RECOMMENDATIONS:
ACCEPT the 2024 Advisory Body Annual Report for the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
On January 7, 2020, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/1, which requires that each advisory board, commission, or committee report annually to the Board on its activities, accomplishments, membership attendance, required training/certification, and proposed work plan or objectives for the following year. The attached report fulfills this requirement for the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council.
In the attached report, the Council advises the Board of Supervisors on the development and implementation of the multi-agency juvenile justice plan composed of several critical parts, including, but not limited to, an assessment of existing law enforcement, probation, education, mental health, health, social services, drug and alcohol, and youth resources. It specifically targets at-risk juveniles, juvenile offenders, and their families and prioritizes the neighborhoods, schools, and other areas in the community that face a significant public safety risk from juvenile crime. The Council also coordinates the work of those governmental and non-governmental organizations engaged in activities designed to reduce the incidence of juvenile crime and delinquency in the greater community, develop information and intelligence-sharing systems to ensure that county actions are fully coordinated and provide data and appropriate outcome measures.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If unapproved, the 2024 Annual Report for the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council would not be formally accepted.
