Members of the Justice Project Oversight and Planning Committee used the Nov. 20 meeting to outline priorities for 2026, emphasizing stronger data systems, routine public reporting, regular lived‑experience input and targeted workgroups to produce actionable recommendations.

Committee members said the current analysis exposed gaps in local data collection and reporting. Multiple participants urged the creation of a public data dashboard to track metrics such as length of stay, bail amounts, recidivism and program outcomes for diversion and therapeutic courts.

Several members recommended a standing requirement for lived‑experience representation and urged the committee to fill a vacant lived‑experience seat; the group also discussed a youth seat with pending applicants. Panel discussions that include people with lived experience were described as a high‑priority activity for 2026.

Members suggested using small workgroups with charters and timelines to convert concepts into agreements that survive administrative change. Committee members also asked the executive’s office to publish implementation timelines and milestone reports to increase transparency and enable public accountability.

Marty and other staff said the committee will collect feedback on the IPRTF year‑end report and the executive office’s quarterly materials ahead of a final approval process in December; the committee also plans to review SIM mapping results and integrate data follow‑ups into its action plan.
