Commissioner Biehl stated that they had a meeting that cleared up the IJJC role and the YAB in this project. Commissioner Hill motioned to approve the DMC Proposal. Seconded by Commissioner Biehl. Motion approved for up to $48,675 in additional funding. (This is in addition to the previously approved $25,000, for a project total of $73,675.)
Heidi explained the JJ Council proposal. Eleven sites have outreach based on DMC and JDAI data and others determined these sites. Currently, $200,000 for project, $150,000 for Conference. Heidi explained this is a real team effort. Motion to approve up to $400,000 made by IJJC Chairman Timberlake. Chairman Jacobs seconded the motion. All in favor, motion passed. A request from McArthur has been sent. They desire a sustainable event and we explained our use of JABG funds. We are hopeful but know there are no guarantees.
