County renews juvenile justice program contracts to align with state funding
Summary
Torrance County extended professional services contracts for Juvenile Justice program coordinators and providers, increasing several contract maxima to $60,000 to match state CYP funding allocations; commissioners approved the renewals unanimously.
County Manager Jordan Barela recommended one‑year extensions for several professional services contracts that provide juvenile justice programming in Torrance County. The extensions preserve current terms while increasing maximum annual compensation on several contracts to fully utilize available state CYP funding.
Barela said the county initially distributed approximately $180,000 in CYP funding across three contractors; contract maxima were increased to $60,000 each so the total $180,000 is fully allocated. The board approved extensions for Rebecca Armstrong, Jessica Love, Serena Ortiz and Robert Chavez; roll call votes were Schwebach — Yes, McCall — Yes, Jaramillo — Yes.
Staff emphasized that Armstrong will continue as program coordinator supervising other contractors and that service delivery in schools will continue under the established structure.
