BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Legal Authority
Pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) section 749.2, then-Board of Corrections administered the Juvenile Crime Enforcement and Accountability Challenge Grant Program, for the purpose of reducing juvenile crime and delinquency. The program awarded grants to counties that developed and implemented a comprehensive, multiagency local action plan that provided for a continuum of responses to juvenile crime and delinquency. To be eligible for the grant, counties were required to establish a multiagency juvenile justice coordinating council for developing such local action plan to reduce the incidence of juvenile crime and delinquency.
The Orange County Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council
On December 3, 1996, your Honorable Board adopted Resolution 96-830, authorizing the Chief Probation Officer to submit an application for Juvenile Crime Enforcement and Accountability Challenge Grant Program Planning funds. The Resolution also established the Orange County Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council (Council) to fulfill the purposes of WIC section 749.22. Your Board appointed the Chief Probation Officer as Council Chairperson.
On November 10, 1998, your Board approved the expansion of the Council membership. As presently constituted, the Council consists of the following voting members, along with Chief Probation Officer Steven J. Sentman serving as Chairperson:
