Paris Ballroom | Paris
The concept of smart communities is evolving as states, counties and municipalities rally around the promise of smart to reshape our collective thinking. How our communities run in the future and how citizens perceive government services depends on our ability to embrace smart. Smart communities push aside politics and preconceptions in favor of data and analytics to make decisions. High-performing organizations use location as the standard analytical approach to achieve new insight. Increasingly, smart devices, the "Internet of things" and cloud computing feed data on the locations of people, nature, vehicles, and infrastructure. If you are interested in learning about how how you seemingly unrelated trends from technology, policy, and digital transformation can change the way you solve for real world problems, this is the session for you. We will explore how:
- Geo-enabling data and enterprise systems can bring about business intelligence
- Communities are leveraging technological advances to support infrastructure needs, social inequities, housing issues, and transportation networks
- Communities can lead the way through the use of the geospatial infrastructure

Local government agencies need affordable technology solutions that make it easy to capture, access and utilize housing data. Many counties currently store random housing data that varies by funding source, in excel workbooks or antiquated and siloed databases making it difficult to access and use the data. ProLink Solutions provides software solutions to capture, manage, and report on the large quantity of housing and tenant data required by jurisdictions for outcome reporting. ProLink’s goal is to help localities capture and maintain consistent housing and tenant data metrics, from time of application through annual compliance monitoring, so they can make prudent lending decisions and effectively address economic inequality based on current and historical data. The added bonus of adopting ProLink’s data standards is that localities could also agree to share similar data metrics with neighboring jurisdictions in order to collaboratively address economic inequality across county lines.

Las Vegas 5 & 6, Jubilee Tower-3rd Fl. | Bally's
Counties across America are seeking to break down barriers to justice while simultaneously increasing court efficiencies. Barriers to accessing justice differ from individual to individual.

While technology cannot help the public overcome every challenge faced within the court system, Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) can be a significant step towards closing the gap between the privileged and the underserved in the eyes of the law. Learn how the Family Mediation Center in Clark County, Nevada, leveraged this technology to help residents avoid having to miss work to attend hearings during court hours, resulting in 100% of the cases reaching a resolution outside of the court’s normal operating hours.

3:45 pm to 5:00 pmNACo-NSA Health Care and Jails Task Force Town Hall
Platinum | Bally's
County jails have become the largest behavioral health facilities in the nation due to the over-incarceration of individuals with mental illness and substance use disorders. The Medicaid Inmate Exclusion Policy (MIEP) strips federal health and veterans’ benefits from individuals upon admission to jail – not upon conviction to conviction – leading to increased recidivism. Join a listening session about NACo and the National Sheriffs' Association's new joint task force to reduce jail inmate recidivism through continuity of health care services, focusing on passing legislation to ease or undo the MIEP and reinstate federal health care benefits for non-convicted, justice-involved individuals. Download NACo’s “Federal Policy Impacts on County Jail Inmate Healthcare & Recidivism” publication here.

8:00 am to 9:15 amReducing Criminal Justice Fines & Fees: Can Counties Afford it?
Las Vegas Ballroom 1 & 2, Jubilee Tower-3rd Fl. | Bally's
As jurisdictions have seen revenue from taxes and grants shrink, many have turned to administrative fees as a way to help fund the criminal justice system. Today, it is common for defendants to pay fees for: being booked in jail, making phone calls inside the jail, diversion, indigent defense, posting a bond, being sentenced to probation, and restoring driver licenses, among other actions. Judges can also order convicted individuals to pay a fine for each guilty charge, often in lieu of jail time. However, data shows that the criminal justice system disproportionately impacts the poor, and the responsibility of paying fines and fees can lead to devastating effects for these individuals, significant costs to county government to attempt to collect less than 100 percent of levied fees and fines, and unintended consequences within other areas government. National experts and county leaders will discuss their experiences and work to better align policy goals while balancing revenue impacts and upholding public safety.
