Communications:

Introductions
Department Updates

District Attorney Office:  R. Spoentgen updates the committee on the federal grant that was applied for as a collaboration between the DA, Hope House, and Sheriff’s Department.  Additionally, Rick will be applying to have Miriam Falk conduct training in the Sauk County area.  It is recommended that applying as a joint applicant with possibly some adjunct counties would increase our chances. 
Human Service:  B. Bishop reports that he should be able to provide elder abuse and vulnerable adult abuse statistical data at the next meeting.
Hope House: E. Allen reports that February and teen dating violence awareness month and March is sexual assault awareness month.  Ellen reports that historically this group has participated in different educational and awareness campaigns and that staff would likely be reaching out shortly to illicit volunteers.  The committee is interested in receiving a calendar of events and Ellen reports that staff will send that out when it is complete. 
Jill Poarch with Sauk Prairie HealthCare reports that the Rural Wisconsin HealthCare Cooperative is hosting a roundtable that is open to those interested in attending.  This will be held on April 20, 2017 at 1:00 PM in Sauk Prairie.  Jill asks that those interested in attending reach out to her so she can ensure that they are prepared to accommodate those interested.  A topic that may be of interest is the Crime Victims Compensation funds and information regarding this topic will be discussed.

 

Handouts:

Racine County SART Case Review
Racine County SART Confidentiality Form
Sensitive Crimes Response Team Charges

 

 

Discussion on Name Change:

Committee discusses the pros and cons to a name change including the concern of potentially running into problems with grants if the name isn’t encompassing enough of sexual assault.  E. Allen reports that many groups across Wisconsin have many different names; however, R. Spoentgen and Hope House will inquire with End Abuse Wisconsin and WICASA and report back to the group next month.  Motion by Posewitz, second by Pichler, to postpone any recommended name change until the next meeting.  Motion carried. 

 

 

 

Discussion on Regular Date/Time:

Committee discusses having their meeting on the first Tuesday of each month; however, there is conflict in both March and April due to trainings.  The committee will postpone this decision.  Motion by Poarch, second by Posewitz, to postpone decision until the next meeting.  Motion carried.

 

Motion by Posewitz, second by Hoffman, to postpone discussion on committee charges.  Motion carried.

 

Discussion on Case Review Format:

Committee discusses the documents from Racine County including the need or lack of need for two confidentiality agreements as used in the Child Death Review Team.  R. Spoentgen along with help from others will modify the forms to fit Sauk County and seek legal input from Corporation Council on the need to duplicate confidentiality agreements and present that information at the next meeting.  Motion by Posewitz, second by Bishop, to postpone action on recommending adoption of these forms to the CJCC until the next meeting.  Motion carried. 

 

Motion by Poarch, second by Bishop, to move into closed session to discuss confidential case review information.  Motion carried.

 

Motion by Posewitz, second by Hoffman, to reconvene in open session.  Motion carried.
