SUBJECT: DESIGNATION OF COUNTY JUSTICE SYSTEM EXECUTIVE COUNCIL AS THE COUNTY'S
DRUG AND ALCOHOL ABUSE ENFORCEMENT TEAM
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background &Justification
RECOMMENDATION:
Designate the County Justice System Executive Council as the County's Drug and Alcohol
Abuse Enforcement Team to satisfy Health and Safety Code Section 11998.1, required to
permit the continued flow of Federal funds to County justice agencies.
FINANCIAL. IMPACT:
Failure to make the above designation will result in the loss of Federal anti-drug
funds in the upcoming fiscal. year 1992/93. These funds now flow from the Federal
Department of Justice to the State Office of Criminal Justice Planning and to the
County Sheriff's Department, District Attorney' Office and Probation Department.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND-
The designation of the County Justice System Executive Council would satisfy the
requirement of Health and Safety Code Section 11998.1. We have been informed by the
State Office of Criminal Justice Planning that unless this is done, the flow of
anti-drug funds to the County will be eliminated for the next fiscal year. The County
Justice System Executive Council has as its members the Presiding Judge of Superior
Court. President of the Municipal Court Judges Association, District Attorney, Public
Defender, Chief Probation Officer and the Sheriff-Coroner. This Body has indicated
its willingness to coordinate the enforcement activities required by the Health and
Safety Code in order to protect the continued flow of Federal dollars to this County.
In addition, a criminal justice component must be built into the County's Drug and
Alcohol Abuse Master Plan, as required by Health and Safety Code Section 11998.2.
Under the oversight of the County Justice System Executive Council, the three agencies
involved (Sheriff's Department, District Attorney's Office and Probation Department)
will develop this component within. the next three months with the assistance of the
Health Services Department and present it to your Board for approval.
