Follow Up Items

Pexton sally port: Can we increase the number of staff allowed in the sally port? BW – Not at this time. Management consulted CC staff and supervisors, and it is preferred to stay at 4 staff at a time. Staff are allowed to go to the lobby and wait at the end of the shift.

  • Radio Batteries – No Update       MS Put in an order for another 12 or so and will follow up with the company.
  • Known in Advance Overtime: Can we start assigning overtime at least 48 hours in advance? This will help with inversing. Contractually, overtime should be assigned when the need is known. Yes. Bonnie will follow up with Tim Lokensgard.
  • Work Areas running short: BW – Not sure when/why this is happening, the shift should always be starting with a full staffing allotment. Bonnie will follow up with Tim Lokensgard.

  • Narcan Update: DCT has decided that it will only be available with a Dr. order, the same as Benadryl and Epi pens.
  • Legislative Operational Budget Increases: PR - No information currently. How about a timeline?
