RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the 2014-2015 Annual Report from the Contra Costa County Juvenile Justice-Delinquency Prevention Commission.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact. Informational only

BACKGROUND:

Section 229 of the welfare and Institutions Code mandates that each county have a Juvenile Justice Commission to inquire into the administration of juvenile court law. The code also allows each county to have a Delinquency Prevention Commission at the discretion of the Board of Supervisors. Contra Costa County has such a Commission with the latter established in 1966. The Commission has access to all publicly administered institutions authorized by the County. It annually inspects jails, lock-ups, institutions and bi-annually county group home facilities. The purpose of the Juvenile Justice-Delinquency Prevention Commission is to be a public conscience in the best interest of justice for children and youth.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Board of Supervisors will not receive the Juvenile Justice-Delinquency Prevention Commissions annual report for fiscal year 2014-2015.

CLERK'S ADDENDUM
