Purpose

TO AUTHORIZE THE CREATION OF ONE (1) FULL-TIME CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAMS MANAGER AND ONE (1) FULL-TIME CASE MANAGER FOR THE SAUK COUNTY CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING COUNCIL REPLACING PROJECT POSITIONS EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2019

Background

The Criminal Justice Programs Manager (formerly Criminal Justice Coordinator) position was created as a project position by the Administrative Coordinator in 2015 to develop and implement programs for the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. This was a recommendation of the Justice Continuum in 2014 and the project position was approved by the Personnel committee in January 2014.

Resolution Body

During the project period (2014 – 2018) the Criminal Justice Programs Manager has worked closely with the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) and sub-committees to effectuate change within Sauk County’s criminal justice system. The Programs Manager has developed and revised policies, offered guidance on best practices, applied for grant opportunities, monitored the budget, and supervised program staff. This position improves the effectiveness and efficiency of the CJCC and relevant programs.
Resolution 25-16 created a project Drug Court Case Coordinator position to facilitate case management for the Drug Court. Based on program growth between 2016 and 2018, this position continues to be a vital part of (now) Adult Treatment Court operations. Eliminating this position would restrict the number of participants who could receive services through Adult Treatment Court
