At the start of the Nov. 20, 2025 meeting, the Dunn County Criminal Justice Collaborating Council approved the Aug. 21 minutes by voice vote, heard an award presentation and confirmed two citizen-member nominations for 2026.
Chair Chris Meyer introduced the CJCC Lighthouse distinguished service award for Chris (the transcript spells the name both as 'Chris Corpula' and 'Chris Korpala'); staff invited the awardee to come forward and offered brief remarks of appreciation. The council then considered confirmation of the 2026 citizen-member nominations. The chair read nominations for Jamie Dardeen (Bridge to Hope) and Rod Smelter (retired Dunn County circuit court judge); a motion and second were recorded, no discussion followed, members signaled assent and the reappointments passed.
No substantive public comment was received during the meeting. The council moved on to its education component and program reports.
