Eric J. Lundell introduced Kevin Hamlin as St. Croix County's Crime Data Analyst. He states Kevin will be working in the St. Croix County Sheriff's Department and assisting the CJCC as needed. BUSINESS ITEMS 1. Treatment Alternatives & Diversion Grant (TAD) Update Mike O'Keefe, CJCC Coordinator, reports no requests for a reimbursement from the TAD Grant have been made to date. This request is made on a quarterl y basis. He also went over the final budget numbers for the 2017 TAD Grant. There was a balance of $11,000 left in the TAD Grant for unencumbered funds. This was due to high estimates on staff benefits and urinalysis testing for Diversion Program participants. Mike O'Keefe states the WI Department of Justice is requiring TAD Grant Programs to take any funds collected in their programs and use them to support the program budget. This request is under review with the new TAD Program Manager, Molly Boss, for a more specific interpretation. RESULT: DISCUSSED 2. CJCC Citizen Member Update Mike O'Keefe, CJCC Coordinator states the CJCC Citizen Member vacancy was posted on the County's website and we had what appeared to be a very qualified individual interested, Robert Feidler. The Hon. Eric J. Lundell will interview Mr. Fiedler and if he approves will bring his name forward for approval to this position at the CJCC Council meeting in March 8, 2018. Since this is a midterm appointment the CJCC bylaws allow the Presiding Judge/Chair to make the recommendation for appointment. RESULT: DISCUSSED 3. OWI Track - Adult Drug Court Update The Hon. R. Michael Waterman was not available to discuss this agenda item. It was tabled and will be placed on the next agenda for the CJCC Executive Subcommittee meeting. RESULT: NO ACTION Next: 3/21/2018 11:00 AM 4. CJCC Bylaws Draft Revisions Mike O'Keefe, CJCC Coordinator, reports that he met with Kate Avoles to discuss and recommend changes to the bylaws subcommittee. Before these changes are recommended to the bylaws subcommittee it might be helpful to make sure they align with our future subcommittee needs with respect to membership, quorums, attendance, and vacancies. This may be an issue for discussion at our next strategic planning session. Judge Lundell states this should be referred back to the bylaws subcommittee to draft a document that we can review and approve at our next Executive Subcommittee meeting and then review at the strategic planning meeting. RESULT: DISCUSSED 5. CJCC Subcommittee(s) Review Fred Johnson, Health and Human Services Director gave an update on the CJCC Mental Health Subcommittee. He states they are focused on three goals and the focus will continue to be to lobby the State for detention beds in our geographic area. Kevin Hamlin, Crime Data Analyst, gave a summary of a report he developed reviewing emergency detention transportation costs for the Sheriff's Office as well local police departments. He states that he will continue to refine this report so it will be ready for review by other entities. Mike O'Keefe, CJCC Coordinator, gave an update on other subcommittees and the need to review their overall progress. He states that some of the subcommittees struggle with bringing the right people to the table and defining their mission/goals. Mike O'Keefe would like to review the overall structure of the CJCC Subcommittees at the next CJCC strategic planning meeting. RESULT: DISCUSSED 6. CJCC Substance Abuse/Trauma Informed Care Subcommittee Review Roger Larson, St. Croix County Supervisor and Chair, discussed the need to address the drug, alcohol and foster care issues in our communities. Judge Lundell agreed this should be the focus of the Substance Abuse/Trauma Informed Care Subcommittee. Mike O'Keefe, CJCC Coordinator suggested that maybe we should take the Trauma Informed Care oversight away from this group because it is an overarching theme. The Health and Human Services Department has made significant progress in this area. Judge Lundell states this should be discussed at the CJCC strategic planning session. RESULT: DISCUSSED REQUEST FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Judge Lundell would like the OWI Track within the Adult Drug Court on the next agenda as well as planning for the CJCC strategic planning meeting.
