5. Intros/Agency updates
   a. CPS (Greenwood) – Asst. Corporation Counsel position posted – recent person hired didn’t work out. This person would focus on CHIPs/TPRs. CPS is fully staffed now. Case numbers are continuing to rise.
   b. DA’s Office (Eklund/Spoentgen) – Given a half-attorney position by State. Not really feasible at filling the position given the constraints on the funding. Also a child sexual assault was dismissed by a judge for not putting a DOB in a complaint. Currently looking into appeal w/ DOJ.
   c. Board (Rego) – new elections. Upcoming appointments to committees, but that’s forthcoming. 
   d. Hope House (Sathasivam) – Shelter is very full. Had a recent resignation, so looking to add a person.
   e. DOC (Rosciszewski) – down 4 spots right now (so about half of the office). Columbia County is taking some Sauk cases. Billie Jo is now supervising non-sex-offender. Uptick in overdoses. Uptick in cases. Apparently now all SO treatment is going to be via Zoom. 
6. Update from SART/DVRT:
   a. SART – had 1 meeting. Looking to frame what SART is going to look like going forward. Looked to have one in April, but unable to meet. Then unable to meet in May due to quorum issues. Now set for 6/22 @ 1P.
   b. DVRT – hard to add groups when people are struggling to attend. Haven’t set a meeting.
      i. Greenwood notes that she’s planning to have Melanie Sommerfield take the lead on the DVRT.
      ii. Issue concerning whether the sub-groups still have to meet quorum. Spoentgen notes he requested that Hanson and Mathis request formal opinion from Desmond. Will check again.
   c. Forensic Alliance – Forensic room:
      i. Equipment in place – test recording going to send video clip to Spoentgen to review so that we can ensure court admissibility.
      ii. Already in use for some interviews.
      iii. Also got grant funding for a smart board.

7. Trends/Concerns:
   a. Drug endangered children (DEC) MOU – Issues needing to be resolved with fine details in the language. DA Albrecht and Spoentgen had issues with fine details in the language as did Capt. Sinden from BPD. Should be able to resolved by the end of summer (hopefully).
   b. Need to do a new MOU w/ law enforcement. Spoentgen suggests that Greenwood email this MOU to DA Albrecht and Spoentgen to ensure we don’t run into another fine-language issue.

11. Next Meeting date: 8/17/22 at 3PM – Motion by Rego, Second by Sathasivam. – Adjourn at 3:31PM


Respectfully submitted,

Rick Spoentgen
