RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the 2020 Advisory Body Annual Report for the Racial Justice Oversight Body (RJOB).

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. This Annual Report is due to the Board of Supervisors in December.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The 2020 Advisory Body Annual Report for the Racial Justice Oversight Body (RJOB) is included as Attachment A.

The RJOB is a multi-agency advisory body established by the Board of Supervisors to oversee the implementation of the recommendations made by the Racial Justice Task Force (RJTF) and accepted by the Board of Supervisors to reduce racial disparities in the criminal and juvenile justice systems. The RJOB also reviews local criminal and juvenile justice data in an ongoing fashion to identify and address any racial disparities that may persist. The RJOB is comprised of 18 members, including nine representatives from local community-based organizations (CBOs) and nine ex-officio members from specified local justice system agencies. The RJOB meets on a quarterly basis and its members also serve on its three subcommittees that each currently meets on a monthly basis.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The 2020 Advisory Body Annual Report submitted on behalf of the Racial Justice Oversight Body in accordance with Resolution No. 2020/1 would not be formally accepted.
