Recovery Court and probation programs report stable participation, commissioners request more detail on terminations
Summary
Recovery Court reported 174 participants with 9 new entries, 7 completions and 3 terminations in June; probation reported 1,251 active clients with fiscal-year collections noted. Commissioners asked for more detailed reasons for terminations and for data to reduce attrition.
The committee heard monthly reports on Recovery Court and probation services. Recovery Court (Michelle Ricks) reported 174 participants in June, including 9 new participants, 7 successful completions and 3 terminations; program counts included 22 day-program participants, 28 night-program participants, and specific program tallies for drug court, mental health court and veterans court.
Kelly Haley (Probation) reported an active supervision caseload of 1,251 clients at the end of June, termination totals and fiscal-year collections sent to clerks (reported $239,391 for client payment plans and $75,441 for clients without payment plans). Commissioners asked whether terminations were the result of court revocations, absconding, positive drug screens or other factors; staff said many terminations follow new charges or absconding but offered to ask the reporting system for a finer breakdown so the committee could consider strategies to reduce attrition.
Both reports were approved by the committee; staff agreed to follow up with more detailed termination breakdowns and to return any requested programmatic analysis.
