Proclamation - Thais Ridgeway

Mr. Haste: At this time it is my pleasure to turn the microphone over to Commissioner Hartwick.

Mr. Hartwick: It gives me great pleasure to honor a special young individual who's in our presence today who has bestowed great recognition to her family, school, community and this County through her above and beyond the call of duty efforts with parents and underprivileged children and doing it all, not to be here for recognition, but doing it all because she believes it is her duty and responsibility to get involved and to make a difference with the people that surround her and could benefit as a result of her tutoring. We have with us today Thais Ridgeway. You have received an honor, from what I understand it's the highest honor besides the Congressional Medal of Honor and the first person in Harrisburg ever to have achieved such a distinction. We hear so many things about young people today and we see it on the news related to crime and issues that are related, everything from mental health to poverty. We see very little recognition when it comes to honoring somebody who takes it upon themselves to step forward and to truly make a difference. To see that at such a young age and you have a great future ahead of you. We are proud to be able to honor you today. We prepared a Proclamation, as I indicated to you. It is in fact your day in Dauphin County and we are honored to be able to name it as such.

(Mr. Hartwick read the Proclamation.)

Office of County Commissioner
Dauphin County, Pennsylvania

Proclamation

We, the Dauphin County Board of Commissioners, are deeply honored to commend Thais Ridgeway of Harrisburg upon her selection as a Congressional Gold Award recipient-the first ever in Harrisburg to receive this prestigious mark of recognition, which is the highest honor bestowed upon America's young people;

Whereas, this accomplished student at Bishop McDevitt High School was recognized by Congress on June 19th for her exceptional efforts on behalf of the underprivileged, and for consistently demonstrating the three cornerstones of the Gold Award: service to others, initiative, and achievement;

Whereas, this extraordinary young woman has devoted much of her time to tutoring underprivileged children and teaching parents how to carry out a follow-up plan;

Whereas, she far exceeded the requirements of the Congressional Award by doing more than 400 hours in each area; she also earned the Bronze, Silver and Gold medals for the Presidential Volunteer Service Award and Presidential Champions Challenge Award;

Whereas, as a student role model, Thais is also a member of the National Honor Society, student council, peer counseling, nationally-ranked varsity cheerleading squad, track and field team, Christian Service Club and Mock Trial Club;

Whereas, as a young person of intelligence, initiative and integrity, hoping to double -major in psychology and law, Thais represents our best and brightest hope for the future;

Therefore, we join the 253,300 residents of Dauphin County in congratulating Thais Ridgeway as a Congressional Award Gold Medalist; we applaud her devotion to personal excellence and community service; we wish her continued success in her many worthwhile academic and altruistic endeavors; and in grateful recognition thereof, we do hereby proudly proclaim June 25, 2008 as "Thais Ridgeway Day" in Dauphin County.

(Applause was given.)

Mr. Hartwick: I understand you have prepared some remarks. We are anxiously awaiting your first appearance here in Dauphin County.

Ms. Ridgeway: First I would just like to say thank you to all the Dauphin County Commissioners. A big part of the Congressional Award is to volunteer public service. That was the section that touched me the most as an individual. As I go throughout the community, I see signs that say our community, our responsibility. This has become something that I took to heart, because throughout the Congressional Award I was able to meet others who have the same mindset as me and it really pushed me to achieve more. Now, I challenge everyone here to go into your own communities and volunteer and make a difference. Thank you.

Mr. Haste: What are your future plans?

Ms. Ridgeway: My future plans are to, of course, go on to college and I do plan to major in Psychology and work with law. After that I hope to help the people of the world with any problems that they may have and continue to volunteer, of course, because it is something that gives me great pride and joy.

Mr. Haste: Are you coming back to Harrisburg?

Ms. Ridgeway: I'll be back.

Mr. Haste: I just wanted to make sure you weren't going elsewhere.

Mr. Hartwick: If you need a summer internship to be involved at any various levels of County government service you certainly have a welcome spot back here in Dauphin County.

Ms. Ridgeway: Thank you.

(Applause was given and pictures were taken.)

