PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE -
SPECIAL MEETING 4.
Meeting Date:09/30/2019
Subject:Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council Applicants for Nonprofit
Community Based Organizations Seats
Submitted For: David Twa, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: 2019-13
Referral Name: JJCC Nonprofit Community Based Organizations Seats
Presenter: L. DeLaney Contact: Lara DeLaney, (925)
335-1097
Referral History:
On February 13, 2018, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Public Protection Committee
(PPC) a review of the production of the County's Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan. The plan is
due to the state on May 1 of each year, as a condition of Contra Costa’s annual funding through
the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) and Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG).
At the April 2018 meeting of the PPC, staff was directed to return at a future meeting date with
information regarding the Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC) and the Delinquency Prevention
Commission (DPC), and at the September 10, 2018, meeting of the PPC staff presented a
summary of the JJC, the DPC and the JJCC.
Also, at this September 2018 meeting staff was directed to return at the October 2018 meeting
with the steps needed to consolidate the delinquency prevention functions of the DPC and JJCC.
Staff was also directed to return with information on the membership of the JJCC to allow the
Committee to better assess the need for additional seats.
Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council Membership
At its October 1, 2018, meeting staff informed the PPC that Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC)
§ 749.22 establishes the minimum membership of the JJCC. Per WIC § 749.22, the JJCC "shall,
at a minimum, include the chief probation officer, as chair, and one representative each from the
district attorney's office, the public defender's office, the sheriff's department, the board of
supervisors, the department of social services, the department of mental health, a
community-based drug and alcohol program, a city police department, the county office of
education or a school district, and an at-large community representative. In order to carry out its
duties pursuant to this section, a coordinating council shall also include representatives from
nonprofit community-based organizations providing services to minors."
The PPC then directed staff to prepare an action of the Board of Supervisors (BOS) to combinePage 8 of 80
The PPC then directed staff to prepare an action of the Board of Supervisors (BOS) to combine
the functions of the DPC and the JJCC, and add to the statutory membership of the JJCC to
thereby collectively include:
Chief Probation Officer,
District Attorney's Office representative,
Public Defender's Office representative,
Sheriff's Office representative,
Board of Supervisors representative,
Employment and Human Services Department representative,
Behavior Health representative,
County Alcohol and Drugs representative,
City Police Department Representative,
County Office of Education or a school district representative,
County Public Health representative, and
Eight community-based seats, including a minimum of two representing nonprofit
community-based organizations and two youth-aged community representatives (14-21
years old).
At its December 4 and December 18, 2018, meetings, the Board of Supervisors, by Ordinance
2018-30 dissolved the Delinquency Prevention Commission, and by Resolution 2018/597 added
seats and duties to the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council thereby increasing its size to 19
members by newly adding one (1) representative from the County Public Health Department;
three (3) additional at-large community representatives; and two (2) at-large youth
representatives. With the dissolution of the DPC, the reconfigured JJCC assumed the obligations
and duties previously assigned to the DPC.
The matter was then referred back to the PPC where it was further considered by the Committee
on March 11, 2019, to accept a report on the County's JJCPA-YOBG Consolidated Annual Plan,
and where staff was given the direction to develop a recruitment process for the now vacant
at-large seats that were newly created by the BOS.
The PPC then determined to proceed with an 8-week recruitment and selection process for the
vacant seats using this timeline:
April 1: Issue Press Release advertising vacant seats
May 24: Application Deadline
June 3: PPC Meeting Interviews
June 18: Board of Supervisors consideration of PPC nominees
The Office of Reentry and Justice (ORJ) issued a Press Release and distributed it both through the
Office of Communications and Media and the ORJ’s email networks.
At the June 3, 2019, PPC meeting, public interviews were conducted with the 21 applicants
attending the meeting either in person or via teleconference. After the interviews, the PPC
members recommended the following six (6) individuals be appointed to the JJCC by the Board
of Supervisors:
Page 9 of 80
First Name Last Name District City Designation
Jonathan Bean 3 Antioch
At-Large Community Representative
LeDamien Flowers 1 Richmond At-Large Community Representative
Stephanie Medley 1 Richmond At-Large Community Representative
Tamisha Torres-Walker 3 Antioch At-Large Community Representative
D'Ana Clark 1 Richmond At-Large Youth Representative
Journey Horacek-Lee 3 Antioch At-Large Youth Representative
Given the exceptionally high level of interest and quality of applicants, at the conclusion of the
interview process, the PPC indicated a recruitment process would be conducted in the near future
to fill two (2) seats for representatives from nonprofit community-based organizations (CBO).
At the June 18, 2019, Board of Supervisors meeting, the BOS appointed the individuals identified
in Attachment A to serve on the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council with their appointments
effective July 1, 2019.
There are currently two vacant seats for representatives of nonprofit community-based
organizations. At the July 1, 2019, PPC meeting, the Committee approved the following
recruitment schedule to fill these two vacancies on the JJCC:
July 16: First Day of Application Period
August 16: Application Deadline
September 2: PPC Committee Meeting – Interviews (rescheduled to September 30, 2019)
October 8: Board of Supervisors Consideration of Nominees
Staff was also directed to contact the previous JJCC applicants and invite them to participate in
the public interview process for the two nonprofit CBO seats.
Referral Update:
The Office of Reentry and Justice (ORJ) issued a Press Release and distributed it on July 16,
2019, to recruit for the two (2) vacant JJCC CBO seats. As of close of business on August 16,
2019, a total of five (5) new applications were received. In addition, four (4) previous applicants
to the JJCC meet the requirement of serving as a nonprofit CBO representative and confirmed
their continued interest in serving on the JJCC.
The nine (9) applications are included in Attachment B, with all address, email and signatures of
applicants redacted. All applicants were notified about the public interviews with the PPC on
September 30, 2019.
A summary of the information provided by the applicants is included in Attachment C.

