The Honorable Mayor and Members of Council

Appropriation and Transfer of Funds as Corrective Actions for Deficit in
Comprehensive Services Act Fund and Juvenile Probation Program
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2002
Background:
Comprehensive Services Act
The City is continuing to experience fiscal shortfalls in the Comprehensive Services Act
("CSA") Fund, which the state created in 1993 to consolidate several funding streams to better
provide services to emotionally troubled youth. There are four factors creating this continual
deficit:
1. A rising demand for expensive residential placements of Court Services
cases, which has been difficult to predict. These cases often involve severe
criminal, sexual, and family behavioral problems; in these types of cases
therapeutic residential care is often ordered by the Juvenile Court. Such care
is quite expensive (typical annual cost of $104,000).
2. The State's underfunding for these types of cases (non-mandated), evident
from six consecutive years of level state appropriations;
3. A lack of alternative services available on the continuum of care, and
4. Increases in local foster care cases in the past two years, which often require
local funding from the local dedicated reserve.
As a result, the City's CSA Special Revenue Fund is projected to have a shortfall of $1.45
million for FY 2001-02. As permitted by the Operating Budget, funds totaling $500,000 have
already been transferred from the Reserve for Contingencies, CSA and Juvenile Probation (a
dedicated reserve to address these funding issues), to pay incurred expenses through April,
2002.
Juvenile Probation
The City is also continuing to experience fiscal shortfalls in the Court Service Unit (Juvenile
Probation), which funds services different from the CSA. These are court-ordered services
for juveniles under supervision of the Court Service Unit that are awaiting trial and for some
juveniles found guilty of criminal or non-criminal status offenses (e.g. truancy, curfew violation).
These services include secure, non-secure outreach detention and group home services for
juveniles awaiting trial and group home services after they are found guilty and sentenced by
the Court.
The Court controls usage of these services, and may order a child placed into any of these
programs with the cost of the service being borne by the locality. There is a constant struggle
to strike a balance between budgetary constraints and the Court's primary goal of maintaining
a safe community. Rate increases for these services have occurred and are anticipated to
continue. Predicting the amount of usage has been difficult forthe Court Service Unit. Secure
detention is funded completely by the locality, whereas non-secure detention, outreach
detention, and post-dispositional (after sentencing) programs are funded partly through the
Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act and a local maintenance of effort match.
In past fiscal years, once local match funds and grant funds are exhausted, the City has
provided funding in excess of the required local match to continue services to juveniles. For
example, in FY 2000-01, the City spent $1,363,557, or $701,052 in excess of the local match
requirement (see Attachment 1).
Over the past six years, usage of non-secure and outreach detention and post-dispositional
(after sentencing) services have steadily increased (see Attachment 1). For FY 2001-02,
overall usage has increased compared with FY 2000-01. Admissions grew 9.6%; days
increased 4.1%; cos.ts for commission services increased over 28%. As a result, Juvenile
Probation is requesting $665,000 in additional appropriations to cover the increased cost of
non-secure and outreach detention and post-dispositional services for juveniles under the
supervision of the Court.
Considerations: In an attempt to mitigate a portion of the CSA shortfall, staff have continued
to pursue the following actions:
· Court-ordered residential placement being issued after the completion of the evaluation
process.
· City staff engaging delegates and staff from other localities in a dialogue to raise their
awareness of the severity of increasing funding for non-mandated cases.
Staff periodically meeting with service providers to encourage the development of a
supply of alternatives to expensive residential care. The City's leverage is essentially
non existent, and the profit motive for residential care greatly 'exceeds that of lower
levels of care.
Due to a mid-year change in the eligibility guidelines, classifying therapeutic foster care
cases under the Title IV-E program. This permits the City to supplant federal for local
monies, with a savings of $347,000.
Classifying non-mandated mental health cases as mandated School cases. Estimated
annualized savings is $54,000.
