Rafael Solorzano provides the Committee with two handouts. The first one is from Boys and <br />Men of Color, entitled: "Toward a Restorative Constitution: A Restorative Justice Answer to <br />Gang Injunctions." The second handout is a policy brief from The Chief Justice Earl Warren <br />Institute on Law and Social Policy, entitled: "The Consequences Of Structural Racism, <br />Concentrated Poverty And Violence On Young Men And Boys of Color." Solorzano states that <br />the solution is not to criminalize and lock up these young men and women, but begin a process <br />of building a sense of community within the neighborhoods. Public safety officials do need to <br />do their job and deal with individuals who commit violence without demonizing an entire <br />generation of youth whose only crime is living in the wrong place at the wrong time. Create <br />collaborative efforts between law enforcement and our youth. <br />AGENDAITEMS <br />1.

Equity JPA Update <br />An update on the JPA Equity agreement was given by OCFA Division Chief Scott Brown. This <br />was approved by the City Council at their last meeting. Agreement ensures the long term <br />stability of the Orange County Fire Authority and fire services: the fire department, paramedics, <br />and EMS services in this city as well as throughout the county. Chief Brown thanks the <br />Committee Members for supporting the OCFA as a regional fire service. In the spirit of <br />transparency, the OCFA website features a monthly report where people can get detailed <br />information on fire services, events, etc. that happen within the city and for the city. Chief <br />Brown provides his phone number if anyone has a question for him. Finally, there is a customer <br />satisfaction survey that is on the web and also sent out to those who request services. This is a <br />unique tool used by the OCFA and the City Council to hear about not only the good things being <br />done, but also any areas that need to be addressed for growth. <br />13B -4 <br />
