The motion was seconded by Dr. Thaqi and passed with no opposing votes. b) Reminder of September TRIM Hearings: Mayor Furr reminded Members of the importance of the two TRIM Hearings in September. He noted that there was concern of meeting quorum for the first Hearing at 5:01pm on September 6th, especially with the Child Protection Summit occurring that day in Orlando. He surveyed the Members at the dais and received an expression of planned 1 attendance toward the quorum from Dr. Thaqi, Mr. Powers, Ms. Valladares, Superintendent Runcie, and Mr. Benitez. Ms. Bartleman had previously noted her planned attendance. Mr. Melvin and Judge Gillespie stated they would be in Orlando for the Summit, but Judge Gillespie offered to drive back for the Hearing if needed and if given advanced notice. Ms. Donnelly noted she would join via phone, and Ms. Schneider indicated she had a flight that day, but would see if she could make it later to attend the Hearing. Superintendent Runcie arrived. IV. President’s Report: a) Good of the Order: Members viewed a news clip highlighting the CSC-funded, YMCA STEP program at Rick Case Automotive Group. Members viewed the Forever Family anniversary video clip. Ms. Arenberg Seltzer introduced Ms. Krista Flannigan, Consultant to the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime, who joined CSC’s June meeting via video to explain an upcoming opportunity for the community to apply for federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funds to address long-term recovery efforts following the trauma of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Ms. Arenberg Seltzer outlined some possible funding gaps in trauma-centered mental health services in the community, noting that the Council may need to consider possible bridge funding at its September meeting. Ms. Arenberg Seltzer drew Members’ attention to the photo collage in the meeting packet of the recent Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies’ Fatherhood graduation ceremony. She noted that since its inception in 2009, more than 200 men have graduated from the program, which consists of 12 weekly group sessions. She further noted that 97% have successfully completed the 24/7 Dad Curriculum, 100% of the fathers who completed the curriculum actively spend time with their children, and that 100% of the fathers have achieved one or more goals on their case plan. Ms. Arenberg Seltzer highlighted the CSC-funded EMPYRE (Educate, Mentor, Prepare Youth Ready for Employment) Internship Program at the Museum of Discovery and Science. She explained that this program is a year-round internship program that allows young adults between the ages of 18-22 to participate in employability skills training and work experience. Ms. Arenberg Seltzer drew Members’ attention to the positive feedback on the CSC- funded Y-WIC program that was included in the meeting packet. Ms. Arenberg Seltzer highlighted the recent You Matter Youth Rally, which was hosted by On-Call Leadership, a grassroots organization partnering in the Communities of Promise Initiative. She commended the efforts of Mr. Andrew Leone, Director of Communications & Community Engagement; Ms. Melissa Soza, Programs Manager; Cynthia Reynoso, Senior Programs Manager; and Arnold “JB” Jean-Baptiste, Senior Community Outreach Manager. CSC was a sponsor of this rally that featured conversations between youth 2 and police officers from the City of Fort Lauderdale Police Department, as well as educational workshops on personal development, civic engagement, gun violence, and know your status. Youth took pre and post workshop tests, with 30% answering correctly in the pre-test, and 70% answering correctly in the post-test. Ms. Arenberg Seltzer was part of a Forum for Youth Investment event at Harvard with local children’s cabinets.
