Steering committee reviews ordinance-based change-control for Justice Project implementation plan
Summary
Committee members discussed the ordinance that makes the implementation plan Exhibit A to the Justice Project ordinance, noted required update cycles, and recommended a formal amendment process routed through the IPRTF and county council.
Steering committee members discussed how the Justice Project implementation plan must be amended under the ordinance that established the plan and the process the task force and executive should follow to request changes.
Barry (IPRTF steering committee member) said the team discovered that the implementation plan is "Exhibit A to the ordinance," and the ordinance creates a change-control process so changes are not made informally. Barry described the ordinance as requiring a deliberate public process for substantive changes, including an ordinance, public hearing and council action.
Jill (staff member) told the committee she circulated additional statutory references and a suggested process by email, describing who would initiate amendments, who would review proposed amendments and who would approve them. Committee members asked staff to circulate those materials to steering committee members for review.
Barry summarized the ordinance's timing requirements for updates: a spending-plan analysis every two years and a broader content update every five years; both updates are to be coordinated by the executive in collaboration with the task force and the law and justice council, as written in the ordinance. The committee discussed retaining a formal record of requested changes so that revisions can be considered together when the plan is formally updated.
