FROM: Judge William Martinez, Municipal Court
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN PUEBLO, A
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND INTERVENTION, INC, A COLORADO NON-
PROFIT CORPORATION FOR THE SUPERVISION AND CASE
MANAGEMENT OF ALTERNATIVE SENTENCING PROGRAMS FOR ADULT
OFFENDERS
SUMMARY:
Attached are a proposed Resolution and Agreement for the provision of alternative sentencing
supervision and case management for adult offenders.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Beginning January 1, 2014, the City’s use of the County Jail for the housing of municipal
prisoners was severely curtailed. As a result, the Municipal Court began investigating
alternatives to the imposition of jail sentences. The Municipal Court, Police Department and
City Attorney’s Office met several times to discuss the possibility of alternative programs such
as work release, ankle monitoring, and rehabilitation services as a condition of probation for
adult offenders. Intervention, Inc. provides supervision and case management for adult
alternative sentencing programs such as work release, ankle monitoring, and rehabilitation
services.
Article 27 of Title 17, C.R.S., authorizes the development of community correctional facilities
and programs by which units of local government and non-governmental agencies are permitted
to provide correctional services to the justice system. Intervention, Inc. has provided work
release services to various counties in Colorado for over ten years. Intervention’s work release
program provides residential management and oversight of municipal offenders. Municipal
offenders sentenced to work release will be required to stay at Intervention’s facility but will be
allowed to leave during the day to work, look for work, or go to school. Intervention’s work
release facility is a non-secure facility. Intervention has been successful with gaining
compliance through rules and regulations, which all inmates are provided with upon entering the
work release program.
In addition, Intervention, Inc. will provide probation supervision for adult offenders. Currently,
Municipal Court has the ability to sentence adult offenders to probation; however, the probation
is not supervised or monitored for on-going compliance and therefore, is often an ineffective
deterrent to re-offending. Intervention, Inc. will monitor compliance with probation requirements.
For example, many of the adult offenders appearing in Municipal Court have drug addiction or
mental health issues. Sentencing these individuals to rehabilitation services that will be
monitored for compliance may reduce recidivism.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Adult offenders who have the ability to pay will be responsible for all costs of the alternative
sentencing programs. The City will be responsible for paying for any programs or services
provided to an offender who is determined to be unable to pay. In addition, the City will be
responsible for the cost of each and every “Ability to Pay Assessment” performed by
Intervention, Inc. at the Municipal Court’s request. The cost of the program will depend on the
level of supervision and services required. The costs are set out fully in the Agreement but a
summary of the costs is provided below:
“Ability to Pay Assessment” report: $50
Probation Supervision Fee: $30-$50 (depending on supervision level)
Substance Monitoring Fee: $10.50 per UA test
Electronic Monitoring Fee: $6.50 - $11.00 per day (depending on service)
Work Release Program Fee: $30 per day
Any costs incurred by the City will be paid out of Municipal Court’s budget.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
If the Resolution is not approved, sentencing of adult offenders in Municipal Court will remain
the same with unsupervised probation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Municipal Court recommends approval of this Resolution.

INTERVENTION, Inc,
Intervention Community Corrections Services (ICCS)
Work Release program
Article 27 of Title 17, C.R.S., authorizes the development of community correctional facilities and
programs by which units of local government and non - governmental agencies are permitted to provide
correctional services to the criminal justice system. ICCS has successfully provided Work Release
services to other Colorado counties for more than ten years.
Beginning in 2002, Intervention Community Corrections Services (ICCS) implemented the residential
management and oversight of offenders sentenced to its Work Release Program. Residential oversight
of the inmates is provided by fully trained ICCS staff that has been properly vetted through the Division
of Criminal Justice of the Colorado Department of Public Safety. This is accomplished in a "Halfway
House" setting that supervises inmates in a non - secure environment. We have been successful over
the years by providing monitoring and oversight of inmates in the facility as well as in the community
while at work, gaining education and treatment at various locations. All inmates are provided with
rules and regulations of the Work Release Program and may be involved in many services.
"Ability to Pay" Assessment
Upon conviction and prior to sentencing, the Court will determine whether to refer the client for
an "Ability to Pay" Assessment which will include an evaluation of the client's financial status,
verifying both income and expenses. A Court Report with verifying information will be submitted to the
Court by the Court review date so the Court can assess the appropriate supervision fee. The cost of the
"Ability to Pay" Assessment is $50.00 and will be billed to the City per Agreement.
