The Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) is a multiagency advisory body that informs the development and implementation of a countywide juvenile justice plan. On March 23, 2021, the Board of Supervisors declared one (1) At-Large Community-Member Representative Seat and two (2) At-Large Youth (ages 14-25) seats vacant and recommended that the Chief Probation Officer work with the Clerk of the Board to post the vacancies. On April 1, 2021, the Probation Department issued a press release to announce the recruitment for the two (2) vacant At-Large Youth seats and the one (1) vacant At-Large Community Seat on the JJCC. Probation received a total of eight (8) applications for the At-Large Community Seat prior to the deadline on May 10, 2021. No applications were received for the Youth seats. All applicants were considered and were invited to participate in public interviews scheduled for the Public Protection Committee (PPC) meeting on May 24, 2021. One applicant withdrew his application prior to interviews. There were three (3) applicants in attendance at the May 24 meeting, all of whom were interviewed. Once interviews were conducted, the PPC members recommended Meg Keeley be appointed to the JJCC by the Board of Supervisors for a term of two years ending June 30, 2023.  
  

If this action is not approved, the At-Large Community-Member Representative Seat will remain vacant and the JJCC may have difficulty reaching quorum given the other two youth vacancies.
