Crawford, District #9, Eileen T. KowaII, District #6, Helaine Zack, District #22 RE: Board of Commissioners - Creation of Criminal Justice Coordinating Council TO: Oakland County Board of Commissioners Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen; WHEREAS the Oakland County Jail Population Task Force was created to look into ways to: (a) develop a jail population Management plan; (b) expedite the processing of criminal cases; and (c) recommend jail population management policies; and WHEREAS chronic jail crowding has placed a tremendous burden on Oakland County's criminal justice system for many years. Oakland County has added close to 350 medium and minimum security level beds since December, 1996, and still has to consistently utilize out-county housing to maintain inmate population levels to avoid implementation of a jail overcrowding emergency. In 2004, out-county inmate population averaged 145 inmates per day; and WHEREAS the National Institute of Corrections recommends comprehensive systemwide planning (interagency and cross-jurisdictional) to streamline the entire local system of justice, eliminate duplication, fill service gaps and generally improve the quality of service while controlling costs; and WHEREAS the consultants from the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) recommended that Oakland County "develop a collaborative approach with accompanying organization mechanisms to increase communication, cooperation and coordination of the entire justice system operating within Oakland County;" and WHEREAS the NIC consultants recommended that Oakland County establish "a Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee (CJCC). This will provide the organizational framework and mechanism to allow key justice system officials to do three things: 1) develop consensus (relying heavily on data) about what is wrong with the system; 2) develop a vision of what the new, improved system should look like; and 3) develop and implement policies, programs and operational action plans;" and WHEREAS a Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee will provide a forum where key justice system agency officials and other officials of general government may discuss and address justice system issues; and WHEREAS the advantages of a Criminal Justice Coordinating Committee include providing for a better understanding of crime and criminal justice problems, greater cooperation among agencies and units of local government, clearer objectives and priorities, more effective resource allocation and better quality criminal justice programs. Taken together, these results can enhance criminal justice system performance; and NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby authorizes the creation of the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED in accordance with the recommendation from the Jail Population Management Task Force, participation on the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council is voluntary. Membership is intended to include all justice system stakeholders, including representatives of the public.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council is charged with developing recommendations and plans to: (1) enhance the management of Oakland County's criminal justice population, including, but not limited to, issues related to utilization of jail space; (2) foster communication, cooperation and coordination toward developing a collaborative approach to the entire justice system operating within Oakland County; (3) provide more effective resource allocation and (4) improve the quality of criminal justice programs. 7L/ # o-m/yi g 9 ioner Hugh D. pfawford Distr. *-1/ Commissioner Alaine Zack District #22 .111n1 IkAAA-rr 4/7 (') Our AA- "luti`- Di5i-v, 1b tiLvi PaleA3iv‘ e BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Criminal Justice Coordinating Council shall submit its reports, findings and recommendations to Oakland County's elected officials, policymakers, criminal justice agencies and stakeholders for consideration.
