9 Q
To: Board of County Commissioners
From: Barbara L. Carr, Juvenile Court Administrator
Date: April 6, 2020
Subject: Contract for Proctor House-Alternative Detention Program
Statement of Issue:
The attached Proctor Home Contract confirms the county's relationship with Kelli Parcher
as Proctor House Coordinator for April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021.
Analysis:
The Proctor House, an alternative detention facility, is a key component of the graduated
sanction approach for Jefferson County youth. The Proctor House serves youth who do
not need the secure confinement provided by our contracted beds at Kitsap County
Juvenile Detention and thus eliminates overuse of the beds we have contracted for in that
more secure setting. The Proctor House is becoming a model program for managing
juvenile justice youth in a less restrictive setting.
Ms. Parcher has been the Coordinator for the Proctor House for over 18 years. This
funds supporting the Proctor House have essentially been included in my 2020 budget,
and an additional amount was requested pursuant to a budget extension for the 1st
quarter of 2020 to cover the costs of commercial liability insurance moving forward.
Alternatives:
Discontinue serving youth with this alternative detention program and have all youth
serve time in standard detention in Kitsap County; bring the program "in-house" and
consider Ms. Parcher and her staff as county employees.
Fiscal Impact:
Most of the Contract amount was already included in my 2020 budget. I have asked for a
budget extension for the 1st quarter of 2020 to cover the cost of insurance.
Recommendation:
i' hat th- :• • sign the Contract for Kelli's services as the Proctor Home Coordinator as