1. Mike Potteiger, Director, Adult Probation
   Ed Marsico, District Attorney
   1. Presentation on Adult Probation Office

Mr. Potteiger: My name is Michael Potteiger. I'm the Director of Adult Probation and Parole. I'm here today in regards to today's agenda. The Court is requesting that the Commissioners approve the hiring of two probation officers for the purpose of Drug Court. We understand that it might not be at the window of hiring at this time, but the importance of hiring the two positions now is that I can take the two current senior positions that will be handling our Drug Court and put them into the Dauphin County Prison to start identifying those individuals who would be eligible for our Drug Court so I can replace them with these two new individuals that would oversee their caseload then when they come in. The cost associated with hiring the two probation officers for the year, which is approximately $110,000 with salaries and benefits, would come through the funding source of Act 35, which is the Supervision Fees. The offenders who are currently sentenced in Dauphin County get assessed a fee, which is a fee associated with the Courts at the discretion of the President Judge, which is Judge Lewis, to utilize those funds for the purposes of Adult Probation and Parole. We would like and respectfully recommend that the two positions be approved for the Drug Court process.

Mr. Marsico: I know both of you are well aware of the Drug Court process as it is played out here the last several years and have been big supporters of this. For those that don't know what Drug Court is, Drug Court is a model that is now 15 or 20 years old and has been used in many areas around the country. Many counties in Pennsylvania, in fact we are a little late in the game in Dauphin County, but what the Drug Court model is, is the offenders who commit crimes, nonviolent crimes based on having some nexus to a drug or alcohol addiction are placed in a Drug Court setting. It is not a slap on the wrist. They appear weekly before a Judge. They would appear before the Court. They are strictly supervised by probation officers. It is an alternative to incarceration for these offenders so that we are not spending the tax dollars at the Prison and we are using alternate sources of funding. In this case, we would be using the money that the Commissioners have successfully allowed us to procure the last couple of years, which is Restrictive Intermediate Punishment Funding from the State that goes to drug and alcohol treatment. The regimen that these drug court offenders have to go through, as I said before, is rather rigorous. They have to meet the employment, maintain treatment status and again the feeling is when you come before a judge each week in a courtroom setting you have more incentive to keep up with your treatment, keep your job, to make payments on your fines and costs, because you know you are facing a judge who can sanction you if you fail to meet the requirements of the program. The recidivism rate for these types of programs is much lower than recidivism rates that we normally see. Here in Dauphin County we have started with the Restrictive Intermediate Punishment Program the last couple of years with the Commissioners' support. Basically what we are doing is we are folding that program and those dollars into the Drug Court program. President Judge Lewis has been very supportive of starting a Drug Court, as has this Board of Commissioners. Again it is an alternative to incarceration and hopefully it will cut down on recidivism. We visited various drug courts across the Commonwealth to see how these courts play out. As part of the trends, what we call specialty courts or treatment courts that we see many others mental health courts, DUI courts there is a variety of these specialty courts that have come about in the last years and seem to have made a difference in the individuals who are going through the process. Judge Lewis decided that we have talked long and hard enough about this that it is time to get something up and running. We are going to kick off a Drug Court at the end of July with a formal meeting of our Drug Court team, as well as a first court appearance for those individuals that will be entering Drug Court near the end of July. The Drug Court Team consists of the District Attorney's Office, the Public Defender's Office, Adult Probation, Drug and Alcohol and Human Services. We have had meetings with the planning team to get to this stage here today. Unfortunately, the burden for a Drug Court falls most heavily on Adult Probation. Those are the individuals who are tasked with making sure these individuals are getting their treatment, not getting in trouble again, that they have jobs and things like that. We are working closely with Erica Baum, who has done a great job so far with our RIP Program. She will continue to work as an integral member of the Drug Court team. As I understand it, Mike is going to take two senior members of his Probation Department and place them into Drug Court, because of their familiarity with treatment programs and the type of offenders that they will be dealing with. I join, on behalf of the District Attorney's Office, the Criminal Justice Advisory Board and President Judge Lewis who is currently in trial and couldn't be here today, in this request.

