Conflict of Interest form—This year, the state is allowing for the forms to be completed electronically and your typed name will serve as your signature. An email went out to the Council members with instructions on how to complete the form. Please reach out to Rebekah or Denise if you have any questions or problems when completing the form. FY2020-21 Work Plan—Members please review the work plan for the coming year to see what activities the JCPC will be undertaking during which months. Please note,the work plan is fluid based on the meeting calendar of this JCPC. It is meant to be a guide to help the JCPCs stay on track with meeting the legislative mandates. This year with COVID, the monitoring visits will be interesting because they will most likely need to be completed virtually and may be challenging when needing to gather certain documentation or view a facility. A question was asked about the possible change to funding cycle from one year to two year program agreements. House Bill 593 was passed that approved a two-year funding cycle and the department is still in the process of getting together the parameters of what this will Iook like. Denise isn't sure what it will look like or even when it will take effect. There are lots of details that need to be worked out and there will be talking points coming out from the Department once things have been worked out. There will still be safety nets in place to ensure that programs are compliant with their agreements and if not, actions that can be taken to stop funding. We spend so much of the second semester focused on the RFP and Funding Committee that this two-year funding cycle will free the Council up to work on some other things. Consultant Update Reminder that Final Accounting is due in NCALLIES by August 14, so please start working on that. If you need any technical assistance,please reach out to Denise. The revised JCPC Policy Manual has been sent out and Denise will take the lead at the next meeting to take the lead to discuss the changes. She will also meet with the programs to discuss changes to program types. Annually, every JCPC must complete a Certification that states that the legislative mandates are being met so that the county can receive the funds. As part of the Certification, there is a membership list that goes to the legislature to ensure diversity is being met. As part of House Bill 593,there were three memberships that were changed: "or Designee"was added to Chief of Police because that was an oversight that happened years ago; Director of Mental Health... has been revised; and Two Youth under Age of 18 has been revised to Two Under Age 21 or One Under 21 and One person that represents interests of Youth. Denise encourages the Council to consider someone from Workforce Development, Guardian Ad Litem, or School Counselor, as an example. Hot Topics Orange Partnership has always had youth members as part of the alcohol and drug abuse prevention team in Orange County Schools.
