Doug talked to Patty Tobias for clarification about testifying before legislators. Patty stated that she felt the court should take the lead in those matters. Doug suggested that we keep in close contact with our magistrate judges so we stay in sync with each other, and do not conflict. She would also like to get a copy of our minutes.

It was discussed that the IAC plans to go forward with proposed legislation to place detention under the county commissioner’s jurisdiction.

Steve Jett sent so things for Doug to share with us on the JJTA training. This is a 2 ½ day training seminar to train trainers to conduct the 40 hour training for Juvenile Careworkers JJTA will come to Idaho (Boise) to train the trainers. There will be 20 openings. Steve will get information out to all. The cost to the participating centers will be minimal, about $85 for the participant’s manual, and costs of housing and feeding the trainers. We now need to pick a period in April or early May that will include Sunday through Tuesday classes. Please contact Steve at 454-7353 with the number of trainers that you will be sending. Dates will be announced soon.

Debbie brought up training being put on by ICRMP on "Putting the Brakes on Prohibited Staff/Inmate Contact" that is being put on around the state. She stated it is very good training for not only Sheriff’s Dept but Juvenile Detention and Probation. Mike will get the schedule a pass out later in the meeting.

John Triplett- 5 day detention reimbursement position of DJC was discussed. What John was told verbally and what has been but in writing seem to be different, some clarification is needed. Bill Lasley handed out a Draft from DJC explaining their position. Suggestions were given to Bill on the draft that he will take back to DJC. There is a need for clarification. It was suggested that DJC meet with Administrators over detention due the fact both agencies are affected.

Doug bought up agenda from last DJC/IACJJA meeting. Issues:

1. They need complete packets when juvenile are committed
2. They need police reports on all cases
3. They need a victims lists and impact statements
4. They would like input from JPO’s on placements
5. They would like JPO’s to be patient on stalls in treatment. ie if JPO’s think juvenile is not doing well in a placement be patient and give DJC time to work with those juveniles
6. They have concern that some counties are not doing aftercare.

We discussed having a representative at DJC providers meeting in Boise Doug said he would attend
