Representative offers JDAI funds; board to convene work group for briefing
Summary
Representative McNamara offered leftover Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI) funds; the board agreed to convene a smaller working group for an informational briefing and to schedule a fuller discussion for the February meeting.
Chair reported that Representative McNamara approached board leadership about available state funds connected to the Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative (JDAI) and asked whether the board would be interested in pursuing the opportunity.
Members agreed to form a small working group including the juvenile judge, representatives from the prosecutor’s office, and staff to evaluate options and prepare an informational session. Heather Woods said staff and judicial partners are working on scheduling a January briefing with Representative McNamara’s office so the full board can have accurate information at the February meeting.
No formal vote or commitment of funds resulted from the discussion; the item was informational and the board requested staff follow up with a scheduled briefing for early 2025.
