CJCC Executive/Operations Committee recommends three priorities for 2026 to full CJCC
Summary
The committee recommended goals 1, 2 and 4 — operational planning with the county, restoring judiciary and law chair participation, and securing grant funding for CJCC programs — to the full CJCC; members endorsed marketing outreach for Project Hope and discussed data‑and‑evaluation limits.
The CJCC Executive/Operations Committee voted to recommend three draft priorities for 2026 to the full CJCC: (1) undertake operational planning with the county to catalog services for budget decisions, (2) ensure key stakeholders — including restoring judiciary and law chair membership — participate as voting members, and (4) secure grant funding to sustain established CJCC programs such as law‑enforcement deflection and family treatment court supports.
Sarah (CJCC staff) presented five initial focus areas and recommended narrowing them to three for full‑council consideration. She said last year the committee strengthened attendance and clarified that delegates may vote when members cannot attend. She recommended continued emphasis on sustaining grant streams (noting the approaching 2027 TAD opportunity) and on program evaluation where staff capacity allows. "So this coming year, we're embarking on an operational planning endeavor with the county," Sarah said, framing the work as a step to inform county budget decisions.
A committee member suggested using the city marketing staff to publicize Project Hope and CJCC services to increase public awareness. After discussion, a motion to recommend goals 1, 2 and 4 to the full CJCC was moved and seconded; committee members approved the recommendation by voice vote.
The committee agreed to forward the recommended priorities to the full CJCC for formal adoption and to continue working on grant sustainability and data capacity as staff resources permit.
