Common use of Compliance Rating Clause in Contracts

Compliance Rating. Beginning Compliance/ Decision of Compliance Level to Be Determined Discussion: The JCMSC has been working with the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI) and this will entail a review of at least detention procedures and utilization of services. Likewise, the Summons Program has been used in an effort to avoid secure detention. Time is needed to allow these programs to take hold and then data will have to be evaluated as to whether DMC in secure detention has been reduced. I also believe the committee involving the Points of Contact and others should provide information that could lead to the need to review policies and procedures at other stages in addition to secure detention; thus, the justification for withholding a decision of compliance as pertains to other points or stages in the system . Efforts are still needed to assess WHY minority youth are less likely to be involved in diversion programs and accordingly, what can be done to achieve a reduction. Similar points pertain to Transfer to adult court. Expectations: An assessment of compliance will be based on the efforts by JCSMC to meet the above stated provisions that includes but is not limited to efforts toward complying with the JDAI initiative. Data on additional points of contact – court referral, diversion, petition, findings of delinquency, probation, placement in secure confinement and transfer to adult court- need to be collected at least monthly, discussed at least monthly among the points of contact, and plans and strategies developed as to how to address if DMC exists. Documentation of this occurring needs to be provided in writing to the Equal Protection Monitor by June 17, 2013. Failure to adhere to these expectations could constitute grounds for non-compliance.
