Complete description of action requested:
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 FY2016-17 is $360,249 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 $69,236 and is included in the Juvenile
Probation Department's FY2017-18 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.
Attached for signature: Arizona Supreme Court (AOC/JJSD) FY2017-18 Family Counseling Board
Resolution.

Subject: FY 2018 Family Counseling Fund
Enclosed are the Family Counseling Allocation Schedule, Court Certification Form and
Board of Supervisor's Resolution for FY 2017-2018. The Board of Supervisor's
Resolution and Court Certification Form must be completed and returned to the Supreme
Court asap and no later than July 1, 2017.
The Family Counseling allocation is continuing to be funded at the reduced amount of
$500,000 by the Legislature again this year. The AOC is able to restore that lost revenue
with non-family counseling dollars to bring the total allocation to $650,400.
Consequently the 25% county match amount has been figured on the $500,000 allocation
which is why it is much less than in previous years. Your finance staff are familiar with
this.
Please keep copies for your records. JJSD will acknowledge your submitted Court
Certification and BOS Resolution forms by sending you a confirmation e-mail.
Monitoring of this fund will continue as it has in the past with primary oversight for
FYI 8 being done by TC Colla.
Please return the Board Resolution and Court Certification documents to the attention of
TC Calla at the address on the form.
If you have any questions you can call me at (602) 452-3451 or TC at (602) 452-3573.
Thanks for all your help on this.
