Safe Harbor: involves moving someone from local jail to DOC due to being in danger in local jail. (ex: informant, police officer, etc.) which mainly involves medical situations. Currently these people are ineligible to go to DOC and this statute is looking at making them eligible. The consensus was POPAI will support this. Troy reported the grant application for DOC is out and due the end of January, 2018. DMHA reported 20 million in spending for Recovery Works. Adam discussed new rules for DOC funding for positions that was sent out in the email. There is now a cap on these salaries and it will not fully fund a po position beyond 1 year of experience. Adam sought permission to represent POPAI in questioning this rule. All agreed.

The report concludes with the Board Article Submission Schedule.
