RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPOINT Gigi Crowder to the Community-Based Representative Seat 8 and Carlos Fernandez to the Community-Based Representative Seat 9 on the Racial Justice Oversight Body with appointment terms ending on December 31, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Racial Justice Oversight Body (RJOB) is a multi-agency advisory body established by the your Board on July 24, 2018 to oversee the implementation of the recommendations made by the Racial Justice Task Force to reduce racial disparities in the criminal and juvenile justice systems.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 7 and 12, 2022, the Office of Reentry and Justice (ORJ) at the Probation Department issued a press release and e-newsletter to announce the recruitment of two (2) vacant Community-Based Representative Seats, 8 and 9, for the terms expiring on December 31, 2022. On May 5, 2022, the RJOB considered the applicants and recommended the nomination of Gigi Crowder to the Community-Based Representative Seat 8 and Carlos Fernandez to the Community-Based Representative Seat 9. On June 27, 2022, the Public Protection Committee considered RJOB's appointment recommendations and approved the recommended appointments for consideration by the Board of Supervisors.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The two Community-Based Representative seats will remain vacant, which could create a challenge the Racial Justice Oversight Body's ability to establish a quorum.
