Sheriff Povero noted that the parenting link has one line of info going in and out of Monroe County and had two interruptions. Carla Jordan added that there is a crossover of Monroe County in Communication Tower in Perinton that affects specifically the Eastview Mall area which is why it is important for the redundancy in the link; allowing for roaming to be seamless. Supervisor Venuti inquired whether the old mobile and portable radios were refurbished or sold. Jen Langer from the Purchasing Department confirmed that in the past they have been sold at auction or there has been a trade in.

3 Payment Approval: Weissco Power LLC, Invoice No for $15, (CP ) STOP-DWI: Increase Victim Impact Panel Defendant Fee Resolution: Authorization for Contract with Geneva Police Department DWI Enforcement Resolution: Agreement for Services with Advanced Driver Education Courses and Training, Inc. and Life Long Driver, LLC Carla Jordan reviewed an invoice for payment. Supervisor Bendzlowicz motioned to approve the payment. Supervisor Venuti seconded the motion. Motion carried. Suzanne Cirencione presented three resolutions under Stop-DWI for approval. Supervisor Bendzlowicz motioned to approve as a block the three resolutions. Supervisor Venuti seconded the motion. There was a discussion on the fees for the Victim Impact Panel after an inquiry by Supervisor Venuti. Ms. Cirencione replied that the speakers did not get paid to speak but travel expenses are reimbursed. Every year the program expands with more educational services such as volunteer speakers, self-help groups, and providing educational materials as well as victim speakers coming in from out of town that may require overnight accommodations. Supervisor Venuti questioned whether the increase in the fee was necessary and stated his concern noting additional surcharges being required by the state; increasing one more fee would be putting additional burden on the defendants, making it almost impossible for the defendants to get a life back by putting them in a hole financially they can t get out of. Ms. Cirencione, being a probation officer, understood Mr. Venuti, but as a STOP-DWI Administrator, noted that the defendants are making choices, knowing full well it is not a cheap crime. The program is not covered by tax payer dollars and they are trying to get some of the state mandated surcharges back with legislation they are working on. She said they need to cover costs and cannot operate without doing something. Mary Krause asked what the costs of materials were. Ms. Cirencione replied that some material costs are provided by organizations such as AA; but they still need additional supplies such as the folders, copying expenses and time for staff. She said most programs run $50 to $100, especially downstate. Supervisor Campbell pointed out the fine was established 18 years ago and this is the second time an increase has been requested. He suggested that increases could be done in smaller increments within a shorter amount of time. He thinks it is most important to have the panel run and operate; although he feels bad for the defendants, he thinks it is important for them to pay for as much of the costs of the program as they possibly can and not have other things not get done because parts of a budget have to go to funding additional aspects of the program. An additional discussion took place with Supervisor Venuti inquiring on the ADEPT charge of $75 with $50 to ADEPT and the remaining $25 to Ontario County. Suzanne Cirencione explained the procedure noting that the $25 is for administrative costs. Ms. Cirencione

4 explained the referrals are for conditional discharges because it is a traffic offense; instead of burdening the courts with the follow up, the traffic program would do it under Stop-DWI. Supervisor Campbell suggested that the language in the resolution reflect the administration of the contract. Supervisor Venuti agreed that the language does make a difference in how the resolution is interpreted. It was agreed to change the language in the resolution to reflect the $25 for administration services for the program. The foregoing block of three resolutions carried with Supervisor Venuti voting no on the increase of the Victim Impact Panel Defendant Fee. PROBATION: Resolution: Authority to Sign Agreements Housing/Care of Out-of-County Alleged/Adjudicated Juvenile Delinquents Resolution: Youth in Crisis Program Contracts Resolution: Authorization for Agreement with Craig W. Johnson, M.S., C.A.S.A.C. Resolution: Partnership for Ontario County Youth Court Program Contract Resolution: 2019 Doyle Pruitt, LCSW Contract, Juvenile Sex Offender Treatment Jeff Rougeux presented five resolutions under Probation. Rate increase Subpervisor Venuti motioned to approve the five resolutions as a block. Supervisor Campbell seconded the motion. Supervisor Campbell suggested a clause be added in the first resolution to indicate the specific rate. Supervisor Venuti asked if there were any follow-up from the various providers to help track the success of the programs. Mr. Rougeux replied yes, noting that the trauma therapy is rather new and he can reach out to see if they have been tracking. Supervisor Venuti said it would be useful to find out how effective these programs are. Motion carried. Mary Krause asked if Jeff Rougeux could give an update on Raise the Age (RTA). Mr. Rougeux explained they have had several conversations with the Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) about their portion of the funding application and he recently had a conversation with Office of Probation and Correctional Alternatives and DCJS contradicting some of the things OCFS told him on what needs to be on the application and what is approved on the application. He understands they plan to meet and discuss why they are giving conflicting information. He has generated a fourth version of the application with the first submitted back in September. Mary Krause thanked the team for the patience and perseverance. Green said he was shocked he was getting conflicting stories from the state. Campbell are the changes big with Mr. Rougeux explaining they are small changes but are conflicting changes.