Council approving a new position in FY 2002 to begin a non-custodial foster care intake
process. This, in effect, shifts the 100% local match requirement for these cases to
36%, which results in a projected savings of approximately $502,674 once all caseload
requirements are completed and funds approved (which could take up to eighteen
months from the start-up phase of this process). The hiring process for this position
has taken longer than anticipated; however, an applicant was selected in March for this
program and it is anticipated that the City will save $206,000 in the current fiscal year.
Therefore, based on future reclassificatiOns of eleven of fourteen juvenile residential
placements, substantial savings are projected to be realized in Fiscal Year 2003 and
beyond.
Alternatives:
Development of a waiting list for CSA services for non-mandated children after expenditures
reach the protected level (maximum funding level set by the State, which is $1,073,425). On
March 26, a letter was sentfmm the City Manager's Office to the Chief Judge of the Juvenile
and Domestic Relations Court which stated that, in light of the current economy, newly referred
children will be placed on a waiting list for funding. However, this does not address the current
CSA shortfall.
Recommendations: Adopt proposed ordinance. Ordinance appropriates $949,000 to
address the CSA shortfall ($500,000 from fund balance in the CSA Special Revenue Fund,
which deletes the fund balance, and $449,000 from fund balance in the General Fund). The
ordinance also makes $665,000 available to address the Juvenile Probation shortfall;
$151,000 of fund balance would be appropriated from the General Fund, $435,000 would be
transferred from the Reserve for Contingencies, CSA and Juvenile Probation, and $79,000
would be transferred from the General Fund, Regular Reserve for Contingencies.

Policy Report
Comprehensive Services Act/Juvenile Probation
The purpose of this report is to inform City Council of the funding shortfalls for FY 2001-02
of approximately $1,450,000 in the Comprehensive Services Act Fund and $665,000 in the
Juvenile Probation Program and to provide an update and history of the CSA and Juvenile
Probation Programs. These overages are due to the continuing increased cost of CSA
non-mandated cases and non-secure and outreach detention and post-dispositional
services for juveniles under the supervision of the Court.
Brief Background of CSA:
Establishment: The Comprehensive Services Act of 1993 consolidated several different
categorical funding streams from the School Board, Department of Juvenile Probation, and
the Department of Social Services into a single pool of funding.
Services: CSA pool funds are used to provide: (1) mandated services for foster care
(residential care, foster care prevention, and for foster care education); and (2)
non-mandated services to Court Services and Mental Health (residential and
non-residential services for pre/post dispositional cases, residential group homes services,
and intensive in-home counseling services). One goal of establishing the CSA was to
cap/reduce state costs. It is important to note that prior to the establishment of the CSA,
the mandated funding streams were: (a) managed by the state-- that is, the funds were not
appropriated to the locality; rather, the locality accessed the state pool; and (b) these funds
were sum sufficient appropriations within the state budget, which meant that demand for
services generated a supply of funds from the state. After the creation of the CSA,
funding for mandated services changed from fully, sum sufficient to a reduced form in
which the City has a Shared responsibility for cost overages.
Administration: The CSA pool of funds is, by state law, managed by the Community Policy
and Management Team (CPMT), which is comprised of the local agency directors for the
following agencies: the Department of Social Services; Department of Public Health;
Lawrence Spencer - Revised CSA Juv Prob Policy Report May 28.wpd
Page 2 1
Community Services Board (MH/MR/SA); Department of Juvenile Probation; and the
Department of Education. Also included on the team are two members appointed by the
City Manager, a parent representative, and a private provider of youth and/or family
services. To properly budget and manage these funds, the City established the CSA
Special'Revenue Fund.
Fundinq: In terms of funding CSA services, the State has historically provided
approximately 64% of the cost while Virginia Beach has been responsible for
approximately 36%. Cost overages in mandated services are eligible for a supplemental
state reimbursement at the aforementioned match rates. Overages in non-mandated
services, however, are not eligible for additional reimbursement. The state establishes a
protected level of funding ($1,073,425) for these services, expenditures above which are
the sole responsibility of the locality. Localities with surplus mandated funds can apply
(transfer) these funds to non-mandated. Once a locality applies mandated funding to
non-mandated programs, it cannot seek a supplemental reimbursement for overages in
mandated funding.
