Editor’s Note:
   On November 4, 2003, the electorate adopted Proposition I, which designated new provisions as Chapter 20, Article IV. Because Article IV already existed, the editor has codified Proposition I as Chapter 20, Article V, Sections 20.53-100 through 20.53-107.

SEC. 20.50. DELINQUENCY PREVENTION COMMISSION; ESTABLISHMENT; COMPOSITION; PURPOSE.

   Pursuant to the provisions of Section 233 of the Welfare and Institutions Code of the State of California, there is hereby established a Delinquency Prevention Commission ("Commission") composed of 11 citizens, to coordinate the work of those governmental and nongovernmental organizations engaged in activities designed to prevent juvenile delinquency within the City and County of San Francisco. Each individual Supervisor on the Board of Supervisors shall appoint one commissioner to the Commission through the Rules Committee.

   The Commission is to review and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors ("Board") on possible legislative and budgetary actions regarding: (1) the coordination of City agencies and community-based organizations aimed at the prevention of juvenile delinquency; (2) the allocation of City, state and federal funding for the prevention of juvenile delinquency; (3) programmatic changes to improve the cost-effectiveness and quality of care programs and services; and (4) any other matters pertaining to the prevention of juvenile delinquency referred to it by the Board.

The Commission shall have at least five members who have advanced degrees or at least five-years experience in: (1) law enforcement or criminal justice, (2) social services, (3) mental health, (4) education, and (5) physical health, respectively. At least two of the remaining members of the Commission shall be persons between the ages of 14 and 21 years of age. Upon a vacancy occurring in the membership of the Commission and upon the expiration in the term of office of any member a successor shall be appointed by the Board of Supervisors.

Editor’s Note:
   This article, as adopted by the electorate on November 4, 2003, was designated Chapter 20, Article IV, Sections 20.100 through 20.107. Because that article and those section numbers were already occupied by other legislation, the editor has designated these provisions as Article III, Sections 20.53-100 through 20.53-107.