As I have made a step from direct service to administration I would also like to make a step
towards involvement in my greater community. I have made my strength-based approach
available to individuals, families, classrooms and schools. I would like to now make my strengths
available to my county.
I believe my experience in working with at-risk teens coupled with my background in mental
health services gives me a unique perspective on preventative and diagnostic care. Throughout
my working experience I have not only worked with troubled youth but also worked closely with
their families, educators, law enforcement officials and community members. Because of this, I
believe I have a more nuanced awareness of the impact on systems rather than just individuals.

ACTIVITIES
During my time in a class centered on the American Presidency at CSUEB, the professor chose a
select few students to participate on election night (2012), analyzing chosen swing states. Thus, I was a
political analyst at an Election Radio Site in Berkeley, CA, specializing in analysis on the State of
Colorado. In April 2013, due to being a research and teaching assistant to Dr. Maria Ortuoste, I was
given the opportunity to volunteer and participate at the International Studies Association’s annual
gathering.
Also, while at CSUEB, I was the editor in chief for CSUEB’s political journal (2012-2013) that
was published each academic year online. I worked with a small team of other students. We sifted
through over 100 student papers and edited about 20. In addition, to being editor, the professor, who was
the advisor for the journal, insisted on having my essay published in Politica.
As a teacher at a prominent private school in the Bay Area, I find it imperative to keep up on my
skills and acquire professional development and experience whenever possible. In the Summer of 2017, I
decided to intern for BART Director Debora Allen as well as the Contra Costa Republican Party. In
addition, I recently sat on the Central Committee of the Contra Costa Republican Party, however, I had to
step down due a change in city residence.

I believe my experience in working with at-risk teens

have not only worked with troubled youth but also
worked closely with their families, educators, law

Because of this, I believe I have a more nuanced

individuals."

PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE - SPECIAL MEETING 5.
Meeting Date:09/30/2019
Subject:Criminal Justice Fees
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: N/A
Referral Name: Criminal Justice Fees
Presenter: Paul Reyes, Committee Staff Contact: Paul Reyes, 925-335-1096
Referral History:
On February 26, 2019, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Public Protection Committee the topic of criminal
justice system fees charged to individuals and a review the current programs, policies and practices related to
criminal justice fees. A copy of the referral is included as Attachment A.
On April 1, 2019, the Public Protection Committee considered an introductory report on the issue of criminal justice
fees assessed in the County. During that meeting, it was noted that momentum to end criminal fees is growing in the
state and individual counties have begun to view criminal justice fees as ineffective and have taken steps to
eliminate them. In 2017, the County of Los Angeles eliminated its public defender registration fee. In May 2018,
San Francisco eliminated all criminal administrative fees under its control, freeing over 21,000 people of more than
$32,000,000 in outstanding criminal administrative fees and surcharges. Most recently, in December 2018, the
Alameda County Board of Supervisors voted to eliminate a host of county-imposed criminal fees. The board voted
to eliminate $26,000,000 in fees for tens of thousands of Alameda County residents. A copy of the Alameda County
Board of Supervisors approved ordiance is included as Attachment B.
With the passage of Senate Bill 190 in 2017, the State of California eliminated juvenile justice fees in all counties. In
January 2019, Senate Bill (SB) 144 was introduced by Sen. Holly Mitchell and would state the intent of the
Legislature to enact legislation to eliminate the range of administrative fees that agencies and courts are authorized
to impose to fund elements of the criminal legal system, and to eliminate all outstanding debt incurred as a result of
the imposition of administrative fees. At the time of the April PPC meeting there had been discussion at the state
level about the proposed elimination of specific fees – the probation fee, the public defender fee, and work furlough
fee.
Also during the April PPC, general arguments in favor or against continuing criminal justice fees were discussed. It
was also noted that analysis of adult criminal justice fees had proven to be complicated. State law dictates a very
complex process for the distribution of fine and fee revenue. Per a recent Legislative Analyst’s Office report, state
law currently contains at least 215 distinct code sections specifying how individual fines and fees are to be
distributed to state and local funds, including additional requirements for when payments are not made in full.
The report provided at the April PPC meeting focused on those fees that had been positively identified as being
local and discretionary fees (i.e. not mandated by California law), specifically Probation Fees, Public Defender
Fees, and Sheriff Custody Alternative Facility Fees. Further research and analysis will be needed on other fines and
fees collected by the Contra Costa Superior Court of California (Court) and remitted to the County.
The April staff report included the following infomation on Probation, Public Defender, and work furlough fees:
Probation Fees
Page 55 of 80
Probation Report Fee - In 2009, the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 2009-28 authorizing the Probation
Department to charge a fee of $176 for the cost of generating a probation report to the Court. This is one-time fee.
Cost of Probation Fee - In 2010, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2010/262 to increase the monthly
Cost of Probation Fee from $50 per month to $75 per month (average daily cost of $2.50).
Probation Drug Testing Fee – The Probation Department currently charges $10 per month (average daily cost of
$0.33) for drug testing.
Probation Dept. Drug Diversion Fee – The Probation Department currently receives approximately $1,000 per year
from this fee.
All adults that have been ordered to formal Probation, which includes mandatory supervision, and ordered to pay
Probation fees, drug testing fees and/or the cost of their court report shall be assessed for their ability to pay said
fees. The ability-to-pay determination is sent to the Court. The Court will order the amount the probationer is
required to pay and refer the probationer to the Court Collections Unit for collection.
The following table illustrates the total amount of probation fees a probationer could hypothetically be charged. This
is assuming the probation is placed on 3 years of probation and requires monthly drug testing. Over 3 years, a
probationer could be charged up to $3,236 for probation.
Example Probationer Cost # of Months Total
Supervision $75/month 36 2,700
Drug Testing $10/month 36 360
Report Fee $176 one-time n/a 176
Total Cost of Probation 3,236
Cost of Collection and Revenue
The following table shows the actual and estimated cost of collection and revenue for FY 17/18 and FY 18/19, respectively. The
Probation fee revenue is used to offset the salaries of adult Deputy Probation Officers.

Total 108,986 564,793 99,010 536,000
Public Defender Fees
Penal Code 987.81 authorizes the Court to consider and make a determination of the defendant’s ability to pay all or a portion
of the costs of legal assistance provided through the public defender or private counsel appointed by the court and may order
the defendant to pay all or a part of the cost.
Adults charged with capital or homicide cases may have to pay fees ordered by the court at the conclusion of the case to
reimburse the County for the cost of outside counsel. The defendant is referred to the Contra Costa Superior Court Collections
Unit by the judge who orders the amount to be paid. The Court makes a determination as to how much, if any, of the ordered
amount the person can afford to pay. This determination is made on a sliding scale based upon the person's financial resources.
The Office of the Public Defender is not involved in the determination of, or collection of fees.