Brief Background of Juvenile Probation:
Establishment: The Department of Juvenile Probation (also known as the Court Service
Unit) is an agency of the state's Department of Juvenile Justice.
Services: Specifically, pre-dispositional (before sentencing) services involve provision of
secure detention by the City of Chesapeake's 100-bed Tidewater Detention Home,
non-secure detention/shelter care at Tidewater Regional Group Home Commission
(TRGHC)'s Crisis Intervention Home and Salem House, and outreach detention through
TRGHC's Challenge Outreach and Electronic Home Monitoring Programs.
Post-dispositional (after sentencing) services are provided by TRGHC through residential
and non-residential services.
FundinR: State funding is received through the Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control
Act (VJCCCA) to purchase pre-dispositional (before sentencing) non-secure and outreach
detention and post-dispositional (after sentencing) services for juveniles under the
supervision of the Court. These services are purchased from TRGHC. Under the
VJCCCA, the Group Home receives the grant ($2,471,013 annually from FY 1998-99
through FY 2001-02)4 for the aforementioned services. VJCCCA funds may not be used
for secure detention services. As part of the program, Virginia Beach is required to provide
an annual local Maintenance of Effort of $662,505. The City's portion of expenditures is
appropriated in the General Fund.
~VJCCCA funds will be reduced by 51%, or $1.26 million in FY 2002-03, further compounding
the issue of insufficient resources to meet current needs.
Lawrence Spencer - Revised CSA Juv Prob Policy Report May 28.wpd Page 3 I
In a six-year period, from FY 1995-96 through FY 2001-02, the usage and cost for pre-and
post-dispositional services rose significantly from 45,500 days with total city cost of $1.12
million, .to 76,800 days with total city cost of $3.82 million and VJCCCA funding of $2.47
million. 'Historically, actual expenditures for services exceed original appropriations and
Juvenile Probation must approach City Council for supplemental appropriations.
Trends/Driving Forces:
This section highlights a significant trend in terms of demand for services as well as sheds
light on changes in funding relationship (among the State, Federal, and City) and the
subsequent impact on the City.
Trend: The significant trend concerning the CSA budget is the rising number of
expensive, non-mandated court cases. The Court Services' cases involve the triad of
criminal, sexual, and family behavioral problems; the typical prescription for these types of
cases is therapeutic residential care, which is quite expensive, with monthly costs ranging
from $3,200 to $11,700. The average monthly cost is approximately $8,700, which
~nnualized is $104,400 per case.

It should be noted that the Juvenile Court has very few appropriate alternatives to
residential care for many of these cases. Many available alternatives of service, referred to
as step-downs, such as in home counseling, out-patient services, and Group Homes are
not suitable for the serious nature of many of these offenses, or do not provide a requisite
level of therapeutic care. Possible appropriate alternatives such as secure facilities with a
lower level of care are still not available in the market place in this area, primarily due to a
lack of profitability.
Fundinq: Two notable issues - A funding reduction in mandated services, and the continual
under funding of non-mandated services.
Lawrence Spencer - Revised CSA Juv Prob Policy Report May 28.wpd
Page 4 J
First, the General Assembly drastically reduced, in lieu of Medicaid funds, its CSA
appropriation to localities. Because Medicaid savings were anticipated to benefit large
Iocalitie. s in an asymmetric fashion, these same localities such as Virginia Beach received a
greater'proportional reduction in appropriations. At the inception of each of the last two
fiscal years, the clear consensus among City staff was that the state's initial allocation was
inadequate (without the Medicaid funds) and, thus, the City would have to seek a
supplemental appropriation for certain overages in mandated services. The City is not the
only locality with this dilemma.