Work Release Services may include the following:
Alcohol /Drug Testing Upon order of the Municipal Court and upon the request of the Pueblo Police
Department and upon a determination of cause by Intervention staff, Intervention will provide alcohol
and drug testing of an inmate of the ICCS Pueblo Facility Work Release Program by appropriate and
approved methods. The cost of urine analysis (UA) seven panel tests are included in the per diem cost
of $30 /day. The Seven Panel includes screening for the following substances: THC, Cocaine,
Amphetamine, Opiates, Benzodiazepines, Barbiturates and alcohol. Breathalyzer tests may be provided
at no cost to the City. ICCS may perform a minimum of one random UA per month.
Food Service ICCS will provide a nutritious meal three times a day, seven days a week to all inmates
sentenced to the program. ICCS will provide sack meals as required for inmates who are away from the
facility for authorized purposes. ICCS will be responsible for all preparation of meals. The menu will be
approved by a Registered Dietician.
Monitoring of Inmates
ICCS will provide monitoring services of the same kind and at the same level for the ICCS Pueblo Facility
Work Release Program as those services currently provided for by ICCS for the population it houses at
the Pueblo Facility. Tracking and monitoring services may be provided in accordance with ICCS' rules and
procedures. ICCS may provide such services using security personnel head counts, random room and
personal property searches, oversight of ingress and egress to the ICCS Pueblo Facility by ICCS Pueblo
Facility Work Release Program inmates and video monitoring via ICCS' CCTV surveillance system.
Searches of ICCS Pueblo Facility Work Release Program inmates will be limited to over clothing pat down
searches by same sex personnel or emptying of pockets by opposite sex personnel. As part of these
services ICCS will provide such information as is required by the Municipal Court to meet its reporting
requirements with respect to the ICCS Pueblo Facility Work Release Program inmates. Information will
be provided in the format and at the frequency that may be agreed upon.
Inmates will inevitably violate rules and regulations within the facility. ICCS has a system in place that
differentiates the level of violation and possible sanctions. This system provides a process by which
Work Release inmates are maintained in the program in a proactive fashion. All incidents will be
recorded and reported to the Municipal Court as required.
Transportation of /for Work Release inmates will be best served by public transportation. ICCS
administrators will work with the Municipality in the development of a viable system to receive Court
information regarding sentencing orders and expectations of entry to the facility.
Upon completion of sentence, the Municipal Court will be notified via a final report containing
information required by the Court.
Case Management
AU ICCS Pueblo Facility Work Release inmates will be assigned to an ICCS staff member for case
management services. In our current Work Release facility, this service is provided by Team Leaders
who are responsible for the overall compliance as it relates to the inmate. This includes review of any
incidents that occur, the response to any violations, the approved passes for the inmate and
confirmation of attendance at employment, school or treatment.
It should be noted that all Work - Release clients are expected to work, however, we allow inmates time
to search for employment if they come in to the program, unemployed. We expect the weekly per diem
to be paid a week in advance and this can be paid by a family member, for example, until the inmate
finds employment.
Treatment Services
Presently, if the inmate is in need of treatment, he /she will be referred to an appropriate agency at the
clients cost.
ICCS is willing to discuss the possibility if implementing a treatment track for municipal offenders if so
desired by the City /Court. We provide substance abuse evaluations and several "evidence based"
treatment modalities that can be presented to the City /Court for consideration, if so desired.
Cost for treatment services are typically billed separately depending on the individual needs of the
offender. The cost of treatment will be borne by the offender unless otherwise determined by the
Court.
Records
ICCS will maintain an accounting of all sentenced inmates and will furnish to the Municipal Court the
records as agreed. ICCS will maintain the records for up to three years or as agreed upon.
Compliance /Reporting
Inmate non - compliance with treatment and other court orders is taken seriously by ICCS.
Internal policy mandates the swift response to non - compliance as required by the Court. A)
ICCS will work with the inmate and impose intermediate responses for violations in order to
bring the inmate back into compliance with Court ordered requirements. B) The Court will be
notified, via court report, of non - compliance for Court review and further action within 48
hours of the alleged non - compliance. If removal from the Facility is required, a "facility hold"
will be placed on the inmate and the City of Pueblo Police Department will be notified to take
the inmate into custody. Our main goal is to increase inmate accountability and maintain
victim /community safety: C) Compliance and successful completion of treatment and other
court ordered requirements is mandatory for successful termination of supervision. The Court
will be notified, by report, of successful completion of treatment and other requirements, for
Court review and further action.
