Statement of Issue:
The attached Proctor Home COntract confirms the county's relationship with KelJi Parcher
as Proctor House Coordinator for an additional two years.
Analysis:
The Proctor House, an alternative detention facility, Is a key component of the graduated
sanction approach for Jefferson COunty youth. It Is also the facility that manages all the
detention for our status-offenders, who should, absent a severe reason to the contrary,
receive a less-secure response from the Court when found In civil contempt The Proctor
House serves youth who do not need the secure confinement provided by our contracted
beds at Kitsap CounlyJuvenile Detention and thus eliminates overuse of the beds we
have contracted for In that more secure setting.
Ms. Parcher has bean the Coordinator for the Proctor House for over 10 years. This
funds supporting the proctor House have already been Included In my 2012 budget
A1tematJvss:
Increase our contract for standard detention beds to somewhere between 8 and 11 beds
for an overall increase In the detention budgat for Juvenile Services.
Fiscal Impact:
COntract amount alreedy Included In my 2012 budget
Recommendation:
That the BOCC sign the Contract for Kelll's services as the Proctor Home Coordinator as
presented.

Sole Source CoIltr8ctor - Proctor House Coordinator
RE:
. .
. 'tIilids to advise you that at th1s tUne I consider Kelli S. Patcher to be currently a sole
source provider in Jefferson County for coordination of the Proctor House, an alternative
.. detention program and facility for youth offenders. Ms. Parcher meets the requirements
of this position with regard to her work experience directly.related to serving youth in a
corrections environment, her extensive training infust line SupeIVisionof offenders and
her length of experience with at-risk youth and years of experience supervising staff in a
detention setting. .
lfthis position hadm be put out to bid, we would most likely have to seek individuals
. outside of Jefferson County for somebody who not only had the experience of Ms.
Parcher, but Inoreimportantly, the desire to facilitate aumque program like the Proctor
.. House. Ms. Parcher has been involved in the program since it was first putout to bid 8fter.
JiIn &.tdMarsha Eades resigned, and has remained the individual mllnllg'ng the program
for over ten years. It would be a great disservice to the yoUth of Jefferson County and of
problematic impact for my departmenttoput this position oUt to bid at this time. .

AITACHMENT A:
JEFFERSON COUNTY PROCTOR HOUSE STANDARDS
AND EXPECTATIONS
November 2011
ATTACHMENT A: SCOPE OF CONTRACTOR SERVICES
PROCTOR HOUSE STANDARDS
I. PURPOSE
The Proctor House is a private House where juveniles referred from Juvenile
Court serve mandated detention time. While in the House, juveniles will receive
tutorial support, drug and alcohol counseling and assistance, occupational and life
skills exposure, as well as other appropriate programs and services. These
services will either be provided by Proctor House Staff or by referring to
appropriate local service providers. The Proctor House is a model project
offering an alternative to traditional detention. It is part of a continuum of
detention options ranging from electronic home monitoring to secure juvenile
detention facilities. The Proctor House has security and programmatic standards
that are detailed in this document.
II. POPULATION TO BE SERVED
The Proctor House shall be available as a detention alternative for selected low
and/or moderate-risk offenders and status offenders (Youth at Risk, Truancy,
CHINS, and dependents) who are ordered by the court to serve detention time.
Youth referred to the court by the Department of Children and Family Services
(dependency cases) may not be placed in the Proctor House unless they are the
subject of a contempt proceeding and are ordered remedial sanctions including
detention as a part of the court order.
m. REFERRALS:
The statewide CMAP Risk Assessment is performed on each offender referral to
juvenile court. The results of this risk assessment will be used to assist in
determining the appropriateness for placement of offender youth in the Proctor
House. A detention risk assessment shall be completed on each non-offender
youth sentenced to detention as well as the statewide adopted mental health
screening for use in a detention setting. The risk assessment will take into
consideration such factors as criminal history (if any), compliance with terms of
the court order, participation in school and treatment programs, and mental health
needs, in making a reco=endation regarding eligibility for detention alternative
programs. The Juvenile Court Administrator (hereinafter referred to as JCA) or
designee shall have :final say in all placement decisions.
The Judge or Court Commissioner may authorize less restrictive alternatives for a
youth to serve detention time. This may include the Proctor House. The Proctor
House Program Coordinator (hereinafter referred to as the PH Coordinator) has
the right to refuse any referral from Jefferson County Juvenile and Family Court
for good cause.
IV. SERVICE GOALS FOR THE PROCTOR HOUSE
1. To reduce the use of traditional detention for low and certain moderate-
risk offender and non-offender youth (status offenders). This allows
Jefferson County's few contracted detention beds in neighboring counties

2. To provide a structured, pro-social, environment where youth can work on
issues such as family conflict, alcohol and drug addition, mental health
issues and school non-compliance.
