PURPOSE: To establish and approve membership of the Orange-Chatham Criminal Justice
Advisory Board which represents the Criminal Justice Partnership Program (CJPP) and Juvenile
Justice Crime Council (JCPC).
BACKGROUND: At the January 19, 1999 meeting, the BOCC received information regarding
recent legislation (Senate Bill 1260) establishing Juvenile Crime Prevention Councils (JCPC). One
of the responsibilities of the JCPC includes oversight of community-based alternatives (CBA)
funded programs. This has traditionally been the primary duty of the Youth Services Advisory
Commission (YSAC).
The Orange-Chatham CJPP has been amulti-county effort since FY 1995-96. The CJPP advisory
board is responsible for developing and administering local community-based correction programs
for adult offenders.
Although the JCPC focuses on the needs of juveniles and the CJPP focuses on the needs of adults,
the charge of the two boards is very similar. Also, with a few exceptions, membership of the JCPC
is almost identical to that of the CJPP advisory board. For these reasons, the BOCC was requested
to consolidate the advisory boards, if acceptable with Chatham County. Since that January meeting,
the Chatham County Board of Commissioners has approved establishing joint boards and
continuing the multi-county partnership.
A transition team, comprised of CJPP board members, has developed a proposed listing of members
for approval by both Boards of County Commissioners. Because this is an extensive multi-county
effort, the proposed membership includes dual representatives for many designated positions. The
public participation category allows the BOCC to appoint up to seven members from the public;
four are currently listed. As proposed, this board presently includes more than 40 members.
An orientation for this new advisory board is scheduled for early summer 1999.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None.
RECOMMENDATON(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the proposed
membership list for establishing the Orange-Chatham Criminal Justice Advisory Board.
