2 Program Title: Superior Court Services Program Budget: $2,596,438 The Superior Court is the court of general jurisdiction in Kitsap County, having original and appellate jurisdiction as authorized by the Washington State Constitution and the laws of the State of Washington. The Superior Court is created to resolve criminal felony cases, civil cases, juvenile offender and dependency cases, family law cases including paternity matters and adoptions, probate and guardianship matters, domestic violence cases, mental health cases, and appeals from the District and Municipal Courts in Kitsap County. The Superior Court is a court of record, and is required to always be open, except on non-judicial days. The Superior Court is created to adjudicate general jurisdiction court matters in Kitsap County as authorized by the Constitution and laws of Washington. The number of judicial positions is determined by the State Legislature and affirmed by the Board of County Commissioners, based on an objective workload analysis. Non-judicial court positions are created; (1) to ensure the judges have adequate research, scheduling, trial and public service support; and (2) to ensure the Court's obligation as a court of record is met using the highest quality capture of the verbatim record. The court operations budget is based on the community's demonstrated five year needs for foreign language and ASL interpreters, appointed counsel, guardians ad litem, and arbitration services. In 215, the Superior Court conducted 45 criminal and civil jury trials; 18 criminal, civil and family law non-jury trials; and over 3, non-trial hearings to resolve 7,629 cases. In 215, State certified and/or registered interpreters were appointed to provide access to limited- English persons in over 28 hours of court proceedings, and County-paid Guardians ad Litem were appointed in over 15 family law and guardianship cases.

3 Program Title: Program Budget: $552,89 Adult Drug Treatment Court The Kitsap County Superior Court/Drug Court is a judicially-supervised, treatment-focused program for adults charged with certain eligible felonies and facing criminal prosecution. The program offers non-traditional and individual treatment for chemical dependency as an alternative to criminal prosecution. The Court operates with a team approach and features treatment, intensive supervision, random drug/alcohol testing, weekly court appearances, and life skills educational opportunities. The program is designed to regulate individual substance abuse recovery while reducing, if not eliminating, future criminal conduct of drug-using offenders. The Family Dependency Drug Court (FDDC) is a subsidiary of the Adult Drug Court that endeavors to re-unite dependent children with parents following successful drug treatment and substance abuse recovery. The FDDC operates under the auspices of the Adult Drug Court for treatment services, and has the capacity to serve up-to 12 participants at a time. Note: The Superior Court also operates two additional treatment court programs - the Juvenile Drug Court and the Individualized Treatment Court (ITC) - through the Juvenile Department budget. The Drug Court program is an innovative, alternative program to the traditional felony case processing model and is designed to reduce/eliminate recidivism by providing treatment for individuals who engage in criminal activity to support substance abuse addiction. The program is focused on recovery rather than incarceration, and uses immediate sanctions (including jail time) to motivate participant compliance with recovery objectives. From July 1, 216 through December 31, 217, the Adult Drug Court is awarded $714,38 in mental health/substance abuse sales tax grant funding to sustain its capacity expansion to 15 participants, with the hope of avoiding the re-establishment of a pretreatment waitlist. Of the total grant award, $363,78 will pass-through the Adult Drug Court budget, with $244,738 reflected in revenue and expense figures in 217, below. Substantial changes in revenue and expenditure figures presented below reflect the impact of this grant funding between 214 and 216. The Drug Court team routinely re-examines the program and explores innovations in treatment and funding that enhance the recovery of Drug Court participants.

4 Program Title: Program Budget: $25,378 Veterans Court The purpose of the Veteran s treatment track is to timely engage and assess veterans who have entered the criminal justice system to connect them with services necessary to address chemical dependency and mental health issues, thereby decreasing criminal activity and making the community safer. The Veterans Court treatment track team pursues all services for which veterans are eligible, including those available through the Veterans Administration and under various community programs before accessing grant funded services. The Kitsap County Superior Court implements evidence-based processes and procedures from the existing drug court program with an added capacity dedicated to military veterans and enhancements that serve their particular needs. The enhancements include specialized services through one or more clinical therapists who can holistically address co-occurring disorders (e.g., SUD-PTSD), specialized case management, and a full partnership with local veterans offices that incorporates programs and protocols tailored to veterans needs and that maximize the access and use of resources available only to veterans. The Court has been appropriated Federal SAMHSA grant funds from October 212 through September 216 to pilot the Veterans Court treatment track. From October 1, 216 through December 31, 217, the Veterans Court is awarded $189,87 in mental health/substance abuse sales tax grant funding to sustain the program. Of the total grant award, $72,64 will pass-through the Veterans Court budget, 59,863 reflected in revenue and expense figures in 217 between Cost Centers 952 and 953. Total grant funds support a full-time therapist position at the Kitsap Recovery Center, and a half-time compliance specialist in the Superior Court. Similar to the Adult Drug Court, the Veterans Court treatment track is designed as an 18- month program so successful graduations are not contemplated until mid-214, at the earliest. SAMHSA grant funding required the collection of data and an evaluation of the program by an objective, third party evaluator. The evaluation is based on pre-defined assessment criteria and an expectation that participant interviews will be completed. Additionally, operational changes will be weighed during the implementation of the program to ensure participants are efficiently matched with available resources and services.
