Information

Referral History:

At its May 6, 2016 meeting, the CCP received a proposal from its Community Advisory Board (CAB) to establish a County Office of Reentry and Justice (ORJ) in the Probation Department. The CAO indicated that the proposal for an ORJ was under consideration for establishment in the County Administrator's Office. Over the course of two months, the CAO's office consulted with the CAB in the development of a proposal, which builds on the work of the CAB and provides for a 2.5 year pilot project during which the ORJ will be established and implemented.

Referral Update:

The CCP considered this matter at its August 5, 2016 meeting. The Executive Committee voted 6-0 (1 absence) to approve the proposal presented by the CAO to establish the Office of Reentry and Justice as a pilot project in the CAO’s office, as described in Attachment A.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

1. RECOMMEND establishing a County Office of Reentry and Justice (ORJ) within the County Administrator's Office, as a pilot project to commence January 1, 2017.

2. PROVIDE direction to staff.
