The plan is that the conversion will be phased in gradually; money will come down locally to <br /> increase JCPC allocations so that programs can hire and train more staff. It will also give law <br /> enforcement time to hire and train more officers . <br /> Minutes Review and Approval <br /> The Council reviewed the minutes from February 2017 . Peggy Hamlett motioned for minutes to <br /> be approved and was seconded by Bernard Miles . Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Agency Roundtable/PEP Progress Report <br /> Boomerang — Served 135 youth YTD in Alternative to Suspension.

This is being done through partnership with <br /> Second Friday Art Walk, project of Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership . <br /> Volunteers for Youth — Community Service & Restitution program has served 40 kids YTD , <br /> which is less than is expected. Program also serves kids through MDP (not JCPC funded) and <br /> those numbers bring the total served up to a more normal level. Teen Court has served about 37 <br /> youth YTD . <br /> Freedom House — Numbers are down, currently served 33 YTD . Have Common Sense <br /> Parenting classes coming up , including dads group only in Durham.

The motion was seconded <br /> Bernard Miles . The floor was opened for review and discussion before voting . All programs <br /> were contacted prior to the meeting to inform them of the committee ' s recommendations. <br /> Child & Adolescent Outpatient Services is a new program that will serve uninsured and <br /> underinsured . It would provide services for 10 kids , including assessment and counseling <br /> sessions . This program is being conditionally recommended for funding because there is a <br /> proposal that will come before the BOCC to establish a position that would serve Juvenile <br /> Justice youth, providing services identical to what this program is proposing. The new position <br /> would not serve JCPC program youth if there is no active involvement in Juvenile Justice . If the <br /> BOCC votes to approve this position, the money would not go to Freedom House and would <br /> return to JCPC to determine how to reallocate . u <br /> i <br />
