It also asked for a report on the development of a Justice Advisory Board.
In her motion calling for advancement in creating the new department, Kuehl hailed the work already done by the county to begin the process of revamping the justice system. But she said more steps are needed before the process can truly advance. “Unfortunately, as this hard work has progressed, it has become clear that standing up programs and housing advisory bodies through multiple departments has not integrated service delivery to the extent needed to achieve true justice reform,” the motion states. “The system that is meant to serve the most vulnerable becomes too cumbersome to deliver the integrated, holistic services that our county residents need.
