Executive Committee of the Community Justice Collaborating Council Regular Meeting December 17, 2020 12:00 PM Minutes of December 17, 2020 was accepted as presented. RESULT: ACCEPTED PUBLIC COMMENT BUSINESS ITEMS 1. CJCC and Treatment Alternatives & Diversion Financial Review Mike O'Keefe, CJCC Coordinator, gave an update on the 2021 CJCC and TAD budgets. He states the 2020 TAD grant was modified at the end in an effort to encumber unspent funding. The modification was approved by the WI Department of Justice (DOJ). This approval allowed the Treatment Courts to purchase iPads for the entire team in an effort to reduce paper costs and make sharing information about offenders more secure. RESULT: DISCUSSED 2. Treatment Alternatives & Diversion (TAD) Grant 2021 Update Mike O'Keefe, CJCC Coordinator, discussed the current 2021 Treatment Alternatives & Diversion (TAD) grant. He states they are very early in the process, but we should still be thinking about the upcoming 2022-27 TAD grant that will be released for competition this summer. Kimberly Kitzberger, Treatment Court Coordinator, states the WI Department of Justice (DOJ) just announced that TAD grant funding in 2021 can be used to help offset costs of residential treatment for offenders who fall under the TAD statute. We will not receive additional funding and current funds must be used through an approved modification request. This would ultimately save some county resources. RESULT: DISCUSSED 3. 2022 TAD Grant Workgroup Update Judge Needham discussed the Treatment Alternatives & Diversion grant workgroup he assigned at the last CJCC Council meeting. He states St. Croix County should attempt to submit a grant that is unique and outlines the progress we have made in the past five years of the last grant cycle. RESULT: DISCUSSED 4. Justice System Improvement Workgroup Update Judge Needham discussed the Justice Systems Improvement Task Force he assigned at the last CJCC meeting. He would like this group to look at available services offered to defendants/offenders and see if there is a way we can bring all of these under one umbrella and create a more independent model for the County. RESULT: DISCUSSED 5. CJCC Council Meeting Agenda Items for March 18, 2021 Proposed agenda items for the next CJCC meeting on March 18, 2021; 1.)