Cost of Collection and Revenue
The following table shows the actual and estimated cost of collection and revenue for FY 17/18 and FY 18/19, respectively. The

Sheriff Office Custody Alternative Facility Program Fees
In 2009, the Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No. 2009/435 setting the fees for the Office of the Sheriff custody
alternative programs. The current fees for the Custody Alternative Facility programs are provided below.
Fee Cost
Electronic Home Detention and Alcohol
Monitoring:
Application fee $125.00 one-time
Electronic Home Monitoring Only $20.00 per day
Alcohol Monitoring Only $20.00 per day
Electronic Home Monitoring and Alcohol Monitoring $23.50 per day
Urinalysis Test $6.00 per test
Work Alternative Program:
Application fee $125.00 one-time
Daily Fee $16.00 per day
Ability to Pay Process
The current Custody Alternative Facility (CAF) procedure provides for the CAF participant to be completely enrolled in a CAF
program prior to discussing fees or ability to pay. Participants review and complete the personal budget with their assigned CAF
Specialist. The participant will then request a reduction/waiver of fees based on their stated ability to pay. A CAF Sergeant will
review and approve the Personal Budget form. A participant's inability to pay all or a portion of any fee(s) will not preclude
them from being enrolled or completing any program offered by the Custody Alternative Facility.
Process of Collections
CAF fees are collected after the participant is enrolled in a CAF program. Fees can be paid in the manner which is most
appropriate for the participant. Participants can pay their total program fees at one time or over a pre-determined length of time.
There is no process established to collect payment from participants who complete the program, but do not pay. A participant's
ability to successfully complete a CAF programs is not impacted by lack of payment.
Future Plan for CAF Electronic Home Detention and Work Alternative Prog rams
CAF is currently working with representatives from the Office of Re-Entry and Justice, the Public Defender’s Office, and
Reentry Solutions Group to present updated Ability to Pay forms.
Revenue
The following table shows the actual and estimated revenue for FY 17/18 and FY 18/19, respectively. The CAF Fee revenue is
used to offset program costs.

The PPC accepted the introductory report and directed staff to perform further research on other fees that are collected or
remitted to the County and to report back to the Committee with staff's findings.
On July 1, 2019, the Public Protection Committee accepted an a follow-up report on this issue which included a review of a
wider range of criminal justice fees, including those that are mandated by state legislation. This update included the following
information on criminal justice fees and SB 144.
Criminal Justice Fees
The Legistlative Analyst's Office (LAO) provided a report titled "Overview of State Criminal Fines and Fees and Probation
Fees. The report provide background information regarding both cirminal fines and fees and probation fees. This includes an
explanation of how cimrinal fines and fees are assessed. A copy of the LAO report is included as Attachment C.
Upon the request of the Committee, the analysis of the County's criminal justice fees was expanded beyond the fees charged
for Probation, indigent defense, and alternatives-to-incarceration fees. Attachment D summaries the fee analysis performed by
staff which includes: fee description, relevant code section, authority, ability-to-pay provision, funded County program or
function, and revenue collected.
Senate Bill 144
As of July 1, 2019, SB 144 had passed through the California Senate and was in the California Assembly. SB 144 is set to be
heard on July 9th in the Assembly Public Safety Committee. SB 144 is currently opposed by Calfiornia State Association of
Counties, Urban Counties of California, Rural County Representatives of California, and the Chief Probation Officers of
California. These organizations’ opposition is not based on the underlying policy conversation regarding lessening the financial
burden associated with fines and fees levied on adults in the criminal justice system, but is based on the fiscal implications and
the request for the addition of a sustainable funding source to ensure this does not inadvertently impact the core services,
programs and efforts to promote the rehabilitation of offenders. A copy of the amended SB 144 can be found here:
http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billPdf.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB144&version=20190SB14497AMD
During the July meeting, the Public Protection Committee considered a number of concerns revolving around adult criminal
justice fees, including significant concern brought up regarding the ability-to-pay process. The majority of criminal fees include
provisions that allow for either a waiver or reduction of the fee based on one’s ability to pay. The Public Protection Committee
voted unanimously to refer to the full Board of Supervisors a temporary moratorium on the assessment and collection of
criminal justice fees currently authorized by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.
Referral Update:
On September 17, 2019, the Board of Supervisors considered adopting Resolution No. 2019/522 to place a moratorium on the
assessment and collection of certain criminal justice fees. The Board of Supervisors approved the moratorium and directed the
Public Protection Committee to gather additiional data about criminal justice fees in Contra Costa County and to return to the
Board of Supervisors before the end of the year. A copy of the Resolution is attached for reference (Attachment E).
Following the adoption of the moratorium by the Board of Supervisors, the County Administrator's Office had notified the
Sheriff's Office, the Probation Department, and the Superior Court of this moratorium on the assessment and collection of the
applicable criminal justice fees.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
ACCEPT an update on the implementation of a moratorium on the collection and assessment of certain
criminal justice fees assessed by the County; and
1.
PROVIDE direction to staff on next steps.2.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
No immediate fiscal impact.

