the catchment area. All the groups that
participate with the project, especially the service agencies, give the project
very high marks for its role in improving the communication and cooperation
among service providers, referral agents, and local government. 'Improved
relations with law enfocement agencies were cited especially favorably. The
local youth service agencies also reported that the financial assistance available
through the West San Gabriel Valley Project had been important to them.
Project referrals come largely from law enforcement and probation (36%
ana 9% respectively), with the remainder from schools and other sources,
including self-referrals. The large Temple Sheriff's Station in the project
• catchment area, however, refers only 2% of its juvenile arrests, an unusually low
rate.
Though 81% of the law enforcement referral were reported to have
committed a code violation at the time of referral, a search of the juvenile
arrest records revealed that over two-thirds of the referrals did not have a
confirmed arrest when they were referred. Of those that did, however, more
than 32% had a record of prior arrests, indicating a relatively high level of
delinquency risk. About 31% of these juveniles recidivated within six months of
referral--a rate well within the expected range for juveniles of their risk level.
The average cost per client for the diversion services in the West San
Gabriel Valley Project was $258, below the Network average of $303. Further-
more, 58% of the expenditures went directly for service. The remaining 42% for
personnel and operating expenses represented a moderately low overhead rate
close to the Network average.
The policy and advisory boards of the WSGV Project reported active roles in
all phases of the project--program planning, service monitoring, and program
development through promotion, support of favorable legislation, and assistance
in locating and obtaining funding. Overall, the project received quite favorable
evaluations from its own boards and from the service agency and referral
personnel who work with it.

SUBJECT: Resolution Supporting West San Gabriel Valley Juvenile Diversion Project
BACKGROUND
The City has participated and supported the West San Gabriel Juvenile
Diversion Project since 1974. A majority of the project's funding
has come from State grants (AB90) and County allocations (Juvenile
Justice and Deliquency Prevention) .
The West San Gabriel Valley Juvenile Diversion Project must compete
with other organizations in the County in order to obtain funding.
These State and County funds are returned to Arcadia through the
Project's services provided to Arcadia's youth.
CONCLUSION
The West San Gabriel Valley Juvenile Diversion Project has served
over six hundred and twenty Arcadia youths since it began. Last
fiscal year, 188 youths had contact with the Juvenile Diversion
Project. During the first eight (8) months of this fiscal year,
162 youths have already had contact with the Juvenile Diversion
Project.
The Juvenile Diversion Project needs the assistance of each of its
member cities (Alhambra, Arcadia, Monrovia, Monterey Park, Rosemead
and San Gabriel ) through the attached resolutions and letters
from the Mayor to each member of the Board of Supervisors. These
resolutions and letters will assist the Juvenile Diversion in obt-
aining the State and County funds (see attached memo) . This is one
way of returning Arcadia tax monies to provide services to Arcadia's
youths.
vy The City of Arcadia adopted a similar Resolution (#4881) in January
Q of 1980. The Juvenile Diversion Project has received the same
State and County funding for the last four (4) years.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution #5028 and
have the City Council direct the Mayor to draft a letter regarding
the Juvenile Diversion Project and send such letter to each member
of the Board of Supervisors.

As per your request, allow me to outline for you the backgrourC
of AB90 and JJDP funds .
Assembly Bill 90 (AB90)
AB 90 provides funds to the County for programs to effect and
reduce the number of youth committed to the California Youth
Authority. Programs funded include the District Attorney 's
Hard Core Program, Probation Department' s Intensive Gang Super-
vision Program, and S .QD.A. (Status Offender Detention Alterna-
tive) Beds for runaway youth.
Also included in this bill are funds for community based alterna-
tives . The Board of Supervisors has chosen this year to target
delinquency prevention and diversion activities as one of its
major priorities . The Project has been funded for these activities
the last four years .
Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP)
These funds are provided by the federal government to the states
to fund innovative programs to reduce delinquent behavior of youth.
These funds are now coming through the Office of Criminal Justice
Planning (OCJP) to the County of Los Angeles for distribution.
The Project has been funded by this process since its inception in
1974 . The funds for next year are expected to be approximately
$45 ,000 , very little, but still very much needed.
Action Requested
Please have your city adopt this resolution and forward the original
to the Board of Supervisors and a copy to the Project Office. This
will help us greatly in our request for funds .
Also, as you stated, letters from the City Mayors speaking about
the Project to each Board of Supervisor would also be most beneficial.

