AGREEMENT
Sheriff Mike Milstead, via Zoom teleconference, presented an agreement between Minnehaha County and the South Dakota Department of Social Services (DSS) for the Restoration to Competency Program services. The agreement would establish a jail-based Restoration to Competency Program.

Sheriff Milstead provided an explanation on restoration to competency programs noting the program ensures a defendant is competent enough to stand trial. More specifically, the defendant is educated to understand the justice system, the authority of the courts, the authority of the judge, the authority of the jury, what they are dealing with, and what they are facing. Eric Bogue, Chief Civil Deputy State’s Attorney, expressed Sheriff Milstead’s explanation was a good summarization of the program. MOTION by Heiberger, seconded by Barth, to authorize the Chair to sign the agreement between Minnehaha County and the South Dakota Department of Social Services for Restoration to Competency Program Services in the Minnehaha County Jail. 5 ayes.
