PUBLIC PROTECTION COMMITTEE Meeting Date: May 6, 2024 Subject: Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council Act Update Submitted For: Esa Ehmen-Krause, County Probation Officer Department: Probation Referral Name: Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council Presenter: Esa Ehmen-Krause, County Probation Officer Contact: Deborah Caldwell (925) 313-4188 Referral History: On February 13, 2018, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Public Protection Committee 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). For Contra Costa County, this amounts to over $8 million in annual funding specifically for juvenile justice activities. In 2018, the Committee accepted an introductory report on the County's Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan and the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council and a summary of the Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC), the Delinquency Prevention Commission (DPC) and the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC). During the October 2018 meeting, the Committee noted that the County has two advisory bodies that are charged with similar duties, specifically, the Delinquency Prevention Commission and the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council and directed staff to return to the Board of Supervisors to combine the functions of the DPC and JJCC. On December 4, 2018, the Board of Supervisors introduced Ordinance 2018-30, which dissolved the DPC and adopted Resolution 2018/597 increasing the size of the JJCC to 19 members and designating the JJCC to coordinate county-wide juvenile delinquency prevention activities. The adoption of the ordinance and resolution effectuated the dissolution of the DPC and its referral to this Committee. Referral Update: Please see the attached presentation slides on the County’s Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council. Recommendation(s)/Next Steps: RECEIVE the report from the Probation Department on the County’s Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council. Fiscal Impact (if any): None.
