Proposition 36 Regional Coordinating Councils

Meeting Announcements/Agendas
Meeting Minutes

Community input and involvement are critical elements of the implementation of Proposition 36. The Alcohol and Drug Program Administration (ADPA) established the regional councils to identify and address issues of local concern and ensure communication between the community and the Proposition 36 Steering Committee. Due to the size of Los Angeles County, four separate councils were created to accommodate better participation.

The four regional coordinating councils are convened quarterly by ADPA in collaboration with the regional court coordinators. The councils review and discuss the implementation and operation of Proposition 36 and address issues specific to each local area. The councils are comprised of representatives from the local branches of Court, Public Defender, District Attorney, Probation, Parole, community assessment services center (CASC), Superior Court, community treatment providers and interested others. All meetings are open to the public.