THE IMPACT OF JUVENILE DIVERSION
IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report is addressed to the Los Angeles County Justice System
Advisory Group and other persons interested in the juvenile diversion
program in L.A. County. It was funded under the L.A. County Juvenile
Justice Subvention Program with the approval of the Board of Supervisors.
The purpose of this report is to assess the impact of the OCJP/LEAA
funded Regional Diversion Program on law enforcement and juvenile justice
systems in Los Angeles County. This is a retrospective study, however,
and, as such, it is limited to data that happened to be available at the
time it was prepared, primarily juvenile arrest and probation referral
statistics. Unfortunately, the most recent year covered in those statistics
was 197.7 and, for other reasons, WIC 601 (status) offenders could not
be considered in the analyses.
The first of the 14 projects of the Regional Diversion Program
were implemented in 1974, the most recent •in 1976, under LEAA funding
channeled through the State and Regional Office of Criminal Justice
Planning. As of 1979, 13 projects were still operating.
The diversion projects receive referrals of delinquent and pre-
delinquent juveniles from law enforcement, the schools, and, in some cases,
the Probation Department. They obtain counseling, tutoring, recreational,
and other services for their juvenile clients chiefly through purchase of
service from community service providers. The projects were planned as
early intervention and delinquency prevention programs but have attempted
to respond to federal, state, and county policy which emphasizes diversion
as an alternative to probation processing, i.e. , diversion of juveniles from
the threshold of probation and the juvenile courts.
Summary Findings
Four issues that pertain to the performance of the Regional Diversion
Program in Los Angeles County are examined in the present report: the
growth of diversion; its impact on probation referrals, its delinquency
prevention effects, and its relative costs.
•
•
*we N00 ii
1. Growth of Diversion: The extent to which the use of diversion as a
law enforcement disposition increased with implementation of the
Regional Program. •
By 1977 approximately 10% of all juvenile arrests in Los Angeles
County, over a wide range of offenses, were referred to some social agency,
an increase of more than 400% since 1972. The service area of the Regional
Diversion Program encompasses 82% of the juvenile arrest pool in Los Angeles
County and, within that area, virtually all police referrals to social
agencies are made through the local diversion project.
About 12,000 juveniles per year are referred to the diversion
projects from all sources combined, a number equivalent to roughly 18%
of the total WIC 602 juvenile arrest pool in the service area. Thus the
use of diversion by law enforcement has increased dramatically and the
Regional Diversion Program has established itself as the major program in
providing social services to law enforcement cases.
2. Impact on Probation: Whether a reduction in the volume of referrals
to probation was associated with the expansion of diversion in L.A.
County, i.e. , whether diversion was serving as a significant alter-
native to probation referral.
Diversion has considerable potential for reducing the volume of re-
ferrals to probation--law enforcement diversions are equivalent to about
20% of the number of juveniles they refer to probation. The projects of
the Regional Diversion Program, however, do not appear to be receiving a
significant number of cases that otherwise would have been sent for prob-
'ation processing. Instead, most law enforcement diversions are made from
among those juveniles who otherwise would have received counsel-and-release
dispositions. Based on analyses of probation referral trends and the di-
- version pool of a number of law enforcement stations, it was estimated
that 75-90% of the law enforcement diversions to the Regional Program
were counsel-and-release type cases, only 10-25% were probation-type cases.
Differences among individual projects in the volume of probation-
type cases received, however, were considerable. Of six projects examined
directly, two received law enforcement diversions comprised of about one-
third probation-type cases while the others ranged down to half that amount.
Viewed in terms of the probation caseload, the diversion program at
best has been responsible for a 2-4% reduction in the volume of law
enforcement referrals to probation, well short of the 20% reduction possible
with present diversion rates. (These estimates refer only to direct re-
ductions in probation referrals. An additional 2-4% reduction probably
occurred indirectly as a result of the diversion program's delinquency
prevention effects, noted below) .
•
•
%se Noe
iii
• 3. Delinquency Prevention: Whether recidivism reductions occurred for
uveniles diverted throu:h the Regional Pro:ram with concomitant
decreases in the amount of juvenile delinquency in the participating
communities.
Two separate lines of evidence support the conclusion that the projects
of the Regional Diversion Program have had a significant delinquency
prevention effect on the juveniles with whom they have been involved. First',
analysis of WIC '602 juvenile arrest trends in Los Angeles County indicated
that a 4-6% annual decline in juvenile arrests during 1974-77 occurred in
those areas served by active diversion projects and did not occur in other
areas. Secondly, four recidivism impact studies conducted at three different
projects in the Regional Program showed reasonably convincing evidence of
reduced recidivism for diversion clients.
