YSC Meeting Minutes 6/7/06 <br />Attendance; Tim Johnson, Becky Rushford, Arny Berger, Jennifer Wolfrum, Bill Blout, <br />Norman. Cohen, Karen Simmons, Bill Clark <br />-No new news from the advocacy task force. They may be deliberating further. Jen <br />Wolfrum is the liaison to this sub - committee group. <br />-It was mentioned that Winchester had won a $10,000.00 grant for a "Healthy <br />Wilmington ". Efforts to look into coordinating with Winchester and other communities <br />like it to see if they could assist us with grant applications will be examined. <br />-Jen Wolfrum discussed "rubrics" (used at the high school) and offered a model to be <br />worked on by group. The "rubrics" format helps establish objective criteria needed for <br />youth- focused community groups to receive support from the council. The group realizes <br />some groups may not come forward to the council for feedback, advice, and /or support. <br />There was some discussion about the set up of the model, which criteria include proposal <br />is clearly stated (i.e. youth emphasis), proposal reflects connections and collaboration <br />with community (i.e. collaborations documented), budget is detailed (i.e budget does not <br />compete with existing programs /requests). The group felt the sub - headings under criteria <br />were inline with our mission and met community needs without redundancy. Bill C. <br />proposed a time line for success with possible progress evaluations. Some changes <br />regarding structure were going to be made by Jennifer and brought back to the group for <br />further discussion. <br />-There was also discussion about other community groups working independently. It was <br />unanimous to have these groups meet with us and share their goals in an effort to <br />streamline youth services and have them work with our group as sub - committees. A <br />formal invitation was going to be sent to CPY to meet with us and discuss their strategies <br />and goals. <br />-Arny and Bill gave a mental health task force update. They are further along with getting <br />clinical consultation in high school. Consultation will hopefully begin in September. <br />-By September, the group hopes to have 2 high school students sitting on council. <br />Jennifer will check with guidance staff and deans and Bill C. will check with his Clergy <br />Association and get back to Becky. The group is looking for a sophomore or junior. <br />-The group also briefly discussed the override results. <br />Our next meeting is Wednesday September 13 from 3:00- 4:15pm, then we will <br />return to the first Wednesday of the month. Karen Simmons will be taking minutes. <br />Enjoy your summer. <br />
