Juvenile Probation supervisor pushes back after commissioners request caseload data
Summary
Juvenile Probation Supervisor Dahlia Stender said routine state reports provide caseload figures and pushed back at line-by-line questioning, declining to answer additional questions without explicit board direction and saying she felt 'very targeted.'
Juvenile Probation Supervisor Dahlia Stender attended the budget workshop and responded to commissioner questions about caseload numbers and department workload. Stender said she provides routine reports to the state and district liaison and that the numbers fluctuate widely; when pressed for immediate caseload counts she repeatedly said she would have to pull records and would provide them on request.
At one point Stender told the board she "wasn't going to answer any questions unless it's directed from the board at this point," saying she felt targeted by the line of questioning. Commissioners asked her to provide current caseload numbers and historical data so they could better assess workload and staffing needs; Stender agreed to provide the figures but asked that future queries be directed from the board as a whole.