The recidivism decrements that were found, however, were greater for
juveniles in the lower diversion range, similar to counsel-and-release
cases, than for juveniles in the upper range of probation-type juveniles.
Expressed more specifically, for comparable cases in the lower range of
offense severity, diverted juveniles had lower recidivism than those
counseled and released; for comparable cases in the upper range, juveniles
diverted and those referred to probation had equal recidivism.
•
The concentration of recidivism reductions among counsel-and-release
type law enforcement diversions suggests the likelihood that diversion
also reduces delinquency among school referrals, which are very similar
cases, though this proposition was not tested directly. - In addition,
1 it appears that _~he amount of service, and probably the nature of the
service, are important factors in the diversion projects' success in
reducing recidivism. Projects that provide little service, in other
studies, have not shown recidivism decrements among their clients and the
less active of the Regional Projects were not associated with reductions
in the juvenile arrest rate.
4. Relative Cost: How the cost of diversion compares with similar and
alternate services and whether the Regional Diversion Program has
resulted in any savings to the law enforcement and juvenile justice
system in Los Angeles County.
The combined budget for the thirteen continuing projects of the Regional
Diversion Program is about $4.5 million per year. The cost per diversion
client during 1974-77 averaged $356 but this figure was inflated by excessive
costs in two projects. The average cost per client for the other eleven
projects was $269.
Cost per client for the L.A. Regional Diversion Program was lower
than virtually all other comparable programs examined in a sample of
programs throughout California, due apparently to the advantages of the
Regional Program's purchase of service procedure.
Several different estimation procedures agreed in showing that the
cost of diversion is less than the cost of probation processing for
•
tilr►' iv
similar juveniles. For example, adding one more diversion case to the
Regional Program adds a cost of about $90 to $135 while adding a comparable
case to the probation caseload costs about $216. The two services have
equal recidivism for the juveniles at issue and diversion provides as much
or more service as probation.
- Since few probation-type juveniles have been diverted (see Point 2, •
above) , however; the operation of the Regional Diversion Program has not
resulted in substantial cost savings to the Probation Department. The
savings were estimated to be in the range of $150,000 to $320,000 per year,
a small fraction of the budget of either the Probation Department or the
Regional Diversion Program (e.g. , 7-14% of diversion budget) . Additionally,
however, the delinquency reduction effects of the diversion program
indirectly reduced referrals to probation by lowering the number of juvenile
arrests. The savings to probation of this reduction was also estimated at
roughly $150,000 to $320,000 per year. Thus the total, direct and indirect,
savings to probation resulting from the Regional Diversion Program was
approximately $300,000 to $640,000 per year.
The delinquency reduction effects of the diversion program also resulted
in a cost savings to law enforcement agencies in Los Angeles County since
the number of juvenile arrests decreased. That savings, however, is difficult
to estimate. Using total cost to law enforcement per arrest, the value
of the reductions associated with diversion was about $1 million per year,
an amount equivalent to 46% of the budgets for the projects involved.
Because so much of the law enforcement expense is fixed. and does not vary
with number of arrests, however, the direct savings was probably closer to
$150,000 per year.
•
Taken altogether, the monetary value of the benefits of diversion are
hardly trivial but at present the diversion program apparently falls well
short of offsetting its costs through savings to other agencies. The
Regional Diversion Program's success is that it provides competitively
priced youth services that have been effective in reducing delinquency,
not that it has saved large amounts of money for county law enforcement
and juvenile justice agencies.
Summary Recommendations
The major recommendations of this study are presented in summary
form below. They are more fully described and discussed on pages 91-98 .
1. Program Definition
It is recommended that diversion project organization, program definition,
funding, and policy separate the delinquency prevention component of the
diversion program from the alternative service (in lieu of probation)
and delinquency remediation component.
2. Delinquency Prevention
•
It is recommended that renewed support be found for the delinquency
prevention activities of the Regional Diversion Program. This is the area
in which the Program shows its greatest success yet current fashion in
funding favors other priorities. •
3. Alternative Service and Delinquency Remediation
It is recommended that, as a necessary preliminary, the Regional
Criminal Justice Planning Board, the AB 90 Justice System Advisory Group,
and other planning and policy groups with an interest in diversion make
•
a full review of the present status of the diversion program to determine
whether expansion of the role of diversion as an alternative to probation
is of sufficient value to warrant a new program initiative.
If such expansion is deemed desirable, two objectives should be
pursued: -
A. Expansion of the volume of probation-type juveniles diverted by
law enforcement agencies through the Regional Diversion Program.
