COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS ADVISORY BOARD: Pursuant to K.S.A. 75-5297 Community Corrections must establish an Advisory Board that assists in the formulation of the agency's comprehensive plan and budgets for the Kansas Department of Corrections (KDOC). The board assists in the development, implementation, operation and improvement of correctional services offered in the district. The Advisory Board also serves as the Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board for the purposes of approving the grant applications submitted to the Juvenile Justice Authority (JJA) on an annual basis. Membership is mandated by statute and must include representatives from specific disciplines. The various city and county commissions appoint other members to the Advisory Board. There must be two minorities on the board and not more than 2/3 of the membership can be from any one gender. Adult services are funded with grant monies, which are distributed by the KDOC. Once the Kansas Legislators have determined budgets for State agencies, the KDOC distributes that money to the 31 judicial districts based upon a districts Average Daily Population (ADP) of adult offenders being supervised by Community Corrections. The rate of reimbursement is contingent upon the funding formula chosen by the KDOC. The funding formula is subject to change on an annual basis. SB 123 (mandatory drug treatment program) allocations are included in the KDOC grant award and are distributed to judicial districts based upon the district's ADP. Community Corrections is responsible for completing a Reimbursement Budget each fiscal year. Agency reimbursements are defined as money collected for offender services (i.e. offender supervision fees of $150, money collected for drug screen tests/confirmations, substance abuse treatment, and electronic monitoring fees). Juvenile Services are funded by JJA through the submission of program applications specific to prevention services, intervention services, and graduated sanctions. These funds support programs that serve adjudicated and non-adjudicated youth. Graduated sanctions programming is mandated by the State; however, each judicial district has discretion over its prevention and intervention allocation. Community Corrections and/or sub-grantees are responsible for developing procedure, outcomes and budgets for each program. Community Corrections can also secure grant monies to implement and/or enhance programming within the department. COMPREHENSIVE PLANS / GRANT APPLICATIONS: Every three years Community Corrections is required to submit a comprehensive plan to KDOC, with amendments in years two and three. Grant applications are submitted to JJA on an annual basis. The plans and applications outline the makeup of the agency, description of the services being offered, goals, objectives, target populations, supporting data, advisory board membership, and the budgets associated with each program. The KDOC plan is submitted in May and the budgets are due in July. The JJA requires narratives and budgets to be submitted simultaneously in March. The Fourth Judicial District Community Corrections serves the citizens of Anderson, Coffey, Franklin and Osage counties. Franklin County has been designated as the Administrative County for the district. As a result of being the Administrative County, Community Corrections' staff are Franklin County employees and are subject to the county's policies and procedures, as well as the policies and procedures of the KDOC, JJA and the Fourth Judicial District Community Corrections. Franklin County also serves as the fiscal agent for the district, processing payroll and operating expenditures associated with the offices in all four counties.