Introduction
In this handout, we provide background information responding to common
questions regarding both criminal fines and fees and probation fees.
Criminal Fines and Fees. During court proceedings, trial courts
typically levy fines and fees upon individuals convicted of criminal
offenses (including traffic violations).
Probation Fees. State law authorizes counties to levy fees on
probationers to cover probation-related costs. For example, a
probationer who is subject to electronic monitoring—such as being
required to wear a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit on his or her
ankle—can be charged for its costs.

LEGISLATIVE ANALYST’S OFFICE 2
How Are Criminal Fines and Fees Assessed?
The total amount owed by an individual begins with a base fine set in state law
for each criminal offense. State law then requires courts to add certain charges
to this fine. On a limited basis, counties and courts can levy additional charges
depending on the specific violations and other factors. Statute gives judges
some discretion to reduce the total amount owed by waiving or reducing
certain charges.

How Have Fine and Fee Levels
Changed Over Time?
Total Fine and Fee Levels Have Increased Significantly. Since 2005,
the number and size of charges added to the base fine have increased
significantly—resulting in increases in the total amount owed by individuals
convicted of criminal offenses. As shown in the above figure, the total penalty
for a stop sign violation has increased by 54 percent since 2005.
Fine and Fee Levels Set to Serve Multiple Purposes. The state has enacted
various fines and fees for various purposes. Some (such as the base fine)
are generally tied to the seriousness of the crime. Others (such as the DNA
assessments) were enacted to generate revenue to fund specific activities.
Finally, some fines and fees were enacted to help offset state or local costs for
providing particular services to individuals paying the specific charge.

How Is Fine and Fee Revenue Distributed?
Numerous Funds Eligible to Receive Fine and Fee Revenue. Over 50 state
funds—in addition to many local funds throughout the state—are eligible
to receive fine and fee revenue. However, some of these funds receive very
little revenue, such as those that only receive revenue from fines and fees for
specific offenses that occur infrequently.
Complex Process for Distributing Fine and Fee Revenue. State law (and
county resolutions for certain local charges) dictate a very complex process
for the distribution of fine and fee revenue. State law currently contains at least
215 distinct code sections specifying how individual fines and fees are to be
distributed to state and local funds, including additional requirements for when
payments are not made in full. In order to comply with these requirements,
collection programs must carefully track, distribute, and record the revenue
they collect.

Who Benefits From Fine and Fee Revenue?
State Receives Majority of Revenue. According to available data compiled
by the State Controller’s Office and the judicial branch, we estimate that a
total of $1.7 billion in fine and fee revenue was distributed to state and local
governments in 2015-16. (This is the most recent data that we have analyzed.)
As shown in the figure, the state received $881 million (or roughly half) of
this revenue. Of this amount, roughly 60 percent went to support trial court
operations and construction.
Local Governments Receive Most of Remaining Revenue. We estimate that
local governments received $707 million (or 42 percent) of the total amount
distributed in 2015-16. Of this amount, about 80 percent went to the counties.

Collection Programs Receive Share of Revenue. Collection programs
received $114 million (or 7 percent) of the total amount distributed in 2015-16
for their operational costs related to the collection of delinquent payments.
These funds are split between state trial courts and counties depending on
which entity incurred the costs.

