Marino, Youth Empowerment Services Advisory Board Chair Cc: Shelia Schult, County Clerk; Bruce Shell, County Manager; Chris Coudriet, Assistant County Manager; Avril Pinder, Assistant County Manager Date: June 19, 2012 Re: Youth Empowerment Services Advisory Board The Youth Empowerment Services Department, Pretrial Release and Drug Treatment Court Programs have consolidated to form the Community Justice Services Department as of the beginning of FY 2012/2013. The new Community Justice Services Department consists of the following established entities that provide regulation, monitoring, oversight and advisement. NC Department of Public Safety’s Juvenile Crime Prevention Council that meets bimonthly as a monitoring and advisory entity; Drug Treatment Courts’ state mandated Local Management Committee that meets biannually; Pretrial Release’s participation at the Quarterly Judicial Issues Meetings that provides a forum for discussion. It is recommended that the Youth Empowerment Services (YES) Advisory Board be disbanded as the purpose for which it was established is provided through existing means and it is no longer deemed necessary per consultation with the County Clerk’s and County Managers’ Offices. I respectfully request that approval be granted allowing the Youth Empowerment Services Advisory Board to be disbanded and move forward with an agenda item to the NHC, Board of Commissioners to accomplish this task. I believe this request is consistent with the manner in which Community Justice Services wishes to conduct business and be regarded as a NHC department that provides quality services to the youth and adults we serve.
