Discussion was held.

Public comment received.

Members reviewed the work plan and agreed they were on track with their

objectives and priorities. They raised a question about a key action step,

specifically reviewing survey results to help shape their recommendations. It was

noted that CAB Programs & Services will be discussing both the in-custody and

provider surveys at their next meeting.

Members expressed concern about not having enough time to review the survey

results before submitting recommendations to the Community Corrections

Partnership (CCP). They were informed that the CCP budget workshop takes place

in November. If the survey results are not ready in time to inform budget

recommendations, policy recommendations can still be submitted. Final CCP

budget meetings will be held in December.

understand, such as adding definitions, whole numbers, additional demographic

data, and summary views of AB 109 as a whole. Members also raised questions

regarding service utilization and ensuring data consistency. The Subcommittee

expressed interest in continuing to provide input on data metrics.