Payment For Services
ICCS recommends a "per diem" payment arrangement with the City. The per diem rate will include:
housing, meals, monitoring /verifying activities /whereabouts, record keeping, billing /invoicing, court
reporting, attendance at hearings, etc. For Work Release clients, the daily rate would be $30 /day.
This cost is justified as ICCS will be providing adjunct case management services, not just housing of
inmates.
The provided services would be documented and invoiced to the City by the 10 of the month following
the previous month services. The City would not be invoiced for the first day of services but would be
invoiced for the last day of service.

City of Pueblo — Community Supervision Program
Case Management Procedures for all Municipal Court Cases
The following is a general description of Intervention practices in case management proposed for
the Pueblo Municipal Court.
A. Upon conviction and prior to sentencing, the Court will determine whether to refer the client
for: 1) an "Ability to Pay” Assessment which will include an evaluation of the client's financial
circumstances, verifying both income and expenses and 2) a Level of Supervision Inventory (LSI)
which will determine the client's level of supervision and frequency of reporting. A Court Report
with verifying information will be submitted to the Court by the Court review date so the Court can assess
the appropriate supervision fee. The cost of the "Ability to Pay" Assessment is $50.00 and will be
billed to the City per Agreement.
B. Once a sentence has been imposed and the client is referred to Intervention; staff will administer
assessments to all probationers, to determine the appropriate level of supervision and frequency of
reporting. (Minimum = report every 60 days, medium = report every 30 days, maximum = report twice
per month). All supervision costs shall be borne by the probationer based upon the probationer's ability
to pay. All probationers are reassessed every 6 months to ensure proper classification and supervision.
C. Intervention will supervise probationers who are placed on post- sentence supervision by the Court.
In appropriate cases and as directed by the Court or through administrative agreement, the Case Manager
will initiate a referral for treatment at the probationer's first contact if the probationer is not already
engaged in a treatment program.
D. The Case Manager will monitor /verify probationer's compliance in treatment. This activity
requires the Case Manager to maintain communication with treatment providers regarding compliance
issues. Hard copy treatment verification will be required which mandates that the treatment relationship
with providers is strong and positive.
E. As directed by the Court or through administrative agreement, the Case Manager will initiate a referral
for Useful Public Service, if ordered, at the probationer's first contact. The Case Manager will maintain
communication with the Useful Public Service Program regarding compliance issues.
F. At the probationer's first contact meeting, the Case Manager will verify with the Court Clerk that a
payment plan has been arranged for court costs /fines. The payment plan will be reviewed with the
probationer and the Case Manager will maintain communication with the Courts regarding compliance of
payment.
G. Probationers may be subject to random urine screens/breath tests if they meet one of the following
criteria: 1) the Court has ordered random urine screens/monitored sobriety, 2) drug/alcohol use was noted
in current case, 3) client has history of drug/alcohol use /abuse, or 4) through administrative agreement
with the Court. The cost of drug screening is a separate fee and is borne by the probationer.
H. Monthly background checks will be completed on all probationers to verify no new county /district law
violations have been committed. The Case Manager will maintain regular communication with the
Municipal Court Clerk to verify any new law violations filed in Municipal Court. New law violations
will be reported to the Court within 48 hours, via a special report.
I. Compliance/Reporting: Probationer non - compliance with treatment and other court orders is taken
seriously by Intervention. Internal policy mandates the swift response to non - compliance as required
by the Court. A) Intervention will work with the probationer and impose intermediate responses to
violations in order to bring the probationer back into compliance with Court ordered requirements. B)
The Court will be notified, via court report, should on -going non - compliance continue. Our main
goal is to increase probationer accountability and maintain victim/community safety: C) Compliance and
successful completion of treatment and other court ordered requirements is mandatory for successful
termination of supervision. The Court will be notified, by report, of successful completion of
treatment and other requirements. Typically, domestic violence offenders are not terminated from
supervision before the expected termination date.
J. Based on Court order, Intervention will install, monitor and report compliance with all
technology requirements. Intervention policy requires that the Case Manager investigate and verify the
probationer's residence prior to program implementation. For victim safety, if it is found that a domestic
violence probationer resides in the home of the victim, the case is returned to the court for further
direction/disposition. The cost of electronic monitoring is a separate fee and is borne by the
probationer.
