LAKEPORT – The Lake County Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission invites the public to attend a commission meeting on Thursday, July 16.

The public forum will be held at a regularly scheduled commission meeting beginning at 12:15 p.m. in the third floor conference room C in the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.

The Lake County Juvenile Justice Commission was established through the provisions of section #225 of the California State Welfare and Institutions Code.

The Lake County Board of Supervisors adopted County Ordinance 1103 in September of 1979, designating the Commission for the County of Lake.

Details of the Commissions bylaws describe one of the Commission’s roles as to “inquire into the administration of the juvenile court law in Lake County” and to coordinate the work of the community agencies engaged in delinquency prevention programs and to initiate such programs to fill any unmet needs.

Additionally the Commission may inspect all publicly administered juvenile facilities, including the juvenile hall as well as any county jail that has been reported to have held a minor for more than 24 hours in the previous year.

The commission is also directed to inspect at their discretion, group homes and other related juvenile facilities.

There are currently six vacancies on the 15-person board that the commission would like to fill.

Youths between the ages of 14 and 21 are encouraged to attend and inquire as to a commission position. The commission is also looking to fill four vacant adult seats.
