\"If you have any animals ... and you want to seek treatment ... most people are not gonna do this. They're gonna avoid that,\" Dan Potts said, explaining the organization's founding. Potts said the group has formed a board that includes a longtime local veterinarian and a representative from Sammy's and Friends. Liz, identified in the presentation as the nonprofit's president, told the CCP the program would prioritize unhoused individuals and that similar programs show improved treatment uptake and completion.

PAWS requested $20,000 in initial funding with a $5,000 seed disbursement to cover start‑up costs, outreach and legal work to finalize bylaws and contracts with foster families. The presenters cited national research and local anecdote to say pet care concerns are a barrier to treatment; they proposed a foster model with 18–24 month commitments and a process by which owners sign the pet over temporarily with a contract that allows return of the pet if the owner meets specified criteria.

Members raised operational concerns. A representative associated with the county shelter warned that local shelter capacity and medical costs are already strained and emphasized the difference between a county‑run animal control shelter (which must accept seized animals) and an independent nonprofit foster model. Shelter concerns included availability of fosters, medical costs for expensive procedures and the difficulty of long‑term fosters if an owner remains incarcerated for extended periods.

The CCP did not vote to fund PAWS from the CCP budget. Multiple members, including an Animal Control‑adjacent participant and public health staff, said the proposal fits the CCP’s innovation fund process. The group recommended that PAWS apply through that competitive innovation fund process, refine eligibility and foster criteria, and return with a detailed budget and operating plan. Staff said they would include the requested amount on the innovation fund spreadsheet and schedule review under the innovation timeline.

No CCP funds were approved at the meeting for PAWS; staff directed the presenters to prepare more detailed eligibility criteria, foster agreements, a budget, and a plan for coordination with local shelters and veterinary providers before the innovation review.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Community Corrections Partnership Meeting - January 30, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A newly formed nonprofit, PAWS (Protecting Animals While Supporting Sobriety), requested $20,000 in startup funding to foster pets for people entering treatment; the CCP said the proposal is appropriate for the innovation fund and asked organizers to return under that process.","taxTitle","Nevada County, California","taxId",20103,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6340399,"Nevada County CCP moves money to expand recovery housing contract and discusses budget schedule",2892,1450000,4342000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2259455-aa825cf593d62421f70025b9cf7724a1&start=1450&end=4342","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2259455-aa825cf593d62421f70025b9cf7724a1/thumbnail_1450000.jpg","/articles/6340399/Nevada-County/California/Nevada-County-CCP-moves-money-to-expand-recovery-housing-contract-and-discusses-budget-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6340399-14274ebc15d2adc2c6274d9b6f610b25/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146367&Signature=OjDcR9nTYIMYuV33VL-hUT5CyrQbfZ3v1y2WCFR-bw1FUXnUjQrh1WvtAO2e5dZ9c4HurW3I39-J2EDbtW0vCm~8DEg4~5ywk1f6PUYFj-ZEvoMXOJn7cZBLfdjfpFK18mH~h1UxVd8C5wKRnGEEyhHe9YxOHoKvXXsiVBxlwVtqtac8Resd6oPcHuEQGF2-c7e6erW3i7ayOFe6vX6unZSFmXVEpShf4bQ5s70-OvO7oYWrKK9Ry~xpc8eB2nnHEPsyB~gUAAJNb0qEyuwHV6e4ZEJLwCwcmi~oLxRG7UZz2ydIOdki9Sb-7vy6OunV30~NxQ9-pT6ss5qCGdf21g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nevada County’s Community Corrections Partnership agreed to reallocate unused funds and increase a recovery‑housing contract after staff said the county has exhausted the current Common Purpose recovery‑housing balance.

Angie Coffey, fiscal officer for probation, told members the CCP has remaining money in the budget for the Doc O’Shea contract and additional dollars intended for Common Purpose that are not being used. \"What we’re looking at is ultimately ... to increase their contract to what we anticipate, where we would move it to $140,000,\" Coffey said. The motion to move the funds and increase the Common Purpose contract was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the ayes and that there were no opposed or abstentions but does not include a roll‑call tally.

The group also discussed a change in the treatment budget driven by contracting: a probation‑based therapist role moved from Behavioral Health’s budget to a contract with Doc O’Shea. Staff reported the Doc O’Shea contract was originally around $60,000 and was already near $54,000 midway through the year. Members said transitional‑housing and residential treatment usage has increased, which has influenced several line items.

Fiscal questions reviewed included how to treat the 5 percent evaluation requirement in statute. A staff member noted the statute requires a 5 percent carve‑out for evaluation; the group discussed whether to set that aside explicitly or fold it into a broader training/evaluation contingency line in the budget. The sheriff’s office proposed an adjustment to its request to reflect 50 percent of total estimated revenue rather than just base realignment revenue; that change was discussed but not finalized at this meeting.

