4. Contract by/between the Weber County Attorney's Office & the Utah Attorney General's Office to purchase Children's Justice Center Service

Because this item is the same as item 5 below, it was struck off the agenda.

5. Agreement by/between Utah Attorney General's Office & Weber County through Weber County's Office for funding of the Weber/Morgan Children's Justice Center - Contract C2005-140

Mark DeCaria, County Attorney, stated that the County Attorney's Office oversees the Children's Justice Center (CJC). The CJC is essentially funded by the State and this year's allotted amount is $248,724, which includes some rollover from last year. Mr. DeCaria said that the contract was the same as in past years. Commissioner Dearden expressed appreciation for what the AG's Office did for the CJC, however, he felt that the AG's Office was exercising too much control over the CJC and dictating what the county could do, when the AG's Office simply passed the funds on to the CJC. He would prefer the CJC to be placed under the CCJJ, Criminal Justice, etc., and believed that a legislative or county audit would be more appropriate. Mr. DeCaria said that the AG's Office lobbied the legislature for continuing funding for the CJCs across the State and developed a mission for CJCs to make sure they were managing their case loads in a uniform fashion and spending the funds appropriately. Mr. DeCaria said that he would have no objection in placing the CJC under a different agency for some of the reasons referred to by Commissioner Dearden as well as other CJCs across the State.

Curtis Christensen, County Engineer, stated that a few years ago the county had gotten into the waste water collection business. One concern that had been initially raised was the ability to bill users of the service. A billing system was set up, however, enforcement can sometimes become difficult. Mr. Christensen had contacted the Taylor-West Weber Water District to help with this concern and they have agreed to enter into an agreement with the county to shut off water service if the user does not pay the bill. The county will go through a process to notify the user in this case.
