V. Old Business
a. Status of data requests from police departments. - Alice reports that no police departments have responded to date. A second request will go out to the Chiefs, second in command and SRO’s.
b. Identification of barriers to obtaining data information and problem solving. Increasing communication to obtain the data may be helpful. Suggested to speak with Brenda Karales to include a request for school data during the Superiintendent luncheon at the ROE at the start of the school year.
VI. New Business
a. Identification of existing Continuum of Delinquency Prevention/ Juvenile Justice Plan as it is currently. Members were able to identify some services but decided to coordinate with another JJC committee creating the resource guide to ensure all programs are identified. Alice will create a draft of the continuum for next meeting based off of today’s suggestions.
b. Creation of a model Continuum of Delinquency Prevention / Juvenile Justice Plan as we would like it to be. - The Committee brainstormed and drafted a proposed Kendall County Continuum of Delinquency Prevention Plan. The intention is to fill in the continuum of known programs and services by coordinating with JJC committee working on the resource guide. Gaps to be identified based on data received from police departments, schools, and probation. A request for service providers to fill the gaps will be a future step.
VII. Citizens to be heard- Jessica Deets, indicating a desire to be added as a member. She will be added as a member and Zach Klatt has been asked to be removed as a member due to involvement in other committees. Both will be addressed at the next Board of Directors Meeting.
