Regarding the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act:

On November 26, 2002, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved the formal Governance and Membership Structure for the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council. Welfare and Institutions Code 749.21 states: “To be eligible for this grant, each county shall be required to establish a multiagency juvenile justice coordinating council that shall develop and implement a continuum of county-based responses to juvenile crime.” Additionally, it states: “The coordinating councils shall develop a comprehensive, multiagency plan that identifies the resources and strategies for providing an effective continuum of responses for the prevention, intervention, supervision, treatment, and incarceration of male and female juvenile offenders.”

      Regarding Senate Bill (SB) 823:

Subsection 1995. (a). “To be eligible for funding described in Section 1991, a county shall create a subcommittee of the multiagency juvenile justice coordinating council, as described in Section 749.22, to develop a plan describing the facilities, programs, placements, services, supervision and reentry strategies that are needed to provide appropriate rehabilitation and supervision services for the population described in subdivision (b) of Section 1990.”

      Regarding Government Code 87200 – Conflict of Interest, Los Angeles County Commission Manual 2023:

Los Angeles County Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council members annually file a Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700) pursuant to Government Code Section 87200. The statement is a personal disclosure of assets and income. The purpose of financial disclosure is to alert public officials to personal interests that might be affected while they are performing their official duties (i.e., making governmental decisions). Disclosure also helps inform the public about potential conflicts of interest.

      Los Angeles County Commission Manual regarding Conflict of Interest:

“Commission members must keep their personal interests separate from their Commission duties and responsibilities and avoid conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest occurs if Commission members allow their personal relationships, money (or the promise of money), or other outside factors to influence how they perform their Commission duties and responsibilities. A conflict of interest also exists if Commission members use information acquired in their capacity as Commission members for personal gain. To avoid potential conflicts or the appearance of any conflicts, Commission members may not participate in discussions, deliberations, or recommendations regarding issues n which they have a personal or financial interest. In addition, they may not accept gifts from lobbyists or anyone doing business with the County or who may come before the Commission. This is against County policy and may be illegal.”