Mr. Hartwick: First of all I want to commend you and your perseverance and particularly through the Criminal Justice Advisory Board identifying this as something that was a priority for the County. One of the things that most folks don't ever talk about when you hear about the Prison talks where our successful ability in working with the Courts, Judge Lewis, your Office in reducing the overall number of folks out at the Dauphin County Prison. It is because we have been doing things smarter. It is not that we're not locking up serious criminals. We are just being smarter at trying to utilize non-tax dollars to be able to take care of the root causes of why people have gotten in the Prison and attempting to resolve those issues so they are not coming through a revolving door. That's not that we aren't being tough on criminals. It is that we are being smart with the utilization of tax dollars in trying to get people back paying taxes and being a productive member of the community again. We actually reduced the Prison population. Commissioner Haste had set forth the task force to take a look at the Prison population when it was over 1,400 people at one time. We have been successful largely in part because of the District Attorney, Public Defender and the President Judge's efforts. I want to thank you for the perseverance. Is Judge Lewis going to be the judge?

Mr. Marsico: Judge Lewis, in addition to his already heavy workload, wants to make sure the program is up and running the way he wants to see it and he personally wants to be the Judge of the Drug Court, which is great for us. To follow up on what you said, I know this Board has been and Commissioner Haste especially as Chairman of the Prison Board who spends a great deal of time at the Prison and keeping the Prison population manageable without the continued support of the Board would not be easy. We have seen a major increase in the number of adult criminal cases in the last years, yet the Prison population we have managed to keep a lid on it. These alternative type programs I think we have to continue to seek out. I first approached a Drug Court seven years ago here in Dauphin County and it has been a long time coming. I'm hopeful that it works. We had a case this morning scheduled for the Courts, just to give you an example of the type of offender. An individual stole a check from his mother and went out and forged it for $200 so he could get money for a drug addiction. That individual has three prior thefts and a forgery; all stemming from drug addiction that this particular individual has. He would be facing a sentence of probably around nine months on an average give or take a few months on either side of that in the County Prison. He would be someone with a program like this, a nonviolent offender, he stole from his mother who wants to be held accountable because he has done this type of thing in the past, but we want to see that he continues to work so he can pay off his fines and costs, pay the $200 that he owes his mother, as well as get treatment that will hopefully stop that cycle. Hopefully if we get affective treatment, make him come into a Drug Court program, maybe there won't be another theft a year from now. That is the type, anecdotally, of cases that we are going to see in this program where somebody might otherwise spend nine months at DCP or in the Work Release Center.

Mr. Hartwick: And utilize other revenue streams besides taxpayers' dollars. It is not a slap on the wrist. There is going to be weekly monitoring and drug testing and a higher standard for these individuals than there would be in another location.

Mr. Marsico: From an experience in Northumberland County, there are some individuals that when they get into the riggers of drug court.

Mr. Hartwick: They don't want to go back to jail.

Mr. Marsico: After a couple months of jail and they get got their sentence over with. We've heard that in county and counties throughout the Commonwealth.

Mr. Hartwick: When you make that effort and you get through those first couple weeks and get them detoxed, it may be easier for them to see the errors of their ways and hopefully continue through a successful drug court.

Mr. Marsico: We definitely plan on inviting the Commissioners to the initial Drug Court session, as well as our initial graduation ceremonies some months down the road to see this process play out.

Mr. Hartwick: I look forward to participating.

Mr. Haste: I would like to publicly thank Judge Lewis for finally bringing this here. Ed said he has been arguing for this for seven years, I have only been a Commissioner for five, but I have been arguing for many years. I'm happy that we have a President Judge that is willing to move this forward. I'm also glad that it is the start of a number of specialty courts. We are already underway with the mental health and some of the others that we are trying to do, but I think what it will do is in the long run it does save General Fund tax dollars to the taxpayers of this County because if we do nothing more than warehouse the people in the jail we pay 100% of it. The other thing that it hopefully does, even if the recidivism rate is at 50% that is better than the 90% that we are seeing at the jail and we will get people out that we are able to change their lives and get them back to being productive as opposed to what we see now. I think the riggers of your office, Adult Probation, keeping on top of them, sort of being the guardian angel through this process will work, because I have seen, even in some of the programs that we have had at the jail and the Court agreed to, between your office and the Public Defender's Office agreed to rehab to keep people out of jail when they aren't required to report to the Courts and to make that weekly presentation, it seems it goes well for a little while, they get bored with the process and there is no longer that stick to keep them there, they fall by the wayside and shortly thereafter we see them again. So, hopefully with the coming to see the principal at times or the gift giver, depending on how they do on a regular basis, will keep them moving in the right direction.

