                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

DETERMINATION OF PAYMENT (§ 16.1-309.7)

A. The Commonwealth shall provide financial assistance to localities whose plans
have been approved pursuant to subsection D of § 16.1-309.3 in quarterly
payments based on the annual calculated costs which shall be determined as
follows:

   1. For community diversion services, one-half of the calculated costs as
   determined by the following factors: (i) the statewide daily average costs for
   predispositional nonresidential services and (ii) the total number of children
   in need of services and children in need of supervision complaints diverted at
   intake by the locality in the previous year and the total number of children
   who have been screened for needing community diversion or community-based
   services using an evidence-based assessment protocol.

   2. For predispositional community-based services, three-quarters of the
   calculated costs as determined by the following factors: (i) the statewide
   daily average cost evenly divided for predispositional community-based
   residential and nonresidential services and (ii) the number of arrests of
   juveniles based on the locality&#8217;s most recent year available Uniform
   Crime Reports for (a) one-third of all Part 1 crimes against property, (b)
   one-third of all drug offenses and (c) all remaining Part 2 arrests.

   3. For postdispositional community-based services for adjudicated juveniles,
   one-half of the calculated costs as determined by the following factors: (i)
   the statewide average daily costs for postdispositional community-based
   nonresidential services and (ii) the locality&#8217;s total number of
   juveniles, who, in the previous year, were adjudicated delinquent for the
   first time.

   4. For postdispositional community-based services for juveniles adjudicated
   delinquent for a second or subsequent offense, one-half of the calculated
   costs as determined by the following factors: (i) the statewide average daily
   costs evenly divided for postdispositional community-based residential and
   nonresidential services and (ii) the locality&#8217;s total number of court
   dispositions which, in the previous year, adjudicated juveniles as (a)
   delinquent for a second or subsequent offense, (b) children in need of
   services, or (c) children in need of supervision, less those juveniles
   receiving services under the provisions of &#xA7;&#xA7; 16.1-285.1 and
   16.1-286.

B. Any moneys distributed by the Commonwealth under this article which are
unexpended at the end of each fiscal year within a biennium shall be retained by
the county, city or combination thereof and subsequently expended for operating
expenses of Juvenile Community Crime Control Act programs. Any surplus funds
remaining at the end of a biennium shall be returned to the state treasury.
