CJC Job Expectations:  Expectations of Criminal Justice Coordinator were reviewed.  Discussion revolved around review of job description.

2015 ADCPI Training:  Discussion of 2015 ADCPI training opportunity. This training would require one three day commitment and two, (2) two day commitments from the list of mandated council members.  J. Krueger applied for training opportunity with the council’s approval knowing that if we are picked we will have an opportunity to “back out” if the training dates cannot be committed to.  This is a six month training opportunity focused on building an evidence based drug court program with the help of the National Drug Court Institute and Bureau of Justice Assistance.  ADCPI will pick ten jurisdictions and notification will be given on or before December 12, 2014.

Vision and Mission Statement: Vision and mission statements of other CJCC’s from around Wisconsin and Minnesota were reviewed.  A “working” or draft vision and mission statement were created.  Working vision and mission on statements will be disseminated to the council for review over the next four weeks.  The council will decide on finalized mission and vision statement at the next council meeting.

Subcommittees:  The council discussed the role of subcommittees in driving the goals and objectives of the council.  Subcommittees agree to meet a minimum of one time before the next council meeting.  The subcommittees will present updated information at the next council meeting. Chairs are appointed by K. Calkins with agreement of the council.  The subcommittees are:
