3. Introductions • Committee Business – Chairperson • Roundtable – Possible forecast issues, Juvenile justice trends • Background – DOC, PSR, DCC (discretionary) Populations • Demand Forecast • Options • Close Custody Populations • Prior, Preliminary Forecast • Statistical Summary Next Meeting: Wednesday September 1st, 1:30 BAM Conference Room

4. Background • Close Custody Groups: • Adult Court Beds – “DOC” • Public Safety Reserve Beds – “PSR” • Discretionary Close Custody – “DCC” (DBA) • DOC and PSR: direct forecasts. • DCC forecast is for bed “demand”. • Committee defines “current demand” • Objective measure is desirable

5. Demand Forecast • April 2010 forecast • Continuation of past approach • Based on info from Referrals (Abuse?, JCP?) • Index applied to demand used for April 2009 forecast • Provide “Level of Service” indices? • Discuss options (different approach) • Lack maturity – better to wait • Availability of forecaster resource • Algorithmic / Purely Objective • “Level of Service” indices • County Resource Levels (David)

6. Demand Forecast • April 2010 Forecast • DCC bed demand of 550 in early 2009 • Index approach 2009 to 2010 and forecast • Simple index graphs (# felonies) • Reduction to around 500 • Question assumption of future demand increase

9. Close Custody – DCC, DOC, PSR

10. Close Custody – DCC, DOC, PSR

11. Forecasts – DCC, DOC, PSR Index Adjusted to Reference=550 in Early 2009 Prior DCC Forecast Preliminary DCC Forecast DOC and PSR – Essentially Unchanged

12. Demand Forecast Option One • Based on Referral, JCP, Abuse information • Indices for Serious, Moderate, Low • Examples, Number in DCC over time • Committee input on factors • What matters for “demand” • OYA or Committee justify appropriate connection to beds

13. Demand Forecast Option Two • Based on above Plus County/Community treatment availability • “ascertain relationship between youth’s risk and access to services” • Aggregate criminality in excess of available service? • OYA vs overall need? • Complex

14. Demand – Bottom Line • Absolute measure does not exist • Index measures: • Can quantify youth characteristics • Can compare to available services • Can quantify entry/stay from history • Can compare now relative to past • Interpretation of Index • Subjectivity connecting index measures to number of beds.

15. Other Forecast Issues • Include Low, Mid, High indices (if possible) • Input on factors? • Planned update to community forecast • Unlikely to change • Provide with regular forecast • Appendix or something – thoughts?
