opportunity to cure the alleged standards of conduct/code of ethics infraction to the
satisfaction of the Juvenile Services Director, who shall not unreasonably withhold any
decision that the Contractor has successfully cured the alleged standards of conduct/code
of ethics infraction. The issuance of such a "Notice" does not relieve the parties from
undertaking and completing the dispute resolution process described above.
The decision that the standards of conduct/code of ethics infraction has been cured shall
be in writing as shall be the alleged standards of conduct/code of ethics infraction leading
to the issuance of said Notice."

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 youth who are
serving time pursuant to an order of the court under the following circumstances: pre-
trial, adjudication time, probation violation time and any status offenders who might be
eligible for this alternative pursuant to court order and eligibility criteria.

(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.
III. REFERRALS:

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),

Kelli, Barb and Phil,
Kelli Parcher, Inc. is still working to upgrade insurance provisions for Proctor House. I spoke with Kelli's insurance broker
today, and they are making progress, but improved insurance is not yet in hand. Since January 1, there has been no
Proctor House contract, and Juvenile Services has not been able to place youth in Proctor House.
Enclosed is a contract with the old insurance provisions that I would like to get on 1/22 BoCC Agenda, so we can get
Proctor House open. Juvenile Services has a youth that would best be placed in Proctor House, but currently is in Kitsap
Youth Center and removed from local services.
The last paragraph in Section 7.on Insurance speaks to the ongoing effort to upgrade insurance provisions.
Section 9 has the improved indemnification language Phil Hunsucker and I discussed in December.
Phil also asked for some clarification about Respite Personnel. With the shortness of time, I would request we
temporarily use the existing language, and tackle improvements to that when we amend the contract for the upgraded
insurance provisions. (Barbara, you will need to coordinate with Phil on that.)
Call me if you have questions.

DATE: November 20, `01
RE: Sole Source Contractor–Proctor House Coordinator
This is to advise you that at this time I consider Kelli S. Parcher to be 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 in first line supervision of offenders and
her length of experience with at-risk youth and years of experience supervising staff in a
detention setting.
If this position had to 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 more importantly, the desire to facilitate a unique program like the Proctor
House. Ms. Parcher has been involved in the program since it was first put out to bid after
Jim and Marsha Eades resigned, and has remained the individual managing the program
for nearly 16 years. It would be a great disservice to the youth of Jefferson County and of
problematic impact for my department to put this position out to bid at this time.
