Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
March 11, 1997, through Resolution #97-037, created the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (JJCC); December 12, 2000 approved the CMJJP and initial application for funding; May 12, 2009 approved amended CMJJP; June 23, 2020 accepted the CMJJP dated March 2020, adopted the JJCC Bylaws, and approved the JJCPA budget for Fiscal Year 2020-21.
Summary of Request:
Under Welfare & Institutions Code 749.22, the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council is responsible for developing a comprehensive, multi-agency juvenile justice plan aimed at decreasing crime and delinquency among at-risk youth. In 2000, the State of California established the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (“JJCPA Program”). The JJCPA Program was created by the Crime Prevention Act of 2000 to provide a more stable state funding source for implementing a Juvenile Justice Plan (“Plan”) developed by the Council. The Council is required to review annually the Plan and make modifications as necessary.
In December 2019, the Probation Department engaged Racy Ming Associates, LLC to conduct a detailed evaluation of juvenile delinquency in our region and to develop an updated Comprehensive Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan (CMJJP). The updated Plan was reviewed and unanimously approved by the JJCC on March 27, 2020 and subsequently accepted by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors on June 23, 2020.
On March 26, 2021, the JJCC met to complete the annual review of the CMJJP. The JJCC proposed the continuation of existing funded programs as well as the addition of a new program, Family Education Program. This new program will serve as an opportunity for parents of incarcerated youth to receive support and education. The Plan was unanimously approved by the JJCC with the agreed amendment. The Proposed JJCPA Budget for Fiscal Year 2021-22 for programming and services included in the CMJJP was also unanimously approved by the JJCC.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Provide direction; return this matter to the Chief Probation Officer and the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council for development of additional options.
