PUBLIC COMMENT
BUSINESS ITEMS
1. Review and Approve Treatment Alternatives & Diversion (TAD) Grant for 2018
Lisa Multhauf, Supervisor, Diversion Program, gave an update on the 2018 Treatment
Alternatives and Diversion (TAD) Grant that is due on October 12, 2017 to the WI
Department of Justice (DOJ). She states there is no increase in requested funding due to
restrictions. This is the 2nd year of a 5 year non competetive TAD grant cycle. We are
required to reapply on an annual basis to show we are making progress and meeting our
project goals. There is a payroll step increase factored into the TAD Grant request for the
Diverson Program Case Management Specialist and Adult Drug Court Program Support
Specialist positions. Kimberly Kitzberger, Supervisor/Coordinator, Adult Drug Court
(ADC), states due to start up costs in the TAD Grant from last year we are able to ask for
training funds in 2018 for the ADC Program Support Specialist position. Ms. Multhauf
states to cover the step increase for the Diverson Program Case Management Specialist in
2018 drug testing was reduced. The amount requested for drug testing will still be
adequate to meet the current demand. Ms. Multhauf provided the group with a
breakdown of current Diversion Program numbers. There are 8 pending referrals, 120 in
Diversion Program, with 100 Deferred Judgment of Convictions (DJOC), and of these
cases 62 are identified as TAD clients. Ms. Kitzberger states there are 13 offenders in
Adult Drug Court(ADC) and 6 pending referrals. Judge Waterman clarified that all
offenders in ADC are high risk according to current risk assessments. Judge Waterman
and Ms. Kitzberger gave an update on the proposed Operating While Intoxicated (OWI)
Track within the current ADC program. Fred Johnson discussed the potential for adding
another Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse (AODA) counselor position and this would have
to be brought to the County Board of Supervisors if needed. There was a motion by Pat
Thompson, second by Roger Larson to move forward with an OWI track within the ADC
Program. The motion was approved unanimously. This should be an agenda item at the
next CJCC Executive Subcommittee meeting as well as County budget, and Domestic
Violence Court update. It was announced there were 29 applicants for the new Data
Crime Analyst position that was recently advertised. There was a motion by Roger
Larson, second by Pat Thompson to approve the Treatment Alternatives (TAD) Grant
Application. The motion was approved unanimously.
