18. RESOLUTION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE OF ARIZONA FAMILY COUNSELING PROGRAM Participate, by resolution, in the State of Arizona Family Counseling Program for FY2018-19, administered by the Juvenile Court pursuant to A.R.S. 8-261 through 8-265 for the purpose of strengthening family relationships and prevention of juvenile delinquency. Authorize $68,081 (budgeted) matching General Funds for FY2018-19. The Juvenile Probation Department in Maricopa County has participated in the Family Counseling Program provided by the Arizona State Legislature, A.R.S. 8-261 through 8-265 for over 40 years. The objective of the program is to divert delinquent or incorrigible offenders from the court process by providing counseling until the family can mobilize its own resources for meeting its problems. In addition, the counseling is provided to reduce referral frequency to the Juvenile Probation Department. The allocation to Maricopa County for FY2018-19 is $272,329 which will be disbursed by the Administrative Office of the Supreme Court. A 4 to 1 ratio County match is required in the amount of $68,081 and is included in the Juvenile Probation Department's FY2018-19 budget. A resolution by the Board of Supervisors will make it possible for approximately 1,500 families to participate in the Family Counseling Program during the next fiscal year. (C-27-18-004-2-00)
