1) Financial: $27,060 for a total of 164 Days in October 2021. Average Used Bed =5.29. Compared to one year
ago, October 2020 we spent $16,748 for a total of 101.5 days.
2) Intakes: Today's Daily Population Report: We currently have 8 juveniles in detention. 1 juvenile for rape of a
child 1st, 3 juveniles auto decline to adult superior court (for murder 11t, drive by shooting /assault 1St and
assault 1St ) 1 juvenile for drive by shooting— assault 11t, and 2 juveniles for theft of a motor vehicle. Because
of the severe charges the 8 intakes have bail at this point.
3) Courts:
L OFFENDER/DIVERSION: All civil and criminal matters are still being held via WebEx, and we only
have in person court hearings for Dispositions and Trials.
We continue to have weekly meetings with the juvenile prosecutor to staff upcoming dispositions,
and this has been working great.

3) Courts:
L OFFENDER/DIVERSION: All civil and criminal matters are still being held via WebEx, and we only

and this has been working great.
ii. TRUANCY: We currently have 82 active petitions, 73 total stays, 11 stays filed this school year, 1
stay lifted and sent to court and 3 contempt of court filed.
DEPENDENCY: The dependency unit is also doing regular docket hearings, via WebEx. In home
visits are still not allowed due to COVID. Staff continue to meet with youth and families
outside their homes or at the office, following social distancing and PPE protocols. All staff
is required to wear a mask outside of their offices.
4) Martin Hall: Since my last update we have had one more instance where my staff waited for a period
greater than 4 hours for transportation making it 7 hours intake process. Typical intake hours will take
around 3 -4 hours.
am inconstant communication with Mark Boyer as to transportation issues and moving forward their plan is
to have 3 people available for graveyard so there is a person always available to transport.
5) Administration:
• We hired for one of the vacant positions as a GAL Volunteer Coordinator. VCAN Grant position
6) Needs of the Department
L We extended one more week the other position for GAL Volunteer coordinator to hopefully get more
qualified applicants and will be doing interviews soon.