How Are Probation Fees Assessed?
Fee Levels Vary Between and Within Counties. The above figure shows
certain probation fees charged by three selected counties. As shown, the
number, type, and level of probation fees varies significantly by county and
the specific fee levied. We note that in addition to probation fees, probationers
could also be required to pay other government fines and fees, such as the
criminal fines and fees assessed by trial courts.
Ability to Pay Can Impact Fees Levied. Some probation fees can be adjusted
based on a probationer’s ability to pay. In addition, some counties have policies
stating that inability to pay shall not prevent a probationer from receiving
services such as supervision and electronic monitoring.

What Is the Total Amount of Probation Fees
That Probationers Are Charged?
Fees Owed Can Vary Substantially Between Probationers. The figure
above provides hypothetical examples of the total probation fees that two
probationers might be charged over a three-year period. These examples are
intended to demonstrate the magnitude of (1) the fees a probationer can owe
and (2) the difference between fee levels for similar probationers in different
counties.
Level of Supervision Significantly Impacts Fee Amounts. A probationer
on low-level supervision (such as someone convicted for a misdemeanor)
is generally charged fewer fees compared to a probationer on high-level
supervision (such as someone convicted of a felony) who must also follow
certain other requirements (such as being on GPS monitoring and receiving
random drug tests on a regular basis).

PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE - SPECIAL
MEETING 6.
Meeting Date:09/30/2019
Subject:COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS PARTNERSHIP VICTIMS'
REPRESENTATIVE
Submitted For: David Twa, County Administrator
Department:County Administrator
Referral No.: N/A
Referral Name: COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS PARTNERSHIP VICTIMS'
REPRESENTATIVE
Presenter: Paul Reyes, (925)335-1096 Contact: Paul Reyes,
(925)335-1096
Referral History:
The California Legislature passed Assembly Bill 109 (Chapter 15, Statutes of 2011), which
transferred responsibility for supervising certain lower-level inmates and parolees from the
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) to counties. Assembly Bill 109
(AB109) took effect on October 1, 2011 and realigned three major areas of the criminal justice
system. On a prospective basis, the legislation:
• Transferred the location of incarceration for lower-level offenders (specified nonviolent,
non-serious, non-sex offenders) from state prison to local county jail and provides for an
expanded role for post-release supervision for these offenders;
• Transferred responsibility for post-release supervision of lower-level offenders (those released
from prison after having served a sentence for a non-violent, non-serious, and non-sex offense)
from the state to the county level by creating a new category of supervision called Post-Release
Community Supervision (PRCS);
• Transferred the custody responsibility for parole and PRCS revocations to local jail,
administered by county sheriffs
AB109 also created an Executive Committee of the local Community Corrections Partnership
(CCP) and tasked it with recommending a Realignment Plan (Plan) to the county Board of
Supervisors for implementation of the criminal justice realignment. The Community Corrections
Partnership is identified in statute as the following:
Community Corrections Partnership
Chief Probation Officer (Chair)1.
Page 76 of 80
Presiding Judge (or designee)2.
County supervisor, CAO, or a designee of the BOS3.
District Attorney4.
Public Defender5.
Sheriff6.
Chief of Police7.
Head of the County department of social services8.
Head of the County department of mental health9.
Head of the County department of employment10.
Head of the County alcohol and substance abuse programs11.
Head of the County Office of Education12.
CBO representative with experience in rehabilitative services for criminal offenders13.
Victims’ representative14.
Later in 2011, the Governor signed Assembly Bill 117 (Chapter 39, Statutes of 2011), which
served as “clean up” legislation to AB109. Assembly Bill 117 (AB117) changed, among other
things, the composition of the local CCP-Executive Committee. The CCP-Executive Committee
is currently identified in statute as the following:
Community Corrections Partnership-Executive Committee
Chief Probation Officer (Chair)1.
Presiding Judge (or designee)2.
District Attorney3.
Public Defender4.
Sheriff5.
A Chief of Police6.
The head of either the County department of social services, mental health, or alcohol and
drug services (as designated by the board of supervisors)
7.
Although AB109 and AB117 collectively place the majority of initial planning activities for
Realignment on the local CCP, it is important to note that neither piece of legislation cedes
powers vested in a county Board of Supervisors’ oversight of and purview over how AB109
funding is spent. Once the Plan is adopted, the Board of Supervisors may choose to implement
that Plan in any manner it may wish.
The current CCP and CCP-Executive Committee membership is included as Attachment A.
