1 SERVICE AGREEMENT
2 This Service Agreement ("Agreement") is dated March 1, 2024 and is between
3 University of Cincinnati Research Institute, an Ohio non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, whose
4 address is 51 Goodman Drive, University Hall, Suite 240, Cincinnati, OH 45221-0222
5 ("Contractor"), and the County of Fresno, a political subdivision of the State of California
6 ("County").
7 Recitals
8 A. The County, through its Probation Department (Department), has determined there is a
9 need for training, technical assistance, training, coaching and fidelity monitoring services to help
10 provide oversight of the juvenile sexual offending (JSO) treatment programming hub being
11 developed at the County's Juvenile Justice Campus (JJC) facility.
12 B. On September 30, 2020, SB 823 was signed into law, which stopped the intake of youth
13 to Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) custodial facilities on July 1, 2021. DJJ permanently closed
14 on June 30, 2023. The closure of DJJ will transfer responsibility for the custody, care, and
15 supervision of high-risk youth from the DJJ to the local county jurisdiction. As a result, the
16 County created a subcommittee of the multiagency juvenile justice coordinating council to
17 develop a plan that described the facilities, programs, placements, services, supervision and
18 reentry strategies that are needed to provide appropriate rehabilitation and supervision services
19 for the DJJ realignment target population and other probation youth ("Realignment Plan").
20 C. The Realignment Plan, required by Welfare and Institutions Code section 1995,
21 submitted to the Office of Youth and Community Restoration on January 1, 2022, and approved
22 by the Board of Supervisors on June 7, 2022, describes the sexual offending treatment
23 programming and treatment to be provided to youthful offenders by the County.
24 D. Additionally, as a result of the closure of the DJJ, the Board of State and Community
25 Corrections (BSCC) offered a grant opportunity for California counties to apply grant funding to
26 create regional hubs for high-risk youth. January 11, 2022, the BSCC executed a Youth
27 Programs and Facilities Grant (YPFG) agreement with the County, for a grant award of One
28 Million Dollars ($1,000,000), to assist with funding the County's develop and implementation of
1

March 13, 2024
1 a JSO hub. The executed grant agreement included technical assistance, training, coaching,
2 fidelity monitoring, and oversight services for the JSO programming.
3 E. The Department has determined there is a need for technical assistance training and
4 oversight services for the JSO treatment programming hub being developed at the JJC.
5 F. The Contractor is qualified and willing to provide technical assistance, training, and
6 oversight to Department staff and contractors administering JSO hub programming services
7 through Contractor's authorized subcontractor, the University of Cincinnati Center for Justice
8 and Communities (UC-CJC). Throughout this Agreement, any reference to UC-CJC also refers
9 to Contractor, and vice versa.
10 G. The Contractor, through UC-CJC, has been providing technical assistance to improve
11 the delivery of the Department's evidence-based practices since early 2019, and began
12 assisting the Department with the design and implementation of the Fresno County Juvenile
13 Justice Realignment Plan in early 2021.
14 H. The County desires to engage the Contractor to provide technical assistance, training,
15 and oversight services to Department staff and contractors administering JSO hub programming
16 to improve the delivery of evidence-based practices within the JSO hub.
17 The parties therefore agree as follows:

10 12.7 Headings. The headings and section titles in this Agreement are for convenience
11 only and are not part of this Agreement.
12 12.8 Severability. If anything in this Agreement is found by a court of competent
13 jurisdiction to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, the balance of this Agreement remains in
14 effect, and the parties shall make best efforts to replace the unlawful or unenforceable part of
15 this Agreement with lawful and enforceable terms intended to accomplish the parties' original
16 intent.
17 12.9 Nondiscrimination. During the performance of this Agreement, the Contractor shall
18 not unlawfully discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment, or recipient of
19 services, because of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, physical disability,

21 identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, military status or veteran status pursuant to
22 all applicable State of California and federal statutes and regulation.
23 12.10 No Waiver. Payment, waiver, or discharge by the County of any liability or obligation

26 enforcement by the County of any obligation on any other occasion.

12 to this Agreement and the Bond Financed Facility, Contractor is not entitled to take, and shall
13 not take, any position (also known as a "tax position") with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS")
14 that is inconsistent with being a "service provider" to the County, as a "qualified user" with
15 respect to the Bond Financed Facility, as "managed property," as all of those terms are used in
16 Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2017-13, and to that end, for example, and not
17 as a limitation, Contractor agrees that Contractor shall not, in connection with any federal
18 income tax return that it files with the IRS or any other statement or information that it provides
19 to the IRS, (a) claim ownership, or that Contractor is a lessee, of any portion of the Bond
20 Financed Facility, or (b) claim any depreciation or amortization deduction, investment tax credit,
21 or deduction for any payment as rent with respect to the Bond-Financed Facility.

25 (B) The individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the Contractor is duly
26 authorized to do so and his or her signature on this Agreement legally binds the

6 electronically scanned and transmitted (for example by PDF document) version of an
