Sheriff's Report
Juvenile Department
Tom Meier, direc
tor, provided the court with
a quarterly report from his
department. It appears the
stats regarding incidents and
referrals are comparable to
last year’s numbers. Gang
activities in the county were
discussed. The court was
surprise that some o f the
problems are appearing in
youth as young as 11 and
12 years of age. There was
then a discussion regarding
bullying. Meier assured the
court that the schools have
a zero tolerance policy for
bullying.
The court conduct
ed the following business:
The new document regard
ing “Public Procurements
for Goods or Services” was
review ed. A correspondence
regarding the need of some
additional language was
reviewed. County council,
Ryan Sw inburnson, will
incorporate these sugges
tions into the document and
bring back to the court at a
later date. This new policy
would impact the sheriff's
departm ent, the road de
partment, the health depart
ment., the CSEPP program
and any other department
that may be using federal
grant funding. M iscella
neous correspondences and
upcoming meeting notices
were reviewed.
