RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution 2020/76 to establish an expense stipend for the Juvenile Justice Commission.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approximately $4,500 per year. Budgeted within the Probation Department's budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Juvenile Justice Commission (JJC) is a 15-member commission created by statute (Welf. & Inst. Code § 225.) and is in effect part of the Superior Court. The JJC reports to the Presiding Judge of the Juvenile Court and makes recommendations to the Probation Department related to public policy regarding in-custody and at-risk youth. The JJC's primary responsibility is to provide citizen oversight of the juvenile justice system, which includes inspecting juvenile hall, police departments holding youth, and group homes in the county.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Welf. & Inst. Code § 231 provides that JJC members be reimbursed by the County for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. In lieu of reimbursement, the Board of Supervisors may provide that the members of the commission shall be paid not to exceed the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25) per meeting not exceeding two meetings per month.

Today's action will establish an expense stipend for the JJC members of twenty-five dollars ($25) per meeting not exceeding two meetings per month.
