(a) Counties with overcrowded juvenile facilities shall not be eligible to receive funds to construct, reconstruct, remodel, or replace juvenile facilities unless they have adopted a plan to correct overcrowded conditions within their facilities which includes the use of alternatives to detention. The corrective action plan shall provide for the use of five or more methods or procedures to minimize the number of minors detained and shall be approved by the board of supervisors during or subsequent to a public hearing.
(b) To be eligible for funding under this chapter, the county shall enter into a contract with the Department of the Youth Authority and begin construction or renovation work within six years of the operative date of the regulations that implement this chapter. If a county fails to meet this requirement, any allocations or awards to that county under this chapter shall be deemed void and any moneys allocated or awarded to that county shall revert to the Department of the Youth Authority for reallocation to another county as provided by Section 4497.32. The department may waive this requirement if it determines that there are unavoidable delays in starting construction.
(c) To be eligible for funding for juvenile facilities under the County Correctional Facility Capital Expenditure Bond Act of 1986, the county shall enter into a contract with the Department of the Youth Authority and begin construction or renovation work by July 31, 1991. If a county fails to meet this requirement, all allocations or awards that have been made to that county under that act shall be deemed void and any moneys allocated or awarded to that county shall revert to the Department of the Youth Authority and are reappropriated for reallocation as provided by Section 4497.32. The department may waive this requirement if it determines that there are unavoidable delays in starting construction.
