TO: THE HONORABLE CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE PORTAGE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: RE: TRANSFERRING JUSTICE PROGRAMS AND ITS STAFF INTO THE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND REVISING THE CORRESPONDING CODE OF ORDINANCES SECTIONS WHEREAS, the stated mission of the Justice Programs Department is to achieve justice for the community, victims, and offenders through effective and appropriate responses to crime and its prevention; and WHEREAS, the Justice Programs Director position became vacant on September 13, 2026; and WHEREAS, Justice Programs was formed as a stand-alone Department by County Board resolution in 2006; and WHEREAS, after thoughtful and diligent consideration among the County Executive and the Circuit Court Judges, in consultation with departments that work with the Justice Programs, the consensus was to move Justice Programs away from a stand-alone department and transfer the program into the Health and Human Services Department; and WHEREAS, the new Justice Programs section will be in the Division of Community Programs and will have a Justice Programs Supervisor and the staff as set forth in the attached organizational chart; and WHEREAS, corresponding to the organizational transfer in this resolution, the legislative oversight of Justice Programs will move from the Judicial / General Government Committee to the Health and Human Services Board as set for in the attached Code of Ordinances revisions to sections 3.1.16 and 3.1.11; and WHEREAS, transferring Justice Programs in this resolution does not modify the nature of the work that staff carry out and will have minimal impacts on day-to-day operations. The Justice Programs staff will continue to work with the Courts to effectuate its mission of achieving justice for the community, victims, and offenders through effective and appropriate responses to crime and its prevention. This move to Health and Human Services will assist both the Courts and Health and Human Services to provide greater collaboration in decision-making based on objective data and the goal to further reduce recidivism through treatment-based outcomes as well as improve stewardship of county resources. FISCAL NOTE: This resolution transfers the Justice Programs budget from the General Fund to the Health & Human Services Fund beginning in fiscal year 2027. There will be no changes to the 2026 budget for the remainder of the fiscal year as a result of adopting this resolution. This is not a budget adjustment resolution as the changes will be incorporated as part of the County’s budget process. Due to the timing of this resolution coinciding with the County’s 2027 budget document in process, Finance staff recommended the necessary changes be proactively incorporated into the 2027 proposed budget to avoid additional future changes to the budget document and a potential budget 42-2026-2028 Page 11 of 16 amendment. If this resolution fails adoption, Finance staff will immediately prepare the necessary budget amendment to restore the budget in the General Fund prior to the adoption of the 2027 budget. The timing of any adjustment to the budget shall not impact the timing of the organizational transfer. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Portage County Board of Supervisors hereby orders, directs and authorizes the transfer of Justice Programs into the Health and Human Services Department and the position changes as set forth in this resolution, and hereby approves, enacts, and ordains the attached revisions to Code of Ordinances Sections 3.1.16 and 3.1.11. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that appropriate County officials, including the County Executive, as well as staff are authorized to sign any documents and take all actions to effectuate this resolution.
