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.
