Lyon Co. Board to negotiate for Sentenced to Service agreement | News, Sports, Jobs

MARSHALL  Lyon County commissioners said a state program that manages community service work for low-risk offenders has had benefits for the county in the past but over the last two years, they weren’t sure they were getting a good value from the program.
Instead of approving a new two-year contract for the Sentenced to Service program, commissioners said Tuesday that they would form a group to possibly negotiate a different agreement with the Minnesota Department of Corrections.
The county’s current Sentenced to Service contract expires at the end of June.
In the Sentenced to Service program, low-risk offenders perform community service work under a crew leader provided by the state. Under the proposed contract brought before county commissioners, a crew leader would supervise up to 10 offenders each for about 40 hours a week. The state would also submit quarterly reports to the county with information including the total number of offenders served by the program, the total number of hours they worked, the estimated market value of projects they completed, and the dollar benefit of the STS labor at $10 per hour.
