forward it to the Executive Board for signatures.
- Budget and holdback
information
- Director Reinke told
us that the Governor announced that most state agencies will be hit with
a possible 10-12% cuts.
Exceptions to those agencies include SDEducation, DJC, DOC and ISP. $300000 increases in block grant funds
is being recommended by the Governor.
Also, the Governor is recommending holding the counties harmless
with the holdbacks. Mike Stallcup
expressed appreciation to the Director in helping ease the impact on the
counties.
- Tracking of Illegal
Aliens and DSO compliance
- Roch, Larry and Sharon
are working on data from the individual detention centers. A copy of part of the JJDPA outlining
the data requirements was passed out.
Illegal aliens should not be held in secure detention.
- As far as the state’s
overall DSO compliance with the JJDPA, we are doing well. We are allowed roughly 100-102
violations per year, we are consistently at 40-50.
- NJDA Conference Host
Committee requirements
- Steve is waiting to
hear back from NJDA concerning this item.
- FFT
- The state is planning
to release some juveniles early to an FFT program. Paul and Bill will be getting
information to us concerning this.
We would like to be included in the planning stages of this
program.
- Implementation of the
plan will have to be different in the various areas of the state, because
of the vast differences throughout the state.
- The goal is to put
about 80 kids in the program.
- Cost containment
proposals
- In a previous meeting,
we committed to participate in a committee on discussing the cost
containment proposals. At this
point, there is no activity there.
- The state is
supporting legislation to lower the age of extended jurisdiction,
excluding sex offenders, from age 21 to 19. The question was raised that in the situation where a
juvenile commits a crime prior to his/her 18th birthday, and
is dropped from DJC’s custody at age 19, can still be on probation until
the age of 21, then the county probation department cannot recommit to
DJC’s custody based on the juvenile case after their 19th
birthday..
- Other items
- IAC Meeting on
February 5. The Executive Board
of the IACJJA is scheduled to do a presentation. Also, the topic of shared employees
will be addressed at the meeting.
