The Natrona County Community Juvenile Services Board on April 28, 2026 approved its March 2026 minutes and March expenditures and moved to reallocate funds to training and participant incentives as part of a biennium spend-out plan.
Chair Amanda Lewallen called the meeting to order at 10:03 a.m. and the board unanimously approved the March minutes on a motion by Brittlyn Bulgrin, seconded by Andy Delgadillo. The board then unanimously approved March expenditures totaling $37,577.11, on a motion by Jared Holbrook and a second from Paul Fritzler. Meeting materials show the 2024–2026 biennial contract is 65% spent with about three months remaining and a remaining balance of $90,328.34.
The board approved a package of reallocations and training requests to spend remaining funds. Christopher Dresang moved to reallocate $3,007 from the drug-testing line to training and to approve $3,250 for Juvenile Detention Center (JDC) dog-therapy training, $300 for registration for the Wyoming Joint Symposium on Children & Youth for the district attorney’s office, and $3,130 for MFRC training; Paul Fritzler seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Separately, Paul Fritzler moved to approve $3,000 for CHINS incentives by reallocating $3,000 from drug testing; Tanner Christensen seconded and that motion passed unanimously.
The board also ratified approval of the Non-Participating States FY25 application allocating $10,000 to BBBS (less a 5% fiscal agent fee) on a motion by Jared Holbrook, seconded by Andy Delgadillo; the motion passed unanimously.
Board members noted these actions are intended to spend down the current biennium and to support training and diversion programming. Jared Holbrook noted that tickets being held in some cases are usually new citations on current cases and are being addressed by revocations. The board discussed administrative follow-up, including purchasing a laptop for a new board facilitator and convening a subcommittee to review a facilitator job description.
The board adjourned at 11:15 a.m.; the next meeting is scheduled for May 26 at 10 a.m. at DFS.
