April Committee Report:

Drug Court Case Manager interviews completed offer being made this week.

Standing Committee Updates:

Adult Justice Systems:  Continue to review a bail monitoring program. Some expressed concerns against having formal bail monitoring unless it is the only thing that will result in the individual being released from jail.  Concern over information gathering that would occur – goes against grain of defense counsel training.  But, avoiding lengthy pretrial detention is beneficial

Proxy appears to be doing what it’s supposed to do.  We have had a number of days with no bail hearing the past month, compared to very few days of no bail hearings in all of 2016.

Drug Court Subcommittee: Incorporating alcohol offenders working on best way to assimilate alcohol addicted into current court structure; many agencies cannot commit more than the ½ day already allotted for court time. 

Drug Court- No name change to Sauk County Adult Treatment Court and Treatment Court Subcommittee, until Policies and Procedures established.

CCR/SAR Team:  Motion by Strunz to adopt proposed rosters and structure submitted in handout second by Hanson.  Motion carried.  I-Team still information.

Name change tabled.                    

Juvenile Justice Systems:  Many training and grant opportunities were forwarded to Jeff; committee discussing programming: Truancy and truancy diversion, formation of teen court, possible grant for juvenile drug court.

System Mapping: Working through WI EBDM- making sure have right people there for decision points discussed. Decided to have representative of agency involved in decision point for each meeting prepare summary.

Data Collection: Telephone conference with Eau Claire County Criminal Justice Coordinator- Key to data collection is to determine results wanted; select data to demonstrate the expectations/goals for every program.  Committees and subcommittees tasked with identifying goals and data needed to determine if goals being met.  Current jail software may be discontinued in the future.
