6. Staff recommends the Committee take the following action:
  1. ACCEPT further input from the Task Force and the Sheriff in regards to Recommendations Nos. 18 and 19, and REFER the Recommendations, with any appropriate amendments, back to the Board of Supervisors for adoption.
  Staff provided the following referral update:

The Racial Justice Task Force met on September 5, 2018, to consider Recommendations #18 and #19 as directed by the PPC.  Task Force Member Harlan Grossman provided information about other oversight bodies at the County level that were in existence across the state and this was compiled into a handout that was shared with the Task Force.  Mr. Grossman also brought a member of the public to the meeting who had extensive experience in the development of similar oversight bodies, including being a paid consultant to the Santa Clara County Blue Ribbon Commission that considered this issue.  Based on this additional information, and comments received from the public, there was a widespread belief among Task Force Members that there was more important information to be considered by the Task Force, and that there would be value in including the Sheriff, or detention facility staff, in future discussions and information sharing prior to this being reconsidered by the Board of Supervisors. 

Staff requested to change the recommendation as follows:
  1. Direct the Racial Justice Task Force to continue its work until a Racial Justice Oversight Body is formed, and the work the Task Force should include the continued review and study of Recommendations #18 and #19.
The Committee approved the staff report as modified above and provided the following direction to staff:
  1. The Racial Justice Task Force was directed to continue its work of studying Recommendations #18 and #19, which includes the research of different models of oversight bodies;
  2. The Racial Justice Task Force was directed to form a smaller workgroup made up of members of the Racial Justice Task Force to meet with the Sheriff, or Sheriff representative, to discuss implementing an oversight body.