The CCP also agreed to allow more time for members to review the budget roll‑up and to reconvene next Thursday at 11 a.m. for a short meeting to consider final approvals. Members asked staff to add the proposed nonprofit innovation request (see separate item) to a comprehensive spreadsheet so county departments can finalize their budgets.

Votes at a glance: the minutes from 10/24/2024 were approved earlier in the meeting by voice vote; later the CCP moved and approved reallocation to increase Common Purpose’s contract to $140,000 by voice vote. The transcript does not include a roll‑call tally for either voice vote.","The CCP approved shifting unused psychologist funding to increase Common Purpose’s recovery housing contract to $140,000, discussed probation treatment contract changes, and scheduled a follow‑up budget vote next week.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6340404,"Nevada County CCP debates bylaws language on designees and strict rules for virtual attendance",628,803000,1431000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2259455-aa825cf593d62421f70025b9cf7724a1&start=803&end=1431","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2259455-aa825cf593d62421f70025b9cf7724a1/thumbnail_803000.jpg","/articles/6340404/Nevada-County/California/Nevada-County-CCP-debates-bylaws-language-on-designees-and-strict-rules-for-virtual-attendance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6340404-17731fd46c9e018ef5e960b77e7fef53/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146367&Signature=RGAN9lzRO3XfSwj9iUKw8d9z1wjO43t3Yz53GBdlRFiSOuhQnhxUhUwJTcE3fWgsHXcuBSdES9N5gQ3qT6zPkFjFUJPgdL5N6QJNNSdGBkIo5IV4cg8M2Y6NQOfPLOhsD6laaES6tbC1z0D2WiwC~CIyr3Xo3zmMOVMrV4Y~fsAapBXtilXrsnPVtcZWk2zPKUD2V0pVXDV1lih8uXyQJIVm6J7aHE48qydlkCZASASd5Da35mQ4Pc4V2uVk-F3SyRYyPLVaKcEAoxK75KOIUWkT7t-gDJQ~pRYiHPTxHL82Pwu-XKvUEOObt0LXiyoGbtQqbRxzReX7lKSipW9UlA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a meeting of the Nevada County Community Corrections Partnership, members discussed proposed bylaws language that would limit which positions may appoint designees to the CCP executive committee and clarified when members may participate remotely.

The debate centered on whether designees should be permitted only for constitutional officers named in statute or whether other member organizations may appoint nonvoting designees. Jeff (last name not provided), a staff member, summarized county counsel’s guidance and noted that Sacramento County’s roster shows designees but that the written bylaws and the statute appear to limit designees to specified offices. \"Designees for the executive committee needs to the CCP executive committee are not permitted except for designees of constitutional offers officers,\" Jeff said, quoting the county counsel referral to penal code section 1230.1 language.

The discussion matters because allowing broad designee use would change who makes decisions at the executive level and because bylaws are the document that would govern budget, innovation funds and meeting procedures going forward. Several members urged caution and asked for a draft that codifies who may be a designee and how designees are appointed. Carrie Klein, public defender, and \"Alex\" (role not specified in the transcript) had raised questions at an earlier meeting, and county counsel (unnamed) had recommended limiting designees to those referenced by statute.

Members debated practical considerations. One participant observed that many agencies send staff to handle operational detail and asked whether it is difficult to assemble the seven people identified for executive meetings four or five times a year. Another participant who identified themselves as a law‑enforcement official said they would often defer to staff for technical details and that a designee might be more productive in some meetings.

The group also reviewed remote attendance rules for public meetings. County counsel reminded members that because CCP meetings are Brown Act meetings, the body must make reasonable efforts to have a quorum in person; if a quorum is not in person, there are higher hurdles for allowing voting members to appear virtually and the public must have equivalent remote access. Jeff said he will circulate guidance about when remote attendance is permitted and noted there are high bars and notice requirements for remote participation.

Next steps the group agreed on: staff will circulate a revised draft of the bylaws that (1) includes a roster of designees to be updated once a year, (2) distinguishes voting and nonvoting designees, and (3) contains guidance on remote attendance consistent with Brown Act requirements. Members indicated they expect to review and possibly adopt the bylaws at a subsequent meeting once county counsel has reviewed the draft roster and language.

Minor administrative items: the group confirmed it has a quorum and will circulate the draft bylaws and a schedule for an annual designee update.","Members discussed whether non‑specified CCP members may appoint designees for executive committee roles and reviewed limits on virtual participation under public‑meeting law; staff will circulate a draft with a yearly designee roster and guidance on remote attendance.","actionData","errors"]
