OLD BUSINESS
None
NEW BUSINESS
Commissioner Irey brought to the Board's attention a matter concerning the discontinuation of two drug and
alcohol treatment programs for inmates due to proposed cuts in the state budget. Commissioner Irey questioned
Warden Pelzer if funding could possibly come from the Inmate Welfare Fund. Warden Pelzer stated the account does
not have enough money to support the programs.
Commissioner Irey then questioned Warden Pelzer if the Good News Ministry could offer similar programs to
the inmates. Warden Pelzer noted the programs can only be offered through licensed service providers and the
ministry is not licensed to provide such programs.
Warden Pelzer noted there is the possibility that in June of this year the governor may put the money back into
the budget to administer these programs.
Solicitor DiSalle was directed to look into whether or not the county is required under county code to provide
these programs.
Commissioner Irey pointed out if these programs do not receive the necessary state funding, the Board of
Commissioners will have to plan on picking up the cost next year.
There being no further business, Chairman Pettit declared the meeting adjourned at approximately 11:45 a.m.
