Community Engagement Subcommittee of the Community Justice Collaborating Council Regular Meeting November 10, 2016 9:15 AM Minutes of November 10, 2017 were accepted. RESULT: ACCEPTED PUBLIC COMMENT BUSINESS ITEMS 1. Judicial Visit to Lincoln Hills and Copper Lake - March 24, 2017 Discussion was held on the visit to Lincoln Hills School and Copper Lake School by Judge Lundell. He chose to visit these schools as part of the Judicial Education program. RESULT: DISCUSSED 2. Eau Claire County - 180 Program Michelle Leccia gave an update on the 180 Program in Eau Claire for juvenile placements. To utilize this resource it must be approved by the Health and Human Services Board. It then would be referred to the full County Board for final approval. Steve T'Kach makes a motion to have a speaker from the 180 Program give a presentation to the CJCC Council at the next meeting. Kate Avoles seconds the motion. Carried unanimously RESULT: DISCUSSED 3. Juvenile Justice Issues Discussion was held on juvenile justice issues, specifically the 17 year old legislation to move them back into the juvenile system. Many counties are in support of this, but would like appropriate funding to follow if it happens. Michelle Leccia states the WI Department of Corrections (DOC) is no longer in charge of juvenile justice, Children and Families have the lead on this. Juvenile Justice is now Youth Justice. Discussion was held on juvenile validated risk assessments. Sheriff John Shilts discussed gang activity in the metro areas and states we don't seem to have those kinds of issues in St. Croix or surrounding Counties. Michelle Leccia states that if the 17 year old legislation comes back around we should have a position on this issue. Sheriff John Shilts states the funding mechanism is the hold up on this issue and until that is resolved it probably won't gain much traction. He states we should put on the next CJCC agenda for further discussion. RESULT: DISCUSSED REQUEST FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Kate Avoles would like to have the expungement law on the next agenda. ANNOUNCEMENTS & CORRESPONDENCE ADJOURN Susan Capparelli adjourned the meeting at 12:55 p.m. DATE OF NEXT MEETING To be determined.
