Probation department names new supervisor; diversion fees to be distributed in April
Summary
County probation staff announced a supervisory change, reported $7,889.48 in diversion fees to be awarded in April, and board members discussed outreach to the Boys & Girls Club.
County probation staff told the Stephenson County board that Chad Zeller will replace Steve Brown as a probation supervisor; Brown has taken a new supervisor position outside the county.
The probation report listed diversion-fee funds totaling $7,889.48; staff said the funds would be distributed in April. Board members discussed whether local organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club should be informed about the program and whether the organization had previously received county funding (staff indicated they did not believe the county had funded that organization before). One board member volunteered to contact the Boys & Girls Club and another suggested a press release next month and checking that an online application form is current.
In discussion, board members noted that last year the Boys & Girls Club had lost significant funding and that the county's increased budget line for diversion distributions might allow the board to reach the $10,000 level if revenue holds for the remaining months.
Ending: Staff agreed to follow up on outreach to potential recipients and to confirm the application form status before issuing any press release.
