<br /> Minutes Review and Approval
<br /> The Council reviewed the minutes from April 2018. Carol McClelland motioned for minutes to be
<br /> approved and was seconded by Bernard Miles. Motion carried unanimously.
<br /> Agency Roundtable
<br /> Volunteers or Youth—YTD the Community Service program has served 63 and has 28 active.
<br /> Ligo Dojo—Continue to receive referrals from DJJ. They are working on revamping the program due
<br /> to budget cut and Amy will now serve as program director on a volunteer basis and Nathan will be
<br /> focusing on other pieces of organization development.
<br /> Boomerang—Last day of service for the school year was last Friday and YTD they served 165.
<br /> Numbers were a little lower than last year but still on target. Towards the end of the year, they had
<br /> more kids coming in for community service, drop-in, and tutoring.
<br /> Freedom House—FAN has served 21 YTD, provided 37 client consults in April and May, 6 parents
<br /> completed Common Sense Parenting, and 12 received Triple P certificates. There may also be a little
<br /> restructuring of the FAN program due to a decline in numbers served.
<br /> Dispute Settlement Center—Just finished Family Table in May for the year, but also for the time being
<br /> as there will not be funding for the program, at least in the way it has operated for the past 15 years.
<br /> This last group had 5 referred youth, 3 siblings, and 6 parents. They will be doing some work like
<br /> Family Table,but in smaller groups within the schools, in the next year. Restorative Justice Program
<br /> has served 21 youth (projected to serve 15).
<br /> Haven House—In May they had 2 youth for a total of 21 days. At this time last year they had served 5
<br /> for 54 days, and this year they are at 8 youth for 121 days. About 2 years ago Wrenn House underwent
<br /> a makeover except for the kitchen which stayed the same. Now, the kitchen renovation has finally
<br /> been completed.
<br /> DJJData—April: 16 distinct juveniles, 23 complaints, 3 approved for court, 11 juveniles diverted, 0
<br /> juveniles admitted to detention, 1 juvenile admitted to Wrenn House for 13 days, 1 electronic
<br /> monitoring activations, 27 days on electronic monitoring, and 0 juveniles committed to YDC.
