Subcommittee Updates:

Court Case Information/Data Collection System chaired by Scott Alexander; update given by chair.  Committee reports that they have been collecting data on Operating after Revocation cases/charges in Sauk County and the drain these cases pose to resources.  J. Krueger presents a short synopsis of the committee’s proposal for an Operating after Revocation Diversion Program.  The council has specific questions, additions, and modifications they would like to see put in place before moving forward.  These changes will be made and the outline will be presented in February for approval to move forward. 
 

Court Management chaired by Deb O’Rourke, update given by chair. Committee continues to discuss the drain of resources that FTA cases have in Sauk County.  The subcommittee is working with CCAP and Protect to evaluate whether the new changes to CCAP will negate the need for an outside vendor to provide the automated reminder calls.