Last year, approximately 96% of all localities had to request a supplemental appropriation?
A similar percentage of localities is expected this year as well. It should be noted, though,
that if the Medicaid reimbursement was never proposed, the City would have been
responsible for the same level of funding.
The other funding concern is regarding the state's habitual under funding in non-mandated
services. The state sets a protected level of expenditures for Court Services and Mental
Health cases. The graph below illustrates the history of CSA historical appropriations, set
by the state, and expenditures incurred by the City for non-mandated services.

Major Factors Affecting Funding:
CSA
There are four major driving forces affecting CSA: (1) A rising demand for residential
placement of Court Services cases, which have been difficult to predict; (2) The State's
under funding for these types of cases (non-mandated), which is evident by six consecutive
years of level state appropriations; (3) The Juvenile Court has established a legal
precedent of compelling residential placements regardless of whether the City has
available funding; although residential care may be the most appropriate level of care for
these specific cases, the continuation of this precedent could hinder any future flexibility for
cases in which creative solutions may be possible; and (4) There are often no intermediate
alternatives (step downs) available on the continuum of care.
Juvenile Probation
Similar forces affect Juvenile Probation: (1) an unpredictable demand for detention
services, (2) Inadequate funding by the State's VJCCCA grant, (3) Juvenile and Domestic
Relations Court continues to compel detention placement regardless of whether the City
has available funding, and (4) rising and uncontrollable costs of services without
corresponding increases in funding. The costs for services are dictated by the service
providers and the City has very little discretion in controlling the cost. Service providers
face little competition and are free to set rates at their discretion.
Continual Staff Actions:
* Any court-ordered residential placement is issued after the completion of the
evaluation process. The Chair of the CPMT has issued a letter to the Chief Judge,
Juvenile and DomestiC Relations Court outlining the fiscal situation under which the
City is operating and has encouraged a judicious use of court compelled residential
placements via a waiting list.
Staff continually meeting with its legislative delegation regarding the City's financial
concerns.
Sfaff have periodically met with service providers to encourage the development of a
supply of market place alternatives to expensive residential care. The City's
Lawrence Spencer - Revised CSA Juv Prob Policy Report May 28.wpd
Page 6 I
leverage is really non existent, and the profit motive for residential care greatly
exceeds that of lower levels of care.
Classification of nonmandated Mental Health cases as mandated School cases.
Estimated annual savings - $54,000.
Due to a mid-year change in the eligibility guidelines, localities are now permitted to
classify therapeutic foster care cases under the Title IV-E program. This permits the
City to supplant federal for local monies with a savings of $347,000.
New Position, Court Services Unit - Council approved a new position in FY 2002 to
begin a Non-Custodial Foster Care Intake process. This, in effect, will shift the
100% local match requirements for these cases to 36% or a projected .annual
savings of approximately $520,674 once all caseload requirements are completed
and funds approved. Anticipated savings for FY 2001 -02 total $206,000.
.Recommendations:
Based on the preceding discussion, the City has few options regarding cost overages in
the CSA Special Revenue Fund and the Juvenile Probation Program. These deficits are
due to rising caseloads and increased demand for expensive residential treatments, the
lack of alternative care options, and insufficient state funding.
(1) Continue service delivery and transfer appropriations from other City resources to cover
the FY 2002 deficits for the CSA and Juvenile Probation Programs as outlined in the June
4, 2002 agenda request and ordinance.
2) Encourage utilization of a waiting list for services for nonmandated children once
expenditures reach the protected level (maximum funding level set by the State of
$1,073,425.
(3) Continue efforts to encourage the state to adequately fund CSA and Juvenile
Probation programs and discontinue the practice of transferring costs to the localities.
(4) Maximize savings potential in future years through the reclassification of appropriate
non-custodial foster care cases from non-mandated to mandated.
An ordinance recommending this action is scheduled for City Council approval for June 4,
2002.

