1 Arizona Supreme Court Administrative Office of the Courts ________________________________________________________________ ADDENDUM FUNDING AGREEMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING (as applicable): PROBATION SUCCESS INCENTIVE _________________________________________________________________ Fiscal Year 2022 The Arizona Supreme Court, Administrative Office of the Courts, (“AOC”), and the SUPERIOR COURT in MARICOPA COUNTY (“Grantee”) agree to add this Addendum to the Fiscal Year 2022 Funding Agreement to implement the Probation Success Incentive Payments and Grants provided in A.R.S. § 12-270. PROBATION SUCCESS INCENTIVE a. Management of allocation of Incentive Payment. AOC shall calculate a statewide probation success incentive payment in accordance with A.R.S. § 12- 270 that equals the number of probationers successfully prevented from entering prison statewide, compared to the statewide historical baseline and multiplied by twenty-five percent of the marginal cost of incarceration. AOC shall allocate county probation success incentive payments to each county for distribution to the county's adult probation department to implement the programs prescribed. b. Management of allocation of Incentive Grant. In accordance with A.R.S. § 12- 270, a board that includes the chief probation officer from each county shall determine the distribution of statewide probation success incentive grant monies. The Committee on Probation, which is comprised of the chief probation officers from each county, will fulfill this function. A county's chief probation officer must be recused in a vote that may award a grant to that chief probation officer's probation department. The county and statewide probation success incentive payments allocated pursuant to this section shall be used to supplement, not supplant, any other state or county appropriation for the adult probation department. The Grantee agrees to manage the fund allocation pursuant to ARS 12-270. c. Utilization of Funds. As provided in A.R.S. § 12-270(B), each county shall use its probation success incentive payment and any monies received from a statewide probation success incentive grant to improve supervision and rehabilitative services for probationers, including any of the following: 1. Implementing and expanding evidence-based practices for risk and needs assessments for individualized programming. 2. Implementing and expanding intermediate sanctions, including mandatory community restitution, home detention, day reporting, restorative justice programs and work furlough programs. 3. Expanding the availability of evidence-based practices for rehabilitation programs, including drug and alcohol treatment, mental health treatment, anger management, cognitive behavior programs and job training and employment services. 4. Recognizing and rewarding probation officers in adult probation departments whose work has advanced the implementation of evidence-based practices or who have contributed to the probation department's recidivism reduction efforts. 5. Paying for continuing education and training that focuses on evidence-based 2 practices for probation officers or probation staff, or both. 6. Evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitation and supervision programs and ensuring program fidelity. d. Other Requirements. As provided in A.R.S. § 12-270, the county and statewide probation success incentive payments allocated shall be used to supplement, not supplant, any other state or county appropriation for the adult probation department. For any county or statewide probation success incentive payments allocated or grants awarded to a county, the county shall distribute the allocated monies to its adult probation department, which must use the monies for improving probation services and recidivism reduction funding activities prescribed above. In the county's discretion, the county may retain up to fifteen percent of the allocated monies for administrative and data collection purposes. In any fiscal year in which a county receives incentive payments or grants, the monies shall be made available to the county's adult probation department to implement probation programming within sixty days after the allocation of those monies. The county adult probation department shall maintain a complete and accurate accounting of all monies received. e. Outcome Measures. As provided in A.R.S. § 12-270(K), each adult probation department shall define and track specific outcome-based measures, including all of the following: 1. The percentage of probationers who are supervised in accordance with evidence-based practices. 2. The specific supervision policies, procedures, programs and practices that were eliminated. 3. The percentage of probationers who successfully complete the period of supervision. 4. The number of probation absconders who are located each year and the disposition of these cases. 5. The amount of monies received by each adult probation department. On or before December 31, 2022 and annually thereafter, each adult probation department that receives incentive payments or grants pursuant to this section shall submit a written report to AOC and the county board of supervisors that accounts for incentive payments received and grants awarded and that evaluates the effectiveness of the program.
