Community Corrections reports $609.09 in TRECS collections, rolls out Compliance Agreement for overdue client fees
Summary
Staff reported $609.09 collected via the TRECS portal in 2025, noted unpaid balances for six former clients, and described a new Compliance Agreement process that places clients two to three weeks behind on fees into a structured repayment plan before referral to a judge if they fail to comply.
Staff reported that the TRECS clearinghouse returned $609.09 to the program in 2025 through tax-offset processes administered with the Indiana Department of Revenue. Director Laura Petty told the board that unpaid client fees are declining, that six former clients have unpaid balances filed in small claims court, and that staff waived some past fees when supporting documentation could not be located.
Petty described a new Compliance Agreement process: "If a client falls more than two to three weeks behind on program fees, they are placed on a structured Compliance Agreement to help them become current. If the client fails to comply with the agreement, the matter will be set for a hearing before the judge." The board did not take further formal action on the topic during the meeting.
