Business:

    First State Bank still wants to continue to work with PC². We need to get out of the red, this has placed the bank in a bad spot for 78 days of overage. Looking at obtaining a 4 week loan.

    $16,000 of SPIF/SIG has been approved. There will also be an audit of SPIF/SIG.

    $3,000 in funds from the State has been located, and should be on hand by the end of the week.

    Kit has talked with Amber from the State. Amber has asked for a budget for the months of November and December and they may be able to help with returned funds from a program which has stopped operation. The monies come from the Department of Education. We would need $25,000 to make it through the remainder of the year.

    Salaries still remain to be the biggest issue.

    With all loans paid off and draw downs caught up we should be $1,300 in the black with all loans paid off.

Discussion: We need to work on a timing system (voucher system). This voucher system needs to be in place and working next month. APPROVED.

Amendment to by-laws to adjust payment dates needs to be examined. The idea will be to work with cash at hand. Approval to go into the operating loan, by board. Motion by Nancy Robinson 2^nd by Steve Loyd. APPROVED.

    Issue with the 5^th Cohort Grant 91% has been used in the first 6 months. Still 2 months left with a balance of $00.00.

    3^rd and 4^th Cohort ended in 2009, returned approximately $45,000.00. Going to check to see if the money can be reclaimed for use until the end of the year. Initially- All Stars were set for budget out of 3 grants initially-then two of the three grants closed and 5^th Cohort was used more than intended.

Krist read an e-mail from George Kopf stating the PC² needs to be more fiscally responsible. Concerns about operating in the red, we may need to suspend daily operations until the grants are in the bank.

The participants must complete 25 hours of community service, and one of the following classes: Choice Theory, Alive at 25, or Tobacco Cessation class

 

Discussion: The tobacco cessation class has not been requested in more than a year. PC² needs a definition of the program and criteria of being able to attend the program. What qualifies as an offense to be placed on diversion, and what determines the completion of the diversion program.

New:

The meeting was not able to approve motions or recommendations because there was not a quorum. An Emergency meeting will be held within two weeks to determine a governing board of 8 members. This Board will determine who will make up the 5 need for a quorum.

 

The next meeting will also have to determine approval of the 2010 budget.

 

Meeting ended: 9:45 am

 

Submitted: Krista West

 

Goals: To increase positive academic/community engagement thereby addressing the behaviors of young people leading to substance use and inappropriate behaviors. In addition, the goal is to increase communication and bonding between parents and children. Encouraging families to communicate and be more involved in each other's lives would foster higher self-esteem in youth and aide in their ability to have better refusal skills and more success in schools.
