RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the resignation of Devorah Levine, DECLARE a vacancy in the Victim's Representative seat on the Contra Costa Community Corrections Partnership, and DIRECT the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancy.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

In 2011, the California Legislature passed the Public Safety Realignment Act (Assembly Bill 109), which transferred responsibility of incarceration and community supervision of individuals convicted of specific low-level felonies from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to counties. AB 109 also tasked the local Community Corrections Partnership with recommending to the County Board of Supervisors a plan for implementing criminal justice realignment.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Devorah Levine, the Victim's Representative, notified staff of her resignation from the Community Corrections Partnership on October 31, 2018. The Public Protection Committee is responsible for recruiting and making recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on appointments to the Community Corrections Partnership. On November 5, 2018, the Public Protection Committee directed staff to begin the recruitment process.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Board Order is not approved the vacancy will not be posted and the Victim's Representative seat will remain vacant.
