19 JJ Data Report Jon Berkeley has been hired as the new court counselor supervisor; he was unable to attend today's meeting but will be joining future meetings. They are currently transitioning from one reporting system to another and do not have access to either at the moment so there is no monthly data to report. However, at the last meeting a council member had asked about some Raise the Age data and she was able to pull that. From December 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021,they saw many minor offenses, including: simple assault, simple possession of a controlled substance, resisting an officer, and injury to property. However, they have had some more serious offenses, including robbery with a dangerous weapon and first degree burglary. The minor offenses are staying within juvenile court; however,the more serious ones are going through the transfer process. These offenses are not necessarily being committed by Orange County youth, but could be youth who are coming to, or traveling through, the county. Q: As we are talking about Raise the Age, if a youth is moved to Superior Court because of the offense, how can they come back down to juvenile court? Is that even a possibility? Is there any way the JCPC can help advocate to have more cases kept in juvenile court? A: If the District Attorney sends an indictment up to adult court, it is not possible for a judge to overrule it. In order for it to be sent back to juvenile court, the DA would have to agree for the transfer. The JCPC can help advocate by speaking with the DA. While A-G felonies require a mandatory transfer, the case can be remanded back down if initiated by the DA. Minutes Review and Approval Quorum was not met; June 2021minutes approval will be tabled until October meeting. JCPC Business ' JCPC Work Plan Calendar—This is the calendar of activities that the JCPC needs to complete each fiscal year. It provides an overview of the work of the JCPC that needs to take place in order to meet our goals as the end of the year, including the risk and needs assessment,program evaluations/monitoring,request for proposals, and funding recommendations. This calendar will serve as our template for our work for the fiscal year. This document is provided by the Department for JCPCs to be able to see all of the required legislative mandates. If you see an activity in a particular month that we don't do in that month,just know that it is a fluid calendar and the months may not match exactly. Conflict of Interest Form—Every voting council member must sign this form every year certifying that they have no interest in the programs or agencies that receive funding. In the event that someone has checked"yes", that there is a conflict, there needs to be a short explanation of how the JCPC will handle the conflict(could be a simple as the member abstaining from funding votes). Technically, members should not be voting until the form has been completed and submitted. Please get those signed and returned to Rebekah as soon as possible. Committee Sign-Up—We have Monitoring, Risk&Needs, and Funding committees. Wherever your level of interest falls, please feel free to sign up for one or more committees that you'd like to participate in. They all do important work that is integral to the larger work of the board and we need everyone's participation. Risk and Needs Committee date change—Typically the work of the Risk and Needs Committee has happened in January but it is proposed to move that committee to earlier in the fiscal year, around October. The work of this committee typically is the starting point for the rest of the work—request for
