looking for a program to provide a curriculum that includes both the parent and child that FAN does not <br />currently do through Common Sense Parenting. Prior to making the decision to not recommend FAN for <br />funding, the Committee asked Freedom House if they would be able to switch curriculum to one that <br />includes the child, but they were not able to answer definitively without approval from executive <br />leadership first. <br /> <br />Funding Recommendations Vote – <br />The Funding Committee motioned that: <br />• JCPC Admin be approved for $8,178 and was seconded by Donna King <br />• Wrenn House be approved for $10,722 and was seconded by Beverly Scarlett <br />• Teen Court be approved for $61,330 and was seconded by Gayane Chambless <br />• Restitution & Community Service be approved for $69,870 and was seconded by Gayane Chambless <br />• Mediation & Conflict Resolution be approved for $40,500 and was seconded by Stephanie Jones <br />• Boomerang be approved for $28,131 and was seconded by Donna King <br />Motions carried with 12 votes; Carol McClelland and Gayane Chambless abstaining from the vote. <br /> <br />RFP Review and Vote – <br />The anticipated county allotment is $59,000 with a 30% local/county match and projected advertisement <br />date of April 8, 2019 and deadline of May 10, 2019. As you look down the announcement, the targeted <br />program type is for Interpersonal Skill Building only and curriculum must include parent(s)/guardian(s) <br />and youth. <br /> <br />If no programs apply for these funds, or if no programs are selected for funding, then the $59,000 can <br />remain unallocated until December 31, 2019. At any point until that time, the JCPC can decide to release <br />another RFP or to allocate the remaining funds to currently funded programs. <br /> <br />The Funding Committee motioned for the RFP to be approved and was seconded by Carol McClelland. <br />Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Continuum of Services Review and Update – <br />Denise provided a brief overview of how to read the document and explained that this chart is meant to <br />show a possible continuum of services for youth who are at-risk, committed to a YDC, and post-release <br />from YDC. Denise has asked that everyone review the document and email Rebekah and/or Denise with <br />any notes. <br /> <br />A question was asked about substance abuse residential treatment being classified as “available but <br />difficult to access”. There are currently only three providers in the State where youth can go for <br />residential substance abuse treatment. Recently there has been some Medicaid <br />reformation/transformation where insurers have the ability to do behavioral health as well as physical <br />health, and five have been selected. Currently there are lawsuits pending about the selection process and <br />until those have been settled, no changes will go into effect. But until 2021, Cardinal will be managing <br />services as is; after 2021 they will manage only the complex cases and everyone else will manage the <br />standard plans. For example, if a youth is assigned to the standard plan and is receiving outpatient <br />services but requires something more intensive services under the enhanced services (such as in-home), <br />there is a process that will need to happen to get the youth transferred into the new plan. <br /> <br />County Plan Addendum – <br />Reviewed Risk and Needs data of 16 and 17 year olds that have been involved in juvenile court in Orange <br />County.
