34 <br /> the group that adding this would need to be for un/underinsured only as Medicaid resources do cover <br /> these services. On past RFPs, it was worded as "Assessment/Treatment Programs for the <br /> Un/Underinsured (Including Substance Abuse; Trauma Based Therapy)". However,the county now offers <br /> assessment services to any youth in need regardless of insurance status. Council agrees that assessment <br /> services are available in the county and focuses the conversation on treatment programs instead. <br /> Discussion continues on wording and finally settle on"Individual and Group Counseling, and Substance <br /> Abuse Treatment (specifically un/underinsured and trauma-focused)". <br /> Carol McClelland made a motion to accept to approve the RFP as written with the addition of a program <br /> type worded"Individual and Group Counseling, and Substance Abuse Treatment (specifically <br /> un/underinsured and trauma-focused)" and was seconded by Amanda Farris. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> Monitoring Committee: <br /> At least three volunteers are needed from the Council to for this committee. All necessary documents and <br /> instructions will be provided to stay in compliance. <br /> Q: How often do they meet? <br /> A: Maybe twice a year, an initial meeting to divvy responsibilities, then each will meet with their <br /> assigned program(s) and submit a finalized monitoring report. <br /> Volunteers: Judge Hathaway Pendergrass, Amy Fowler and Carol McClelland. Judge Pendergrass advises <br /> the three of them will meet to decide duties. <br /> RED Committee: <br /> After last meeting's guest presentation on the county's One Orange initiative,the Council voted to <br /> approve the creation of a RED Committee. Members are needed to join this committee. <br /> Q: What was the Red Committee? <br /> A: Racial and Ethnic Disparities subcommittee. Toshina states she has been in contact with the RED <br /> coordinator at the state level who can provide data for the group and who has been working closely with <br /> JCPCs and area consultants to prepare the information. Once she follows up with her she will provide us <br /> the information. <br /> Q: Is this similar to a previous committee, the Disproportionate Minority Contact? <br /> A: Yes. <br /> Q: Is this for JCPC committee members only or can others participate as well? <br /> A: It is a subcommittee that anyone can potentially volunteer to participate. <br /> Val Hanson believes DSC would like to have rep; they will talk between them and advise. Other <br /> volunteers include: Crista Collazo, Donna King, and Amanda Farris. <br /> JJ Data Update <br /> October— 17 juveniles at intake; 30 delinquent complaints; 2 undisciplined complaint; 6 school based <br /> complaints; 21 complaints approved for court; 5 complaints diverted; 6 complaints closed; 2 juvenile <br /> placed in detention for 35 days; 0 days used at Wrenn House; and 0 YDC admissions. <br /> November— 18 juveniles at intake; 23 delinquent complaints; 5 undisciplined complaint; 10 school based <br /> complaints; 9 complaints approved for court; 0 complaints diverted; 0 complaints closed; 3 juvenile <br /> placed in detention for 40 days; 0 days used at Wrenn House; and 0 YDC admissions. <br />
