MCCC Advisory Board/Local Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council Meeting - September 18, 2025

The MCCC Advisory Board/Local Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council met on September 18, 2025, at 12:08 p.m. in Room T-260 of the City-County Building. The meeting was called to order by Chair Carlette Duffy, but due to a lack of quorum, votes were tabled. The board heard updates from the Marion County Community Corrections Executive Director and a presentation on a grant funding transfer request for the Indianapolis Veterans Court.

Discussion Items

• Marion County Community Corrections Updates: Executive Director Scott Hohl reported a current client count of 3,090 total, comprising 2,160 post-conviction electronic monitoring, 811 pretrial, and 119 at Duvall. He noted that numbers have remained stable between 3,000 and 3,200 for some time. Hohl highlighted a recent job and resource fair at Duvall with over 15 service providers and employers and over 120 residents and clients attending. The fair included wraparound services, driver's license assistance, and expungements. Two former clients provided encouragement, and a food truck was operated by a former Duvall resident. The event received positive media attention, though one attendee expressed disappointment at not securing a job immediately. Hohl also mentioned participating in a state legislative summer study session on budget cuts affecting probation and community corrections, and a new vendor reporting system to reduce unnecessary alerts and analyze device tampering trends.
• Indianapolis Veterans Court / IDOC Grant Funding Transfer Request: Court Coordinator Lyndsay Conner requested permission to transfer $17,000 from Series 300 (drug testing services) to Series 100 (probation officer salary and fringe). The request noted a discrepancy in the submitted document's total field (showing $12,000 instead of $17,000), which Conner said she would correct. The transfer is needed due to carryover funds from another grant covering drug testing expenses. The board tabled the vote pending quorum, but members indicated they would review the corrected documents.

Key Outcomes

• No votes taken: The board lacked quorum, so the August 21 meeting minutes and the grant funding transfer request were tabled. The transfer request will be considered at a future meeting once corrected documents are submitted.
• Next meeting: Scheduled for Thursday, October 16, 2025, at 12:00 p.m. in Room T-260 of the City-County Building.
