Community corrections update: commissioners give informal OK to county-funded approach for unfunded cases; Measure 57 IGA approved
Summary
Robert Rodriguez reported increases in adult supervision caseloads and presented options for handling unfunded supervision cases; commissioners gave informal approval to a PSC‑based county funding option and approved a Measure 57 intergovernmental agreement for SUD treatment funding.
Jefferson County’s community corrections director, Robert Rodriguez, briefed the board on the semiannual adult and juvenile supervision statistics, unfunded cases, and a recommended approach to cover unfunded supervision costs. Rodriguez reported 250 adults on supervision — a 6% increase since his last presentation — and described caseload splits and sanctions activity, noting 186 sanctions year‑to‑date in 2025 with an average custody stay of 22 days.
Rodriguez described three options for handling unfunded cases; his department recommended option 3, under which the county would continue supervising unfunded individuals but charge the county general fund based on individuals’ PSC (public safety checklist) risk level. He told commissioners the DA’s office has been consulted and that the plan uses PSC as the basis for allocating costs. On a separate motion the board approved by voice vote an intergovernmental agreement under Measure 57 — a state SUD treatment funding award of about $161,000 — to support treatment aligned with state guidelines. "Current 250 adults on supervision," Rodriguez said when summarizing the adult caseload, and later described the Measure 57 award as a targeted treatment collaboration with BestCare.
