There are sixteen members of the JJCC, which includes four public members appointed by the Board of Supervisors. The purposes of the JJCC are as follows:

To advise the Chief Probation Officer in the development of the proposed expenditure plan for funds provided under the Comprehensive Youth Services Act and to advise the Chief Probation Officer with respect to compliance with all statutory State and Federal guidelines and regulatory requirements;
b. To develop and submit to the Board of Supervisors a Comprehensive Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice Plan in accordance with the requirements of the Crime Prevention Act of 2000 and all guidelines and requirements of the State Board of Corrections; and

To develop methods of monitoring expenditure of funds, to ensure quality of services provided and to evaluate the outcome effectiveness of services and programs funded under the Comprehensive Youth Services Act (Chapter 3.2 of Part 6 of Division 9 of the Welfare and Institutions Code) and any other juvenile justice expenditures as the Board of Supervisors may direct.
On January 21, 2026, the Juvenile Justice Coordination Council met at a regular meeting and voted to recommend the appointment of Josh Schultz and the reappointment of Kerry Ahearn. (Recommendation letters attached)
