1/27/14 Conference call(1/15) with CT- notes. Participants Shawn and Peter with Jamie and Rob. The 5-month timeline plan was discussed with dates agreed upon. Auditors have received completed folders for Standards-section 1 (except for 1.6 & 1.9), and Standards-section 2. CT is has completed Standards- sections 3 & 4 and after review will be forwarding to us. There were several issues raised: a) Standard 1.9 – and the types of documentation that would satisfy the standard. This can be complex for a statewide program with several courts and offices, and where there is oversight and control by the court system of pretrial program space. There can be “overkill” by submitting emergency plans for the entire court, and unnecessary. Peter and Shawn will review what they have and discuss further based upon “offices” they have in the building. b) Another issues came up based upon the Board decision to raise the Affiliate fee to $50 from $20 or 150%. This has an impact on Accreditation because of the Standard that mandates a certain number of employees be Certified. They are prepared to pay the fee, but point out that this can be hidden fees within the Accreditation process that may pose problems for certain jurisdictions who have a certain budget for Accreditation. It may cause these agencies to hold back on Accreditation or bush it back for a number of years, while certification takes place.
