A voice vote taken and minutes approved. Public Comment: No Public Comment Agenda Items: 1) Report on Residential Options in St. Croix County for Person on Supervised Release Chair Rohl reviewed the list of properties for sale with the Committee. There are approximately six properties that meet the initial criteria, the Committee reviewed the properties online and tried to determine which properties were the best option to move ahead with based on the known needs and criteria. Once the S checks for proximity of children in the area and approves the properties, the list is sent to the vendors for their review. The Committee members discussed the need to look at the property to check for handicap accessibility before even adding it to the list. Steve Kirt and a social worker will go out with the realtor and check accessibility. Kirt will drive by and view the potential property and let Rohl know his thoughts, based on his feedback she will inform local law enforcement to check the property. In the interest of time, but also keeping within open meetings law, Chair Rohl will inform the Committee members via email on the outcome of the property that the Committee determined the best option with which to move forward. If necessary, the committee may convene in closed session pursuant to Wis. Stats. §19.85(1)(f). No closed session 2) Discuss vendor options In reaching out to the vendors, two said they were interested in potentially purchasing a home, but would want to be informed as to the amount of upgrading that would be needed. Once a property is determined, the state would pursue with one vendor and see what they agree to. When a closing date is within 30 days, a release plan for the client is sent to the courts and then client is placed. Kirt reported on results of his reaching out to several landlords of the rental properties. One property has sold, one landlord said no, and others just are not interested. 3) Discuss law enforcement report/involvement Chair Rohl will check with law enforcement to see the best way to educate local police and Sheriffs on the history of offender, the monitoring that will be in place, and how to best handle protest or push back from the communities. Once a property choice is made, and plans are in place for the client to move in, DHSsends an informative alert to Sheriffs who determine how much information to provide to the community. An educational meeting can be held with 4) 980 Committee Meeting Schedule: The group determined to allow time for follow up work to be done that the meetings would be scheduled every 2 weeks unless something urgent comes up.
