In October of 2018, the Public Protection Committee noted that the County has two advisory bodies that are charged with similar duties, specifically, the Delinquency Prevention Commission and the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council, and directed staff to return to the Board of Supervisors to combine the functions of the DPC and JJCC. Also during the October 2018 meeting, the committee reviewed the composition of the JJCC and recommended that the JJCC consist of the following: Chief Probation Officer, District Attorney's Office representative, Public Defender's Office representative, Sheriff's Office representative, Board of Supervisors representative, Employment and Human Services Department representative, Behavior Health representative, County Alcohol and Drugs representative, City Police Department Representative, County Office of Education or a school district representative, County Public Health representative, and Eight community-based seats, including a minimum of two representing youth-serving community-based organizations and two youth-aged community representatives (14-21 years old). On December 4, 2018, the Board of Supervisors introduced Ordinance 2018-30 to dissolve the Delinquency Prevention Commission, adopted Resolution 2018/597 to add seats and duties to Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council, and terminated the referral to the Committee on this topic. On December 18, 2018, Ordinance 2018-30 was adopted.  
  
On January 14, 2020, Rebecca Oriol, the community-based representative, resigned from the JJCC. The Public Protection Committee is responsible for recruiting and making recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on appointments to the JJCC. Upon the Board's acceptance of her resignation and the declaration of the seat as vacant, staff will bring the matter the to Public Protection Committee for its recruitment and recommendation to the Board of a replacement appointment.

If this Board Order is not approved, the vacancy will not be posted and the seat will remain vacant.
