Cheryl Gerwig (Common Pleas Probation) told the board that the high-utilizer group — people who frequently use the jail and related services — faces a large service gap and that addressing that gap should be a priority for the board's Strategic Plan.
Gerwig referenced an Ohio Supreme Court Chief Probation Officer’s Board report that explored barriers and stigma for people re-entering the community; she offered to share that report with members. "There is a huge gap as far as what they can do with this group," the minutes record.
Board members discussed starting with grassroots communication and case-management options as part of Goal 1 planning.
