POLICY & PROCEDURES UPDATES

            Upon the request of Carey Deaver, Human Resources Director, MOTION by Beninga, seconded by Kippley, to Approve Changes to the Retirement Recognition Portion of the County's Policies and Procedures Manual. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK UPDATES

            Upon the request of Carey Deaver, Human Resources Director, MOTION by Bender, seconded by Kippley, to Approve Updates to the Information Technology Section of the Employee Handbook. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

            Carey Deaver, Human Resources Director, presented a request for approval for employee handbook changes related to meal and mileage reimbursement rates to be consistent with the State of South Dakota. The State of South Dakota recently issued notification that, due to the passage of House Bill 1060 during the past legislative session, various travel reimbursement rates would change effective July 1, 2024. In addition, the State will be streamlining their rates to federal standards, and each October 1, their mileage rates and in-state lodging reimbursement rate will be updated to align with the rates set by the federal government. Minnehaha County has a practice of following a similar approach to the State for mileage and in-state and out-side per diems. This would ensure equitable reimbursement rates while also minimizing the need for the Commission to take separate action each the State meal or mileage rates change. The immediate impact of this proposed change would be an increase to the County mileage rate effective July 1, 2024, from $.51 per mile to $.655 per mile. The future impact would involve updates, without specific Commission action, to the mileage and meal rates as the State rates change on approximately October 1st of each year. MOTION by Kippley, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Defer Action on the Requested Changes to the Employee Handbook Regarding Meal and Mileage Reimbursement Rates to the Next Commission Meeting. By roll call vote; 5 ayes.

MACARTHUR FOUNDATION GRANT

            Tom Greco, Commission Administrative Officer, presented a request for authorization to submit an application for the MacArthur Foundation Safety and Justice Challenge Capstone Grant. Minnehaha County was recently invited to apply for the MacArthur Foundation's Safety and Justice Challenge (SJC) Capstone grant. If the grant is awarded, it would provide just over $300,000 over calendar years 2025 and 2026 to build upon and seek to sustain efforts taken to date.  A proposed budget was highlighted as well as the history of funds received from the MacArthur Foundation. The MacArthur Foundation Capstone is intended to position the County to continue making progress through and beyond the grant while also addressing important outstanding challenges. Public comment was received from Tamien Dysart and Erin Srstka. MOTION by Bender, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Authorize the Submission of an Application for the MacArthur Foundation Safety and Justice Challenge Capstone Grant. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

SCAAP GRANT

            Joe Bosman, Captain, presented a briefing regarding the FY2024 SCAAP Grant. The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) is a grant that the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office has continually participated in for numerous years. The grant provides funds to state and local governments that incur costs for detaining individuals whom they believe to be criminal aliens and meet the program requirements to be counted as such. The United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance is the grant program administrator that evaluates the information provided in the grant application to determine, based on several data-driven factors, how much is awarded to a local government. Because the reimbursement is dependent on the analysis of the data provided, it is possible to state at this time how much money is anticipated to be received from the program. Previous SCAAP awards for Minnehaha County have most recently been in the range of $33,000-$53,000.  These funds are designated by the Federal Government to be used for correctional purposes only, and cannot be used to supplant any portion of the budget. Under the grant, the allowable expenditures include equipment, supplies, etc. MOTION by Beninga, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Authorize the Sheriff’s Office to Submit an Application for the FY2024 SCAAP Grant. By roll call vote: 5 ayes. 

NON ROUTINE PERSONNEL ACTION

            Upon the request of Joe Bosman, Captain, MOTION by Bender, seconded by Kippley, to Approve the Reclassification of One Full-Time Employee Position within the Sheriff's Office Emergency Management Division. 5 ayes.

SURPLUS DECLARATION

            Upon the request of Jason Gearman, Director of Emergency Management, MOTION by Kippley, seconded by Beninga, to Declare Two Emergency Management Vehicles (2004 Chevy 2500 Suburban and 1998 Ford F450 Standard Cab Chassis) as Surplus for Donation to the Sioux Empire Fair. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

BRIEFING

            Michelle Boyd, Sheriff's Office Program & Services Manager, presented a briefing on the Minnehaha County Sheriff's Office Pretrial Program. A majority of dependents placed on pretrial monitoring have a history of failing to appear in court and/or have a number of pending criminal cases. Data compiled by Pretrial Services indicates a 65% reduction in the rate of failures to appear for defendants placed Pretrial monitoring. The Pretrial monitoring has shown a reduction in the average jail population. Finally, the briefing provided a snapshot of the daily jail program over the past few years. Anthony Helland, Pretrial Coordinator, spoke about the various aspects of Pretrial services.
