The plan is that the conversion will be phased in gradually; money will come down locally to increase JCPC allocations so that programs can hire and train more staff. It will also give law enforcement time to hire and train more officers. Minutes Review and Approval The Council reviewed the minutes from February 2017. Peggy Hamlett motioned for minutes to be approved and was seconded by Bernard Miles. Motion carried unanimously. Agency Roundtable/PEP Progress Report Boomerang – Served 135 youth YTD in Alternative to Suspension. Seeing a lot more females, especially for fighting. Past few weeks have worked on Florafiti – planting of flowers in word forms. Youth have been working on poems and will be planting words from their poems and doing a spoken word presentation and art walk. This is being done through partnership with Second Friday Art Walk, project of Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership. Volunteers for Youth – Community Service & Restitution program has served 40 kids YTD, which is less than is expected. Program also serves kids through MDP (not JCPC funded) and those numbers bring the total served up to a more normal level. Teen Court has served about 37 youth YTD. Freedom House – Numbers are down, currently served 33 YTD. Have Common Sense Parenting classes coming up, including dads group only in Durham. A larger portion of participants in dads group graduate compared to regular groups. Dispute Settlement Center – Mediation/Conflict Resolution program served 15-16 youth YTD and Family Table has served 6 YTD. Will be running a 6 week Family Table program during the summer (across fiscal years). DJJ Data – February: 3 distinct juveniles, 6 complaints, 1 approved for court, 2 put on plan or contract, 2 school related offenses, and 1 juvenile on electronic monitoring for 28 days. March: 10 distinct juveniles, 15 complaints, 3 approved for court, 7 put on a plan or contract, 7 school related offenses, 2 juveniles in detention for 6 days, and 1 juvenile on electronic monitoring for 3 days. JCPC Business Funding Committee – The Funding Committee motioned that the funding recommendations be approved, with the Child & Adolescent Outpatient Services program being conditionally approved pending the outcome of a BOCC vote on a new position. The motion was seconded Bernard Miles. The floor was opened for review and discussion before voting. All programs were contacted prior to the meeting to inform them of the committee’s recommendations. Child & Adolescent Outpatient Services is a new program that will serve uninsured and underinsured. It would provide services for 10 kids, including assessment and counseling sessions. This program is being conditionally recommended for funding because there is a proposal that will come before the BOCC to establish a position that would serve Juvenile Justice youth, providing services identical to what this program is proposing. The new position would not serve JCPC program youth if there is no active involvement in Juvenile Justice. If the BOCC votes to approve this position, the money would not go to Freedom House and would return to JCPC to determine how to reallocate.
