Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

We'll call to order the July meeting of the Marion County Community Corrections Advisory Board and Local Justice Reinvestment Advisory Council.

I am Judge Jeffrey Marshall of Marion Superior Court 31.

Per practice, I'd like everybody to go around and introduce themselves.

We'll start over here to my left.

Thank you.

And we do want to welcome uh Judge Rothenburg.

He is the newest member of both the advisory board and local JRAC pursuant to change in statute, which went into effect earlier this year.

First agenda item is consideration and approval of the June minutes.

They have been disseminated in advance of this meeting.

Is there any discussion of those minutes?

Do I hear a motion to approve?

We have a motion and second.

All those in favor?

Aye.

Any opposed.

Thank you.

Next agenda item is for a contract presentation from community corrections.

We have Ms.

Cantrell and Mr.

Garcia.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Um today I just have one contract to present to you today, and it's for Trinity, the food services that are currently at Duvall Residence Center.

So the contract expires uh September 19th of 2026, and we would like to renew it for another year, expiring September 19th, 2027.

Now I'm sure you probably have uh the papers on it too.

I wanted to show you that the prices uh did go up uh by 3.5 percent uh as far as the the the meals being served at DRC.

Those um those prices will be effective September 19th of 2026, the same day as the expiration to or the renewal.

Um it's going to increase the NTE to 1, 133,083, uh an increase of 596, 775,000 dollars, and that is what I am uh requesting uh to get your approval for today.

Are there any questions?

Are you gonna do it?

Are you gonna uh after one year?

Are you hanging out with it?

Yes, what's the sort of average residency at Duval?

Uh well, we have it as far as on the the price scale.

We have it going all the way up to 250 residents.

I think currently we have like around 150 or 140.

Yeah, 160 currently.

Yeah.

Any other questions?

And we'll welcome Ms.

DeBo and Mr.

Carr.

Hello.

Do I have a motion to approve the contract?

Second.

Second.

Any discussion.

All those in favor signify by saying aye.

Aye.

Any opposed?

Thank you.

It passes.

Thank you very much.

Next we have agency updates.

Mr.

Garcia will remain with us, and I do believe Deputy Director Gray is joining us as well.

Um actually, there's no uh agency updates.

Mr.

Hull can't be with us today.

Uh he's out of the office.

Um, I know at the uh next meeting he will have quite a few updates.

Uh we do have meetings between now and and our next meeting for the DB app.

Uh also um for uh women's work release at Dove.

Uh so there are meetings between now and next meeting.

Um, hopefully to uh finalize uh those two contracts.

But for today we have no uh agency updates.

I did want to ask a question as we're dealing with DOC grants and what's coming and what may not be coming.

Yes, and a question arose in a meeting of the general term about community transition programs.

Are there specific grant funding from DOC earmarked just for CTP inmates?

To my knowledge, yes.

That's what we've been told.

That's why we've been told that the number has been getting reduced.

Um I can't verify the exact amount, uh, but that that's part of the reason why the number keeps getting reduced.

And we do we actually do receive some of those funds as well.

I understood that.

By the August meeting, would we be in a position to know?

Well, yeah, we could probably figure you what they like the exact amount.

Just roughly, and how that would impact how many people were going to be able to have come in on CTP.

Now I have just noticed anecdotally that I'm getting more approvals for home detention while we're kind of flatlining on requests for work release.

So I just didn't know if that funding cut would affect that.

Yeah, yeah, I could we could figure that out for the next meeting.

Thank you.

I also have a question about that funding as well.

Um, given, of course, that the overall funds were right at seven million, and I know that was what the agency was applying for for the budget.

Um what how does that affect the budget?

I know you're probably in the process of um putting together your budget presentation.

Um, what does that look like for a community?

So I'm actually working currently with OFM trying to figure out exactly what that looks like.

Um we're not gonna lose anything.

I think a lot of the uh salaries is really what it's gonna come down to.

Character one in salaries uh is going to be switched over into county general.

Okay.

Um and that's gonna hopefully balance or offset both both budgets and make them whole.

We should have an update um at the next meeting too, exactly what the budget's gonna look like for each line item.

Okay.

When is when do you do your budget presentation?

Uh August 19th.

So you will present your budget to the council prior to come into the board?

Correct.

Okay.

And those numbers, like I said, currently uh we're still like working on that through OFM, not only with the DOC budget cut, uh, but just also some other things that the enterprise has as a whole.

Um a lot of those numbers haven't been finalized yet.

Okay.

So you're looking pretty promising though on being able to shift any of those reliances on the from DLC to uh county general or a county funded.

Yes, our original request um was just over eight million okay for everything ended up coming out at like five nine.

Okay.

Um so yeah, all the all that money that was missing was able to be shifted into the county general, and most of it was uh salaries.

Okay, thank you.

Any additional questions?

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Are there any new agenda items that anybody would like to propose?

I see none.

Our next meeting will be August 20th at noon here.

I'll see everybody then.

We are adjourned.

Thank you.

Thank you.
