No significant issues or problems were identified but one program <br /> is being referred to Denise for follow-up because their cost centers were significantly under expended <br /> (related to pandemic). They are being referred because a check"yes"requires automatic referral. Across <br /> the board the numbers served are all low because of the pandemic but all programs have done an excellent <br /> job being creative and shifting programming. <br /> During the monitoring with Dispute Settlement Center a topic came up about at least starting a <br /> conversation as it relates to social injustice and racial disparity. It would be good to have a conversation <br /> as a JCPC about the impact this is having on the youth we serve and looking at how the agencies are <br /> structured to make sure we aren't having any adverse effects on the youth. This can be discussed a little <br /> later during Hot Topic session. <br /> Risk&Needs Committee report—The committee met on February 3`d to look at data from the Department <br /> of court-involved involved and get input/feedback from community programs. One of the tasks of the <br /> committee is to develop a RFP based on this information. The anticipated allocation and match <br /> requirement remain unchanged from last year. The dates for advertisement are February 8 to March 11 <br /> (the wrong year was typed; Denise will revise before posting). They types of programs that the committee <br /> identified as being needed are listed on the RFP (an attachment will also be included that describes each <br /> program type), along with risk factors and identified needs. <br /> There will be a voluntary,applicant workshop on February 10 hosted by some of the Area Consultants <br /> that will be especially beneficial for new applicants. Topics will include policy and reporting <br /> requirements,how to get NCID and get into NCALLIES and complete an application. Since it's such a <br /> tight turnaround, Denise will work one-on-one with any new applicants who are not able to attend. <br /> Q: Will the workshop be recorded? <br /> A: They typically do record them but the Consultants down east will be the host. Denise will make sure to <br /> the get link. <br /> RFP Review & Vote—Amanda Farris motioned to accept the RFP with the amended closing date and <br /> include the program description attachment and was seconded by Carol McClelland. Motion carried <br /> unanimously. <br />
