Also available from the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board are reports identifying the amount and value of time state agencies have spent to affect legislative action and reports of expenditures for lobbying activities filed by organizations that employ lobbyists.
We are proud to deliver accurate and useful information that enhances accountability and assists the Legislature in its oversight of executive branch agencies. We look forward to serving the Legislature, the Governor, and the people of Wisconsin in the coming years.
This marks the twenty-third year that the Department has awarded grants for cooperative county-tribal law enforcement programs. The statutes require counties and tribes to develop joint program plans. The Department requires plans to include resolutions of support for the plan adopted by county boards and tribal governing bodies, to signify cooperation and mutual commitment.
This program pays for a variety of law enforcement services to Native American communities across Wisconsin. Grants have been used for the costs of personnel, patrol, investigation, crime prevention, K-9 units, information technology, law enforcement training, alternatives to drug abuse and gang involvement, diversity training, cultural awareness education, and emergency/rescue equipment. An increasing number of grants are awarded to programs that include tribal policy departments, generally helping to pay for tribal liaison personnel and patrol services provided to Native American reservations and communities.
The amount appropriated for this program in State Fiscal Year 2011 was $701,300. Grant funds come from tribal gaming receipts as appropriated in the biennial budget. For Calendar Year 2011, the Department issued 19 awards totaling $701,300. These awards were in the following amounts:
The Department of Justice's County-Tribal Law Enforcement Grant Program continues to help local law enforcement provide needed services in Native American communities. In addition this program helps build a cooperative atmosphere and positive relationship between law enforcement and tribal governments and communities. I am please to share information regarding this important program with you.
The attached report is submitted to the Legislature pursuant to s.46.27 (11g) and s.46.277 (5m) of the Wisconsin statutes, which require the Department of Health Services to submit an annual report for the Community Options Program (COP) and the Home and Community-Based Waivers (COP-W/CIP II). The attached report describes the persons served, program expenditures, and services delivered through the COP, COP-Waiver, and CIP II programs in calendar year 2009.
The Community Options Program provides services to people who are elderly or who have a physical, developmental or mental disability, and is coordinated with all of Wisconsin's Medicaid Home and Community-Based Waivers including Family Care. With the Department's oversight, county agencies are able to ensure that a comprehensive and individualized care plan is provided, while maintaining program flexibility and integrity, and maximizing federal matching funds.
