BUSINESS ITEMS
1. Community Justice Collaborating Council Substance Abuse Subcommittee Work
Plan-St. Croix County Drug Use Data
Children Services (CS) Administrator Julie Krings reported that CS is now collecting data
on drug types, including alcohol and vaping, when investigating Child Protection
Services (CPS) reports. She will review data collected with this group in 3 months and
quarterly moving forward.
Sheriff Knudson reports that Investigator Justin Johnson is working with their office
manager to update St. Croix County data collection codes that are used when
recording the drug type during an arrest. They are getting very close to completing
the updates and now need to get the other agencies updated and ready to
implement. Sheriff Knudson hopes to have more information by next month's
meeting regarding the status of the agencies countywide roll out.
The subcommittee also reviewed the consumer self - reported data that St. Croix
County Behavioral Health collects with their outpatient admissions. The
subcommittee then discussed the plans for the use of this data once collected as well
as other data sources that this subcommittee should consider. This information/data
may be of good to use for grant applications and identify which drugs to focus on
for early intervention when starting outreach.
Other potential sources of data suggested were:
* Other area providers of AODA services; Kristin will follow up on this.
* Emergency room/hospital data; individual hospital data may be difficult to obtain
as they have different diagnostic codes, Fred will follow up with the Wisconsin
Hospital Association on the cost and type of data we could access through them.
* Tracking of Narcan use report; Sheriff Knudson will follow up with Emergency
Medical Services(EMS).
* Type of arrest data; Fred has data from Lieutenant Brent Standaert and Chief
Deputy Borgschatz and will bring to the next meeting.
* Student survey from schools; these survey's are done in odd years so Kelli will
follow up on this.
* Medical Examiner; Kelli has access to the information as well, but is still checking
on if the data/cause of death is available in a report style. She will reach out to
medical examiners office as well.
* Provider to patient ratio data from New Richmond Community Health Action Team
(CHAT) may be a resource and Kelli will follow up on this.
RESULT: DISCUSSED
2. Community Justice Collaborating Council Substance Abuse Subcommittee Work
Plan-Mapping of St. Croix County Substance Abuses Prevention and Early
Intervention Services
Kelli Engen and Kristin Deprey provided a draft of the survey they have been working on.
Feedback was provided by the subcommittee members. Suggestions were mainly to
provide some definitions on programs and terms as well as to collapse questions into
more open ended questions. Kelli and Kristin will make these edits and then plan to
send it out via Survey Monkey to schools, hospitals and other service providers to see
what other programs are currently going on.
They will provide an update at the next meeting.
RESULT: DISCUSSED
3. Community Justice Collaborating Council Substance Abuse Subcommittee Work
Plan-St. Croix County Substance Abuse Survey
Kimberly Kitzberger shared drafts of the survey that she, Phillip Galli and Alicia Duven are
working on. She informed the group that they hope to add a demographics section,
work on the language and flow, as well as add questions on community resource
accessibility. Subcommittee members should feel free to review this and provide any
feedback. They will continue to make updates, but once in final draft form they will
submit to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Wisconsin River Falls
(UWRF). Prior to submittal to the IRB a letter from the full Community Justice
Collaborating Council Committee will be requested, sanctioning this survey.
Once approved by IRB they plan to roll out a small pilot of the survey to the recovery
community to help determine if any additional editing needs to be made as well as
determining where their focus of implementation/distribution should be. An informed
consent form will be given prior to giving consumers the survey. The completed
paper survey's would be housed under lock and key and once data complied, they
would be destroyed.
Discussion had on funding options to roll out this survey, initially it would require an
approximate budget of $1000 for paper and copy costs. Chair Johnson and CJCC
Coordinator Mike O'Keefe will look into funding for this.
RESULT: DISCUSSED
4. Substance Abuse Prevention, Education, and Early Intervention Resources
The subcommittee reviewed the spreadsheet of resources and provided any updated or
additional information. This will be an ongoing process and will be updated as more
resources are learned about.
RESULT: DISCUSSED
5. Consideration of Intoxicated Driver Intervention Program as a Priority for the
Community Justice Collaborating Council Substance Abuse Subcommittee
At the Community Justice Collaborating Council's full meeting in December, this agenda
item was proposed by Judge Needham as a priority. This would involve requiring
offenders to participate in the Intoxicated Driver Improvement Program (IDIP) upon
receiving a 2nd Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), making them a little more
accountable for their actions and possibly lead to change and or treatment. CJCC
Coordinator Mike O'Keefe believes this to be a need and a worthwhile program to
pursue, but needs backing by the District Attorney's office.
Offenders participating in the IDIP may reduce jail time as well as the fines connected to
the OWI, though they would still sit a minimum of 10 days. There are different ways to
implement this program and each program seems to vary a bit. Kathleen Avoles will
gather information from other counties that have IDIP's and share with the group at next
meeting. Sheriff Knudson believes it is worth looking into and will gather statistics on
the number of 2nd, 3rd and 4th OWI numbers for St. Croix County.
Consensus of the Subcommittee is to gather more information on IDIP and bring it
back for further review and discussion.
Chair Johnson asked the subcommittee to remember open meeting rules so be
careful of information sharing. Please get anything to Fred or Colleen and it can be
put on the next agenda.
RESULT: DISCUSSED
REQUEST FOR FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
