The Buncombe County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council approved a youth member and recorded a district attorney designee during its Dec. 18 meeting.
Hannah Legerton told the council that Eliza Jackson, a 17‑year‑old high‑school senior, had confirmed interest in serving as the youth member and had been reviewed by staff. The council approved Jackson by acclamation following a second and voice assent. The council noted youth seats are commonly one‑year terms to accommodate school schedules.
Council members also noted that Katie Curtis has been identified as the District Attorney designee following David Denninger’s departure from the DA’s office; Curtis’s participation will require formalization through JCPC and Buncombe County Board of Commissioners approval.
These membership updates were handled as routine business; staff will complete any necessary formal applications and forward materials to the Board of Commissioners for final confirmation where required.