Mr. Marsico: We are looking forward to this.

Mr. Haste: It is a long day coming. I serve on a bar committee, on behalf of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania and it is somewhat embarrassing to sit there and we lead the way in almost every category in the State except this.

Mr. Marsico: Right.

Mr. Haste: It is good to now be able to say we have a Drug Court.

Mr. Marsico: Dauphin County is often looked to on criminal justice issues as a leader and this is one area where we were lagging behind. So, again, I thank the Commissioners and especially President Judge Lewis, without the Court's approval we wouldn't be here today.

Mr. Saylor: Michael, could I just ask you to address, we have two Purchase of Service Agreements on the Agenda and I know at a previous Board meeting some questions had come up about that. Could you just mention those?

Mr. Potteiger: Yes, one Agreement is with G4S is Omnilink. We are looking to utilize.

Mr. Hartwick: Could I just interrupt you. I hate to do this, but I thought the instructions that we gave were to try to get a comprehensive look from both Juvenile and Adult Probation at the same time and then allow us to make some sort of decision related to that after that presentation. In fairness, I think, it is my preference, that maybe at a Workshop we have Adult Probation and Juvenile Probation do a presentation, bring in the vendors. The idea is there is updated technology, relationships with people and their vendors and we just want to have the opportunity to select what we think will be a consistent package for both Juvenile and Adult Probation rather than piece-mealing this thing together.

Mr. Haste: The preference would be to have those two departments working together and have the same vendor.

Mr. Tully: I had a conversation right after that meeting with Judge Lewis and he said that he was amenable to some informal exchange of information so everyone has a good grip on the situation.

Mr. Potteiger: And understandably. The other contract was SleepTime. The SleepTime is the bracelet that measures the drug and alcohol, not actually.

Mr. Tully: That is the one that we will not be acting on today. There are some issues.

Mr. Hartwick: So, that one is off and the other one.

Mr. Tully: If you are looking at your Agenda, at this point W (2) has to come off. W (1) is ready for approval.

Mr. Saylor: Are you saying that you want a presentation solely on these purchase of service agreements?

Mr. Hartwick: That is what we said last week.

Mr. Saylor: You want to pull both?

Mr. Haste: Yes.

SALARY BOARD

A complete set of Salary Board Meeting Minutes is on file in the Commissioners' Office.

PERSONNEL

Ms. Lengle: The Personnel Transactions Listing, I have an Addendum. Are there any questions on the items in the Addendum?

Mr. Hartwick: We are still pulling #8, #9 and #10?

Ms. Lengle: That is correct. There are no other changes.

It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. Haste that the Board approve the Personnel Packet as amended; motion carried.

PURCHASE ORDERS - RANDY BARATUCCI, DIRECTOR OF PURCHASING

Mr. Baratucci: The one requisition that I talked about last week for EMA has been added to the Packet. It is on Page 24. Just for your information, on Pages 11 and 12 there are items for magisterial district justice offices that are showing over budget. They have not been corrected as of yesterday, but they are corrected now. They are security enhancements for Margerum and Wenner. Mr. Yohe made the budget adjustments so they can be approved as well. The packet is good to go as is.

It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. Haste that the Board approve the Purchase Order Packet as presented; motion carried.

No T.R.A.N. Line of Credit required for 2008.

Adoption of 2008/2009 Fiscal Year Budget

Mr. Yohe: The second item today is the day we advertised to approve the Fiscal Year 2008/2009 Budget. That will cover the nine County funds that run on a July 1 to June 30 Fiscal Year, to correspond with the State funding. (Mr. Yohe provided the Commissioners with a summary.)

As you are aware, the Budget has been out there for the last three weeks, out at the Receptionist's Desk for the 20-day public inspection period. There have been no changes.

Mr. Haste: How many reviewed the Budget?

