BACKGROUND:

The Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) is a multiagency advisory body that informs the development and implementation of a countywide juvenile justice plan. In October 2021, staff identified that seven (7) seat appointments had expired on June 30, 2021. This created an immediate concern that the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council JJCC would not be able to establish quorum or October 19, 2021, the Board of Supervisors approved the reappoint of the prior incumbents of the seven (7) termed seats. This was to ensure that the JJCC would be able to establish quorum and conduct meetings. The reappointment is through January 31, 2022 to allow the JJCC staff to conduct an open recruitment for these seats.

The Probation Department issued a Press Release on November 15, 2021, to recruit for three (3) at-large representative seats and Two (2) community based organization representative seats on the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC). Probation received a total of five (5) applications prior to the deadline. All applicants were considered and were invited to participate in public interviews scheduled for the Public Protection Committee (PPC) meeting on December 16, 2021. There were three (3) applicants in attendance at the December 16 meeting, all of whom were interviewed. Once interviews were conducted, the PPC members recommended Trevor Arceneaux, Louise Buckingham and Denise Mills be appointed to the JJCC by the Board of Supervisors for a term of two years ending June 30, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Community Based Organization Representative seat and two (2) At-Large Representative seats will remain vacant and the JJCC will be unable to reach quorum.
