BUDGET DISCUSSION WITH DEPARTMENT HEADS
Highway Superintendent Weinberg explained why his budget is so high. They have had to install culverts after the flooding that FEMA didn't cover the cost of. However, they are saving money by doing the work themselves. Also, some of the bridges in Davison County have been repaired. Sometimes, to get money, they have to spend money.
As Commissioner Reider put it, the highway budget kind of puts a pinch on every other department.
Corrections Officer Radel reported that inmate numbers are back up to "normal" after dropping off drastically for about three months due to COVID.
The jail has to remodel and refurbish some areas so that is why their budget was a bit higher.
States Attorney Miskimins reported the legal services budget will be hit hard the next twelve to eighteen months. He said this budget is very difficult to explain to the public.
VSO Bennett shared some exciting news in that there is now a VA doctor in Mitchell that will be doing home visits.
Chairperson Bode asked the department heads to think about what needs would best suit the basement in the courthouse.
Bode would also like to see the bandstand spruced up and add some outdoor furniture to it.
She also discussed a software user group that will include Harry Redman from District III and Patti Guthrie, the auditor, treasurer and ROD's current software provider.
Commissioner Weitala would like to see a full-time HR director hired. She said that for every 100 employees somebody has said they should have one full-time HR director. She said a job description is forth coming.
APPROVE FUEL QUOTE
At the request of Highway Superintendent Weinberg, motion by Reider, second by Claggett to accept the lone fuel quote from Meyers Oil for 3,000 gallons of unleaded fuel at a cost of $1.64 per gallon. All members voted aye. Motion carried.
DIVERSION PROGRAM REPORT
States Attorney Miskimins and Diversion Coordinator Katie Buschbach presented information regarding the Diversion Program.
Miskimins stated that the statewide advisory group he is a part of met recently. Coordinators from across the state presented updates and ideas. It was apparent there have been many young people making bad choices during the pandemic. He further stated that Davison County may have spent more money in July than ever before on juveniles.
Miskimins said Davison County is doing it right. They're not locking kids up because they are mad at them. The kids that are at JDC are those that have messed up three or four times.
Miskimins also reported that Davison County has never submitted for reimbursement for juvenile diversion. He said we should be getting about $14,000 reimbursed.
Buschbach reported there is a conditional release which presents an opportunity to stay in the community with possibly an ankle monitor. This is quite a cost savings as JDC costs the county $236 per day, while the monitor costs $7.50 per day and we get $3.25 of that reimbursed.
There will be a program at the Davison County Fairgrounds on September 29th & 30th, 2020 entitled Positive Youth Development, Re-Imaging Juvenile Justice. This training opportunity is for individuals that work with at risk youth.
