2. The 2022 Comprehensive Community Plan draft had been mailed out prior to the last meeting. Copies are also available at this meeting.  All members were invited to comment and make additions or corrections.  So far, Dan has received minimal response.  The plan is for the Executive Committee to approve a final version of the CCP at its March 21 meeting, so that it can be timely submitted to ICJI by the April 1 deadline.  Please get any suggested revisions to Dan before March 21.

New Business:

1. There was no new business.

Presentations:

Misdemeanor Probation:  Leslie Jackson gave the report on Misdemeanor Probation’s grant which was amended after it had been approved to include a Verification and drug testing supplies.  The goal of the verification officer is to reduce the number of positive breathalyzers through more frequent face-to-face meetings with probationers at their homes.  The drug testing supplies will be used to test probationers  to deter and uncover use of illicit substances before they lead to further legal problems.

Vanderburgh County Sheriff Office:  Hannah Duckworth, the clinical director, reported their grant which provided funding for low-income and high-risk patients in substance use disorder treatment.  Of 861 clients, 78 were “private pay” meaning that insurance or public assistance was not available to cover their treatment.  Of those 78 private pay patients, 42 have successfully completed treatment so far.
