Carol McClelland motioned for minutes to be <br /> approved and was seconded by Bernard Miles. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Agency Roundtable <br /> Volunteers or Youth—YTD the Community Service program has served 63 and has 28 active. <br /> Ligo Dojo—Continue to receive referrals from DJJ. They are working on revamping the program due <br /> to budget cut and Amy will now serve as program director on a volunteer basis and Nathan will be <br /> focusing on other pieces of organization development. <br /> Boomerang—Last day of service for the school year was last Friday and YTD they served 165. <br /> Numbers were a little lower than last year but still on target. Towards the end of the year, they had <br /> more kids coming in for community service, drop-in, and tutoring. <br /> Freedom House—FAN has served 21 YTD, provided 37 client consults in April and May, 6 parents <br /> completed Common Sense Parenting, and 12 received Triple P certificates. There may also be a little <br /> restructuring of the FAN program due to a decline in numbers served. <br /> Dispute Settlement Center—Just finished Family Table in May for the year, but also for the time being <br /> as there will not be funding for the program, at least in the way it has operated for the past 15 years. <br /> This last group had 5 referred youth, 3 siblings, and 6 parents. They will be doing some work like <br /> Family Table,but in smaller groups within the schools, in the next year. Restorative Justice Program <br /> has served 21 youth (projected to serve 15). <br /> Haven House—In May they had 2 youth for a total of 21 days. At this time last year they had served 5 <br /> for 54 days, and this year they are at 8 youth for 121 days. About 2 years ago Wrenn House underwent <br /> a makeover except for the kitchen which stayed the same. Now, the kitchen renovation has finally <br /> been completed. <br /> DJJData—April: 16 distinct juveniles, 23 complaints, 3 approved for court, 11 juveniles diverted, 0 <br /> juveniles admitted to detention, 1 juvenile admitted to Wrenn House for 13 days, 1 electronic <br /> monitoring activations, 27 days on electronic monitoring, and 0 juveniles committed to YDC. <br />
