MOTION by Commissioner Johnson that the commissioners approve
the CJPP application for funding with APO, but with the
understanding that the Criminal Justice Partnership Board/Jail
Population Task Force had veto power over anyone that administered
the programs and with the following stipulation: Mr. Dearman
would appear before the commissioners in six months and give an
appraisal of the program indicating how many clients were being
served and the level of service delivered.
Commissioner Johnson clarified with the county manager that
funding could be discontinued anytime the commissioners desired.
Mashburn said this was correct.
Commissioner Boone moved to add the following to the motion:
1. The CJPP Board had power over all personnel involved in the IAP
program -- not of everyone with APO, but all personnel involved
with the IAP funding.
2. The commissioners and CJPP Board reserved the right to
discontinue funding for the program at anytime.
3. The commissioners and CJPP Board look for alternate providers
for the service.
Commissioner Johnson accepted all of the amendments.
Commissioner Boone said he shared Johnson's concerns about APO
and that both boards (commissioners and CJPP) were not dealt with
honestly. Boone said he didn't feel anyone intentionally did any
wrong doing; however, poor judgement was used. Boone said he was
also concerned about the district attorney's office still having
problems with the situation.

Altrnatives Program.
