We have a new prosecutor, Peter Hibbard came back to the Juvenile Court, and since he took over, he has been working on our backlog and we have seen cases moving along. The Supreme court recently adopted court rule GR 31 and CrR 2.1 regarding Access to Juvenile Records and pleadings to use only initials in all documents filed with the court with an effective date May 3, 2022. This is very concerning for many justice system stakeholders and a letter was sent to Supreme Court on April 21, 2022, asking to delay the implementation. Some of the main concerns are per RCW 10.97.045 courts are required to send dispositions to WSP, if the disposition paperwork only has initials this creates a confusion as to whether courts will have record of any juvenile offender's full name to report to law enforcement. RCW 13.40.1002 outlines a process to serve a summons on a juvenile. A summons and a pick-up order without a name, is useless. RCW 13.40.192(1) requiring the Court Clerk to enter a judgment for unpaid legal financial obligations. A judgment without a name is unenforceable. RCW 10.77.075 provides that to request a competency evaluation, the Child Study and Treatment Center must be provided with an order, charging documents and criminal history. Full and reliable identification is essential to this process. Without names of alleged offenders identified in the charging documents, the records become generic and unidentifiable cases not associated with any person. ii. TRUANCY: We currently have 106 active petitions, 68 total stays, 92 stays filed this school year, 22 stays lifted and sent to court and 22 contempt of court filed. DEPENDENCY: The dependency unit is also doing regular docket hearings, via WebEx. Since my last update, it was agreed by the parties and the court that we will start full day dockets on May 17, 2022. Our dependency unit currently have 220 active cases. 3) Martin Hall: There has been no issues with transportation or communication. 4) Administration: I. The Juvenile Department will be having True Colors part 1 on Wednesday, May 4, 2022 from 8:30am to 11am. II. In our last attempt to meet with the association in regards the Probation Counselor job description, Human Resources had to cancel our meeting since we never received language proposal for an MOU requested during our last meeting. Later that week, Decorah and I got an email from the Association stating that they were not in favor of adding the GAL duties to the Probation Counselor job description. Since that has been our main focus of changing some of the job duties since we started this process last year, I asked Decorah to execute our management right to change the job description. Decorah wrote a notice to send to the Association and she has provided it to Kirk for his approval. Once we have his authorization, Decorah will send it to the union and then we will be able to proceed with the changes. III. We currently don't have a set date for our next Negotiation. 5) Needs of the Department I. Grant County Juvenile Court & Youth Services will be able to apply for VCAN grant funding for the upcoming fiscal year. We will be submitting the application shortly. This is the grant that we got last year and with these funds we were able to hire our GAL Volunteer Coordinator. Since we hired this position, the GAL Volunteer Coordinator was able to get 16 new volunteers with 9 of them being bilingual. II. We are still looking into the possibility on bringing the Casa Manager system for our GAL department and our volunteers. As it right now they are using spreadsheets to keep their caseloads and they don't have a proper system to put case notes. If we bring the new system moving forward, we are able to bill our VCAN grant for it. We are having a demo of this new system tomorrow Wednesday April 27, 2022 from 10:30am to 1:30pm.
