Donna King motioned for minutes to be approved <br />and was seconded by Peggy Hamlett. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Agency Roundtable <br />Volunteers for Youth – Everything is going well and they are getting ready for summer. Numbers have <br />picked up and they are getting close to meeting their identified target number. <br />Ligo Dojo – They have received two new referrals and will begin preparing to close out the program. <br />Freedom House – FAN has served 45 families and is beginning the close out process. It is Carol’s <br />understanding that Orange County is looking for somewhere to possibly house that type of programming <br />because FAN will not be continuing through Freedom House. <br />Dispute Settlement Center – Restorative Justice Program has six new youth for a total of 25 this year. <br />Wrenn House – They currently have an Orange County youth staying with them. <br />Boomerang – Served a total of 143 referrals, which is down from last year. This isn’t too much of a <br />surprise given that they knew they have been having trouble serving youth from Orange County Schools <br />due to transportation issues. Substance use and fighting were the two most common reasons for <br />suspension. Boomerang will be opening another location for next school year to better serve Orange <br />County School students. The space will be over at Orange Works. <br />JJ Data Report/Update <br />No update again this month as their data system is still being updated and they are unable to run reports at <br />this time. Amanda will update the Council with all missed months of data as soon as it’s available again. <br /> <br />JCPC Business <br />Officer Nominations – Ballots for FY19-20 JCPC Chair and Vice Chair were distributed to voting <br />members and collected. <br /> <br />Membership Review – If you are a current JCPC member and know you will not be able to serve in FY19- <br />20, please let us know as we are preparing the membership list to be presented to the BOCC for vote. <br /> <br />Monitoring Committee – One of the JCPC responsibilities is the yearly monitoring of currently funded <br />programs. This usually happens during the month of January and all programs were successfully
