JCPC approves minutes, leadership slate and a $6,003.55 Aspire budget revision
Summary
At its June 11 meeting, the Buncombe County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council voted to approve the prior meeting minutes, confirm committee chairs and approve a $6,003.55 line-item budget revision for Aspire.
The Buncombe County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council voted Wednesday to approve its previous meeting minutes, confirm committee chairs for the coming year and approve a $6,003.55 line-item budget revision for an Aspire program.
The vote on the minutes was moved during the meeting and carried by voice vote. Council members then voted to confirm George Redmond as JCPC chair and the committee chairs and assignments reported by staff. Later in the meeting, the council approved a requested line-item budget revision for Aspire that increased several expense categories and decreased others by a net $6,003.55.
Why it matters: approvals of minutes and leadership set the council’s operating roster for the year and allow committees to proceed with planning, monitoring and allocations. The Aspire budget vote changes how that contracted program will allocate existing funding across expense lines, and the council approved the revision because it included salary changes that affect program delivery.
Details of the Aspire revision: Kim Casano, identified in the meeting as representing Aspire, told members the submission was a line-item revision with no change to revenue sources. Casano said the program reduced several line items including salaries and wages, fringe benefits, a contract coach, fuel and utilities and office rent, and increased communications, accounting, staff training, insurance and small equipment. “We made increases in the amount of $6,003.55, the same amount in decreases,” Casano said.
Council procedure: Staff clarified that salary changes trigger JCPC review because they affect program delivery and staffing. After discussion there was a motion to approve the Aspire revision; the chair called for a voice vote and the motion passed.
