AGENDA ITEMS
1. CIRCUIT COURT/FRIEND OF THE COURT – POSITION FUNDING CHANGE
This item was directly referred by the Public Services Committee. The Friend of the Court is seeking
approval of a position funding change for one Special Revenue Full-Time Eligible Workforce
Development Technician II position from the Reimbursement Medical Incentive account to the Title IV-
D CRP Grant. The employee’s duties have changed, and it was determined that the employee’s work
is 80% Title IV-D CRP work, and the remaining 20% of non-Title IV-D work will be funded by the County.
This change will result in a cost-savings for the County.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Zack.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Bowman absent.
2. SHERIFF’S OFFICE – 2018 DNA CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT AND BACKLOG REDUCTION
(CEBR) PROGRAM – ACCEPTANCE
The Sheriff’s Office is seeking approval of a grant from the U.S. Department of Justice for the DNA
Capacity Enhancement and Backlog Reduction Program in the amount of $150,000. The grant period
is January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2020. There is currently a backlog on property crimes to
April because high-priority cases such as homicides and criminal sexual conduct (CSC) cases are
handled first.
Kochenderfer moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested resolution.
Supported by Weipert.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Bowman absent.
3. MR #18340 – CIRCUIT COURT – POSITION DELETION, CREATION AND RECLASSIFICATION