Mr. Yohe: I did. As of a couple days ago it was zero. We are looking at the same numbers. We have nine funds that run on this Fiscal Year. I will be asking for your approval of the total for 2008/09 is $161,570,699. That is about a $4.7 million dollar increase over our current 2007/08. We are about 3.03%. Again, we have been managing I think very well to control the dollars here. Our services may be hurting a little bit, because the State and Federal governments are not keeping up with our needs, but we have been able to control that. The second page shows how much County dollars or General Fund dollars are required by these funds, with the exception of Children and Youth. We have either no increase or a very slight increase. Children and Youth is about $741,522 increase or about 7.62%. That is within our expected limits that we were anticipating with the reduction in TANF and all the other areas that we have heard about for the last several years.

Mr. Hartwick: It is a lot better than when we started.

Mr. Yohe: Yes, it is a lot better than the $2 million that we started the process at. The third page, there are 12 new positions included in this. They are all Children and Youth. They have been approved at the State level. They are part of their Needs Based Budget. We will have to approve them through Salary Board at some point in time when they are ready to fill them.

Mr. Saylor: Kay, did you make a note of that?

Ms. Lengle: Yes.

Mr. Yohe: There have been no changes. We went over this in pretty high detail three weeks ago.

Mr. Haste: The one issue that I thought was still hanging in Aging was with the State on the Meals-on-Wheels kitchen. Did we get that resolved? Weren't they telling us we were to.Bob was able to show it was cheaper and we were looking for a waiver.

Mr. Hartwick: We actually did receive a waiver for last year and I believe they are still talking about that waiver for this year. I don't think the State is going to change their position on this. I think the last thing they instructed Bob to do was to get an in-depth analysis of exactly what that looks like, what the private contractor looks like so we can make a determination at some time during this year.

Mr. Haste: Fred, did we get the waiver yet?

Mr. Lighty: I haven't seen it yet.

Mr. Haste: That is the only thing that may cause us to go back and adjust the numbers in some way.

Mr. Hartwick: I will get Bob to shoot us out something today.

Mr. Yohe: This Budget includes the operation of the kitchen for next year.

Mr. Haste: I thought if the State got us out as what Bob seemed to be indicating is it would be more costly. He was going to do the analysis and we were going to try to get a waiver and I didn't hear back.

Mr. Hartwick: In our weekly directors' meeting, Bob had mentioned that he is working on the waiver. He didn't see any barriers. I don't know if he has gotten final approval.

Mr. Yohe: Do you have any questions? (There was none.)

It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. Haste that the Board adopt the 2008/2009 Fiscal Year Budget; motion carried.

REPORT FROM CHIEF CLERK/CHIEF OF STAFF - CHAD SAYLOR

Mr. Saylor: I have nothing unless there are questions of me. (There was none.)

SOLICITOR'S REPORT - WILLIAM TULLY, ESQ., SOLICITOR

Mr. Tully: As you can tell when we move into double letters on the Agenda it is usually because Fred has been very busy with all the fiscal year contracts. There are three items that need to be pulled that are not ready for final action. They would be W, which we already discussed and Z and AA still need some time.

Mr. Hartwick: Can I add one to that list? I just want a chance to review M (27). We can put it on next week, but I just want to become a little bit more aware of exactly what that contract stipulates.

Mr. Haste: We have four items being pulled, Item M (27), W (1 & 2), Z and AA. Are there any other items that need to be pulled out? (There was none.) Bill, do you have anything else in your report?

Mr. Tully: I have nothing that I need to address, but happy to answer any questions.

Mr. Haste: We are now at Matters Requiring Board Action. As we heard Items M (27, W (1 & 2), Z and AA have been pulled. Is there a motion to approve the rest?

It was moved by Mr. Hartwick and seconded by Mr. Haste that the Board approve the items listed above under Matters Requiring Board Action, except for Items M (27), W (1&2), Z and AA; motion carried.

FORMER BUSINESS

Mr. Haste: Since a lot of folks have been asking to give an update on the lockdown at the jail. The jail is back in operation with the exception of C and D Blocks. D hopefully will be back under normal operations soon. C they continue to decide not to follow rules. In fact, it has gotten to the point that any visitation to that Block, including meals, is being videotaped, because of their behavior. For whatever reason there are a number of folks there who have decided that they are not going to follow rules. Until we can get those, there are a couple of them that are awaiting trial to move onto a larger facility and until that happens I think they are going to be a problem. Most of the jail is under normal operations.
