Information
Referral History:
On February 13, 2018, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Committee a review of the production of the County's Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan. The plan is due to the state on May 1 of each year, as a condition of Contra Costa’s annual funding through the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA) and Youthful Offender Block Grant (YOBG). For Contra Costa County, this amounts to over $8 million in annual funding specifically for juvenile justice activities.

Subsequent to the referral, the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) met on March 6, 2018 to discussed the revised, consolidated Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan.
Referral Update:
On February 13, 2018, the Board of Supervisors referred to the Committee a review of the production of the County's Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan. Subsequent to the referral, the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC) met on March 6, 2018 to discussed the revised, consolidated Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan. The JJCC is staffed by the Probation Department and is composed of the following individuals:
  1. Supervisor Karen Mitchoff, (Current BOS Chair rotates annually)
  2. Karen Moghtader, Public Defender’s Office
  3. Dan Cabral, District Attorney’s Office
  4. Brian Vanderlind, Office of the Sheriff
  5. Lynn Mackey, Contra Costa Office of Education
  6. Eric Ghisletta, Martinez Police Department
  7. Shirley Lorenz, Juvenile Justice-Delinquency Prevention Commission
  8. Dan Batiuchok, Behavior Health-Health Services Department
  9. Kathy Marsh, Employment and Human Services Department - Children and Family Services
  10. Mickie Marchetti, REACH Project
  11. Ruth Barajas-Cardona, Bay Area Community Resources (BACR)
  12. Fatima Matal Sol, County Alcohol and Other Drugs Director
A copy of the Plan, which was presented to and approved by the JJCC in March is attached to this staff report for reference.

Given the May 1st deadline for the current funding cycle, staff recommends that any potential changes to the development of the Plan or composition of the JJCC be considered for future years - not the current funding cycle, since the FY 2018-19 Recommended Budget balances using funds from both JJCPA and YOBG.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
1. ACCEPT introductory report on the County's Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan and Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council.

2. PROVIDE direction to staff on next steps.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
No impact.
