WHEREAS, the Intergovernmental Agreement ("IGA") by and between the Participating Members was entered in April 2000; and
WHEREAS, the Participating Members agree that youth involved in the abuse of marijuana adversely affect the public safety, health and welfare of all Participating Members of the Intergovernmental Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the parties shall, in accordance with applicable law, share information necessary with the goal of ensuring that the courts refer only first-time offenders to the intervention program; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the IGA for the purpose of providing for the establishment of an area-wide intervention program to deal in a coordinated manner with the problems of youth marijuana abuse; and
WHEREAS, the parties to this IGA recognized the importance of parental involvement in combating the problems of youth marijuana abuse and believe it must be a priority to encourage parental participation in intervention programs offered to youth.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED by and between each of the parties as follows: Paragraph 1. of the IGA shall be repealed and re-enacted to read as follows:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this IGA is to create an entity that will be responsible for selecting and overseeing a youth intervention program provider(s) ("Provider") who shall provide education, intervention and training to all first-time youth offenders either apprehended by law enforcement officers, processed through municipal or county courts, referred by schools, referred by social service agencies or referred by their families. The Provider shall offer services addressing youth and family issues of alcohol use and shall be prepared to expand these services to address other youth substance abuse and crime issues. Additionally, all first time youth offenders either apprehended by law enforcement officers, processed through municipal or county courts, referred by schools, referred by social service agencies, or referred by their families for marijuana abuse or possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana, pursuant to C.R.S. §18-18-406 and/or possession of drug paraphernalia, as defined in C.R.S. §18-18-426, as currently existing or hereafter amended, or similar municipal ordinance violations, may be eligible to participate in the First Judicial Youth Alcohol Intervention Program.
