The Yolo County Juvenile Justice Commission is hereby designated the "Yolo County Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission." The Commission is authorized to act as a delinquency prevention commission in addition to serving as the local juvenile justice commission. In its capacity as a delinquency prevention commission, its duties and responsibilities shall include coordinating on a countywide basis the work of governmental and nongovernmental organizations engaged in activities designed to prevent juvenile delinquency, consistent with related provisions of California law (including but not limited to Welfare & Institutions Code sections 225-230 and 233). (§ 2, Ord. 1536, eff. August 12, 2021)

The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission shall follow all applicable provisions of state law and any adopted bylaws in matters of membership, administration, and operations, including but not limited to the qualifications and terms of members, member removal, election of officers, matters of meeting quorums and administration, and all other related matters. The Yolo Superior Court is the appointing authority pursuant to state law and, consequently, Yolo County policies governing advisory boards, commissions, and committees shall not apply. (§ 2, Ord. 1536, eff. August 12, 2021)

In carrying out its duties as a local delinquency prevention commission, the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission shall recognize and afford deference to the Juvenile Justice Coordinating Council on matters primarily or exclusively within its authority, as set forth in Title 2, Article 39 of the Yolo County Code and related provisions of state law, including but not limited to Welfare & Institutions Code section 749.22.
