JCPC Business <br /> Membership Vacancies — The Council was presented with two nominations , Kristi Lescinski and <br /> Aldan Salmeron, to fill the vacant Youth Under 18 positions . Carol McClelland motioned for <br /> Kristi and Aldan to be appointed as the new youth representatives and was seconded by Penny <br /> Rich . Motion carried unanimously . <br /> Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools slot is still vacant and Meg will reach out to the new <br /> superintendent to see about getting a representative designated . <br /> Program Monitoring — Programs will be emailed soon about the annual monitoring . Board <br /> members are still needed to help go out and do the monitoring . You don ' t have to attend every <br /> single one , but it ' s a good , hands - on way to learn about the funded programs a little more <br /> intimately . <br /> This committee is one of the most important because they review and make sure the programs <br /> are doing what they said they were going to in their program agreements . And if there are any <br /> concerns , the committee can recommend that the State go out and do a more in- depth <br /> monitoring , and possible even recommend the funding be stopped immediately if serious <br /> concerns are found . <br /> Risk & Needs Committee — Denise will be bringing Juvenile Court data to the meeting , but it is <br /> important to have a diverse group attend because there may be other trends happening that aren ' t <br /> reflected in that data . <br /> It was brought to the JCPC ' s attention that the new date that was selected now conflicts with <br /> another important Orange County collaborative meeting that a significant number of JCPC <br /> members attend . Rebekah will send out a Doodle Poll to help select another date/time . <br /> Conflict of Interest Form — All board members must sign a COI for the new fiscal year . Please <br /> complete if you haven ' t already for this fiscal year and give to Rebekah or Meg before you leave . <br /> Consultant Update <br /> Program providers need to go into NCALLIES and make sure that your client tracking data is <br /> correct and up -to - date because the state is preparing to do a data sweep and this will affect SPEP <br /> scores . After SPEP scores are run , program will then have to update their PEP (program <br /> enhancement plan) . Remember , while SPEP scores do not directly affect funding decisions , if <br /> identified on your PEP and you are not making any progress , the <br /> there are areas of improvement <br /> JCPC may consider that when making funding decisions . <br /> Raise the Age bill has passed in NC and will take effect on December 1 , 2019 . NCDPS juvenile <br /> justice staff have been divided up and assigned to a committee to help with the roll out . CAY <br /> ( Community Alternative for Youth) will be holding regional meetings that are going to be <br /> focused solely on Raise the Age and Deputy Commissioner Billy Lassiter will be attending and <br /> speaking at all the meetings . <br /> Denise has been going out to do program monitorings (Volunteers for Youth and Dispute <br /> Settlement Center) and has a couple more programs (Boomerang and Freedom House) that need <br /> to be scheduled . <br />