Appropriation of Revenue for the MH/MR/SA Department
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2002
Background'
Over the course of the current fiscal year, the City's MH/MPJSA Department has received
additional one-time State and on-going federal funds that have not yet been appropriated. The
one-time State funds involve no ongoing expenses, and there are no FTE's associated with
either funding source.
Considerations:
This additional funding is not included in the Department's FY 2001-02 Operating budget and
thus has not been appropriated. No additional City funds are required.
Public Information:
Initiatives being funded with the additional revenue have been discussed at meetings open to
the public, and have been approved by the Community Services Board. Public information will
be provided through the normal City Council agenda process.
Alternatives:
These additional funds will allow the Department to meet pressing service needs. Without this
funding the services would need to be provided through current appropriations, which are
already designated for other services.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that City Council approve the following:
Appropriation of $26,524 in one-time State and federal revenue to fund Substance
Abuse/HIV Prevention Projects.
Appropriation of $16,500 in one-time State revenue to fund technology enhancements
for financial and data reporting and for video teleconferencing to support discharge
planning activities with the State.
Appropriation of $28,097 in Federal PATH Grant Funds to provide support services for
the homeless.

Transfer of Appropriations Within the MH/MR/SA Department
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2002
Background:
The MH/MR/SA Department has rented space in Pembroke Office Park for many years. The
space is in need of painting, reconfiguration, and carpeting since treatment space and waiting
rooms have not been refurbished in more than seven years. Some public areas have not been
painted in more than ten years, and carpet has deteriorated to the point that duct tape is being
used to hold the carpet together.
The estimated cost of this refurbishing is $400,000, of which the landlord will pay $50,000. The
remaining $350,000 needed for the project is available within the Department's current FY
2001-02 budget, with $150,000 available in operating accounts, and $200,000 in unused
personnel funds that will need to be transferred to proper operating accounts.
Considerations:
All funding provided by the Department for the maintenance work is from Medicaid fees and
does not diminish the amount to be returned to the General Fund as a result of the hiring
freeze and the 2% expenditure reduction required during FY 2001-02. The cost estimate for
the project has been reviewed by the Public Works Department and has been determined to
be reasonable and appropriate.
Public Information:
The transfer of the funds within the Department's budget has been approved at the May 23,
2002 meeting of the Community Services Board. Public information will be provided through
the normal City Council agenda process.
Alternatives:
If the maintenance is not done, the appearance of the offices will deteriorate further.
Recommendations:
It is recommended that City Council approve the attached ordinance that transfers $200,000
within the MH/MR/SA Department. This funding will be combined with the $150,000 already
available in appropriate accounts to perform the needed work.

Replacement of Waste Collection Vehicle
MEETING DATE: June 4, 2002
Background:
On April 16, 2002, an automated waste collection vehicle was destroyed in an accident. The
Department of General Services/Automotive Services Division has inspected the vehicle and
determined that it is not feasible to attempt to repair it. Currently, waste collection services are
being provided by a back-up vehicle which is a 1995 model vehicle that should have already
been replaced.
Considerations:
This vehicle needs to be replaced to meet the citizens' waste collection service demands
requested from the Department of Public Works. The estimated cost of the replacement
vehicle is $142,000. There are sufficient funds available within the FY 2001-02 operating
budget of Public Works' Waste Management Division to transfer for this purpose.
Alternatives:
Not replacing the vehicle will cause increased operating expenditures on the older model
vehicle now being used, increased downtime, and delays in providing service. A second
option could be to swap out this vehicle for one that was approved and funded for replacement
in the FY 2002-03 operating budget, and delay replacement of an existing vehicle. However,
this alternative is not recommended, since it could result in increased operating, maintenance
and repair costs for the vehicle that is retained beyond its recommended useful life.
Recommendations:
Approval of ordinance to transfer $142,000 within the Public Works operating budget to
replace the automated refuse collection vehicle.