To accomplish this objective:
a) Valid administrative criteria for identifying "probation-type"
police referrals should be developed and adopted for use by
the individual diversion projects.
b) The appropriate agencies in L.A. County should develop a funding
mechanism for diversion that explicitly recognizes and supports
the diversion of probation-type cases.
c) Individual diversion projects should obtain explicit police
backing for diversion in lieu of probation, monitor the number
of such referrals, and provide regular, thorough feedback to
the police officers involved.
B. Development of delinquency remediation programs.
If the diversion projects are to receive increased numbers of
{ probation-type cases, they must develop service programs that are
effective in remediating the behavior of this type of youth.
Accordingly, the projects should experiment with more intensive
Noe vi
service packages for this target group including, for example, employ-
ment and employment training, therapy for learning disabilities, and
intensive academic tutoring.
4. Project Improvement
It is recommended that the policy and advisory boards of each
diversion project, as well as project personnel, take the results of the
present study as a basis for reviewing the project's performance in the
areas of referral volume, delinquency prevention, alternative service,
and cost and that efforts toward improvement be undertaken where
indicated.
The following are suggested points for specific consideration:
.:I
A. Referral Volume
It is recommended that each project work toward a 30% referral goal,
i.e. , receive. a volume of referrals from all sources equivalent in number
to 30% of the WIC 602 arrest pool in the project area.
It is further recommended that the diversion projects continue to
balance their caseloads with no less than 51% law enforcement referrals
and enforce careful screening of non-law enforcement referrals to ensure
1 that they meet explicit criteria as "predelinquents." ,
B. Delinquency Prevention
It is recommended that the projects monitor and continuously upgrade
their service delivery to have effective and diverse service available,
to minimize client attrition, and to deliver a full term of service to
all juveniles for whom it is appropriate.
It is recommended that each diversion project screen law enforcement
referrals and close at intake all cases without significant indications
of chronic behavior problems or other signs of personal or family problems
that provide clear signs of incipient delinquency. •
It is recommended that the diversion projects develop and evaluate
new service strategies aimed at remediating the delinquency of the
probation-type referral and other cases of moderate severity that may
• not respond well simply to counseling.
C. Diversion as an Alternative to Probation
The discussion under Point 3, above, can be applied in large part
to individual diversion projects and is worthy of consideration.
vii
• D. Cost Effectiveness
It is recommended that each diversion project establish procedures for
• routinely monitoring the average cost per client and then continuously
review service arrangements, staffing, and operating expense to keep that
cost figure as low as possible, consistent with delivery of effective
service. Projects with an average per client cost over about $300 should
consider an immediate restructuring aimed at reducing unnecessary expenses.
1 It is further recommended that future development of the projects
of the Regional Diversion Program continue to rely as much as possible
on purchase of service from community sources and that service for each
client be paid individually, i.e. , on a fee per client, per session, or
reimbursement basis.
5. Recordkeeping and Evaluation
It is recommended that the projects of the Regional Diversion Program
adopt and use standardized report procedures for logging referrals, recording
service history, and closing cases so that uniform descriptive information
about program functioning will be available in the future.

Mr. Lyle Alberg _2_
June 22, 1978
By using outstationed CETA funded counselors to augment contract
agency counseling services , we were able to serve 51 Arcadia youth
at an average cost of 185 per youth leaving a net savings to Arcadia
of $11 ,600.00.
For 1978-79, our bare bones request from Arcadia is for a total
of $5,109.00. If Arcadia will reallocate the savings from 77-78 budget,
Arcadia will still realize a savings of $6,491 . If the entire savings of
$11 ,600 were to be reallocated to Diversion for the coming year, we could
provide on-site crisis counseling services for Arcadia schools.
This plan would enable us to keep our legal identity intact and
services available for youth until AB 965 dollars begin. At that time,
additional programs could be reinstated.
Sincerely,
Cleo A. Hunter
Executive Director

At its meeting on May 6, 1975 the City Council authorized staff to
submit a letter of intent on behalf of the City to the West San
Gabriel Valley Juvenile Diversion Project to fund the City's share
of the 5% local hard match for second-year (1975-76) funding of the
Project in the amount of $1,785.81.
It is now requested that the Council authorize actual payment of the
$1,785.81 to the Project. The request arrived too late to be placed
on the formal agenda, but we would like to bring the item up under
"matters from staff." The Project is experiencing a temporary cash
flow problem due to a slight delay in receiving federal grant funds,
and as a result the Project would like to receive the City's share
of the funding as soon as possible.
