IV. TEMPORARY CHAIR
AI gave the committee the option to elect a temporary chair. A unanimous
decision was made for staff to facilitate the meetings in Suzanne's
absence.
V. MEETING WITH PC DC
A brief discussion took place regarding the February 27, 2006 meeting
with PCDC. Several members missed the meeting due to scheduling
confusion. Key points from the meeting are highlighted in the February 27,
2006 minutes.
VI. ABUSE & NEGLECT
The committee is tasked with determining the desired results that the city
would like to see and the criteria that will be used to evaluate the
proposals. Proposed funding criteria is outlined on page 2 of the draft
proposal.
A pursuant discussion ensued regarding the one-stop center. The funding .
criteria as listed in the draft proposal highlight the main objectives of the
one-stop center. Hopefully, the outcome of these committee meetings will
help to get the one-stop center started.
It was decided that some of the weighting of points amongst the proposed
funding criteria needs to be re-allocated. A greater weighting should be
given to the issues that will have greater impacts on the desired results.
Each agency is expected to focus on one of the indicators and outline the
steps that they will take to achieve the desired results. The committee
decided on a three-year timeframe to achieve the desired results. A
unanimous decision was made that the goals need to be realistic so as to
not discourage the agencies. The committee agreed on the desired result
of a 15% decline in the number of abused and neglected children over a
three-year time period.
VII. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Another draft proposal was distributed on this topic which included some
facts and figures. Included was a baseline report that outlines the current
status as well as where the city will end up in three years if the trend
continues. Some of the indicators that were highlighted include: the .
number of cases reviewed by the legal department each year, the number

of violations of orders for protection, and the number of attendees of
impact panels. Some of the proposed desired results include:
collaborative community intervention, abusers being held accountable for
their actions, and written protocol among service providers and city
advocates for collaboration throughout the system.
The committee entered into a discussion about how the methods of
approaching these indicators. Several ideas for aiding in the solution were
proposed, but the committee is not tasked with making these decisions.
The committee decided on the desired result of a 15% reduction in the
number of cases that go before the court over a period of three years.
VIII. NEXT MEETING
There are two more topics to be covered by the committee; poverty, and
physically and mentally fit. Two special sessions will be held in order to

03/28/2006 at 4:00 p.m.
