Trinity County Municipal Code Ch. 13.12 Trinity Mountain Camp Ordinance

This chapter shall be known as the Trinity Mountain Camp Ordinance.

(Ord. No. 1290, § 1, 6-21-05)

A. Welfare and Institutions Code section 881 allows any county, by ordinance, to establish juvenile camps within the county to which juvenile wards of the court, as described in Section 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, may be committed.

B. Trinity County has a juvenile hall located in the town of Weaverville, California, managed and operated by the Trinity County probation department, for the purpose of housing juvenile wards committed thereto, as persons fitting the description in Welfare and Institutions Code Section 602.

C. The juvenile hall has available six beds to be designated as juvenile camp beds pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code Section 881. The board of supervisors of the county of Trinity hereby find that it is in the best interest of the juvenile wards subject to commitment to the juvenile hall, and the county of Trinity, that these beds be made available for a juvenile camp, to allow additional options for commitment to the juvenile hall for wards described in Welfare and Institutions code Section 602.

(Ord. No. 1290, § 1, 6-21-05)

There is established a juvenile camp at the juvenile hall to be known as Trinity Mountain Camp, consisting of six beds as designated by the probation department's chief probation officer. A separate dorm at the juvenile hall shall be designated as Trinity Mountain Camp, consisting of four beds, with two additional beds to be located outside of the camp dorm, but within the confines of the juvenile hall, so that juveniles of both genders may be committed to the juvenile camp.

(Ord. No. 1290, § 1, 6-21-05)

Where any ward proves to be unfit to remain in the juvenile camp facility, in the opinion of the chief probation officer, then the chief probation officer for Trinity County shall recommend consideration for other commitment to the presiding judge of Trinity County Superior Court, or to the probation department of the county that placed the ward, if the ward was committed by another county.

(Ord. No. 1290, § 1, 6-21-05)

Complete operation and authority for the administration of Trinity Mountain Camp shall be vested in the county of Trinity.
