HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93009_1102Commissioner Johnson mentioned that earlier that Carolina
Psych Group had proposed some methods for this program which were
considered "unorthodox" by many members of the task force. Puett
mentioned that the auricular acupuncture would not be used in
treatment procedures. Additionally, Puett emphasized that
Carolina Psych would not be doing any treatment. The county
manager mentioned that the task force would be evaluating the
program as it went along.
Commissioner Boone said he saw one problem occurring when
volunteers served on committees. He mentioned that, sometimes,
when you have a professional staff and a volunteer board the
professional staff has the upper hand. Professionals work on
their presentations, etc., to make themselves look good.
Volunteers are donating their time to serve; however, they don't
always have time to investigate the presentation or presenter.
Any staff, unless they really mess up, usually has their way.
It's just difficult for volunteers to oversee everything.
Commissioner Johnson asked Mr. Ed Dearman, another member of
the Criminal Justice Task Force, if proposals could be obtained
from other agencies. Dearman said this could be done, but that
initially the task force was trying to get the program "off the
ground." He also mentioned that the federal courts have a
prediagnostic done on every offender going into this court.
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to receive the Criminal
Justice Partnership Grant in the amount of $100,701.
VOTING: Ayes - 8; Nays - 0.
MOTION by Commissioner Johnson to award the contract for the
administration of the Criminal Justice Partnership Program grant
(Iredell Alternatives Program) to Carolina Psych.
Commissioner Boone requested to amend the motion by deleting
a segment in item H of the contract. He requested that the
itemized listing of various human service providers be deleted.
Item H should simply read: To monitor the IAP program
effectiveness a "user board" will be established with
representatives from human service providers.
Commissioner Madison said that if the contract was accepted,
as proposed, that he wanted a provision inserted that Dr. Powell,
of Carolina Psych, as well as representatives of the task force,
would give a quarterly report to the board of commissioners on
the successes/failures of this group.
Commissioner Johnson accepted both amendments.
VOTING: Ayes - S; Rays - 0.
Commissioner Boone requested that the minutes reflect that
he did not cast an audible vote. The reason for not casting an
audible no vote was out of respect for the opinion of some of the
people serving on the task force. Additionally, Boone said that
he had misgivings about the contract.
