Go ahead. Are you going to read the first one? Not yet. I will do that. 00:07:38
Foster Care Month, May 2024, Whereas we recognize and appreciate our dedicated Well County Foster and Kinship caregivers, child 00:07:43
welfare professionals and faith-based and community organizations who are building stronger communities and improving the lives of 00:07:51
children, youth and families by tirelessly providing advocacy, nurturing and unwavering care for our at risk. 00:07:59
Especially honoring and celebrating Foster and kinship parents and our dedicated child welfare professionals signed by our Board 00:09:22
of Commissioners. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Commissioners. Jamie, Oregon Department of Human Services, I want to thank you 00:09:29
very much for this proclamation today. This is always an important time for us and a great way for us to celebrate the foster 00:09:35
families, our community partners and as far as our staff at work. So tireless tirelessly is as was stated in the proclamation to 00:09:42
really. 00:09:48
Ensure that. 00:09:56
Our children in White County are growing up in safe and nurturing environments. I want to thank you and the rest of the board for 00:09:57
the proclamation and we have here. White County drastically reduced the number of children and youth and higher levels of care 00:10:03
over the past five years, which is a tremendous accomplishment and speaks to the hard, hard work of our staff. Foster parents 00:10:08
provide critical investments in the well-being, safety and sense of stability that is essential for children and youth when they 00:10:14
need it the most. 00:10:20
And in addition to caring for the children and youth in their home, many of our foster parents have become highly skilled in 00:10:26
supporting efforts towards reunification. We're very honored today to have two of our foster families here today that I would love 00:10:34
to introduce. And if you wouldn't mind standing up and when I introduce you and then I have a few words to to say about the good 00:10:41
work that you're doing. So let's start with Jim. We have Jim done here, but it's Jim and Gary who are our foster parents. 00:10:49
And they brought two of their adopted children, Sebastian and Janessa, here with us today. 00:10:57
And these are routes from Jaya Howard Hartwell regarding the Dunn family, the Dunn St. every child in their home like their own 00:11:08
child. The level of care, concern and affection that each child is shown is truly inspirational. The Dunns are supportive of 00:11:15
efforts to reunify parents and children and ensure that children are made available for visits, therapy and other services 00:11:21
designed to help reunify the parents and child. 00:11:28
Finally, the DUNS are consummate professionals who accommodate visits in their home by social workers, service providers and 00:11:35
guardian athletes, to name a few. I cannot recommend the Dunn family high enough for this recognition. Thank you so much, Jim. 00:11:43
We also Kristen Bershaw and Jody Kiefer here today. You would stand up. Thank you. 00:11:57
These are some words from our foster care coordinator, Michelle Cervantes about the Bershel Kiefer family. Kristen and Jody are 00:12:08
being recognized for their amazing efforts and commitment towards ongoing protection and continued efforts toward reunification 00:12:13
for the two boys in their care. 00:12:19
Jody and Kristen have demonstrated outstanding compassion, love and care for the two boys and have welcomed welcomed them into 00:12:25
their home for the past five years. While circumstances have rendered continued involvement of DHS child welfare in the lives of 00:12:31
these young men, Jody and Kristen continue to show consistency and commitment to the boys and have taken on the role of parental 00:12:37
figures and protectors. Kristen and Jody are amazing parents to their two children, great educators and overall supporters to the 00:12:43
people around them. 00:12:49
Thank you so much. 00:12:56
And lastly, I would like to introduce some of our staff and community partners that are here to celebrate this proclamation. So 00:13:01
please stand up when I call your name. 00:13:06
From DHS, we have Christy Deanda. 00:13:12
John, Karen. Are of my own is Kelly Cross, Julie Rudley, Melissa Gilliam. 00:13:16
Michelle Cervantes. 00:13:25
Jamie Irwin. 00:13:27
Nicole is the closure. Yeah, Nicole, stand on it and Tammy Grits. And did I forget any of our staff members? 00:13:30
OK. Thank you so much. Congratulations. 00:13:42
And then our community partners from Northern Colorado, Youth for Christ, we have Megan Packard. 00:13:49
Dr. Sweper. 00:13:58
They were all there. 00:14:00
Isabelle Nathaniel Ross. 00:14:03
Ruthie Roth from Foster Source Love Renee Bernard. And I think Renee might have a few guests here with her today. And then we also 00:14:06
have Jesse Rocky from Faster Source. Thank you so much for the. 00:14:14
So I'm sure we have Commissioner comments, Commissioner saying I just really love the fact that the goal is to wrap the rub around 00:14:26
the entire community. And and I know your goal, your number one goal is reunification with the birth parents and. But in the 00:14:32
meantime we're showing those kids love them in a good stable environment and you know taking on our most vulnerable children when 00:14:38
they are in some of these situations that are just devastating to hear about and doing that at the last minute, sometimes at 00:14:44
midnight. 00:14:50
Sometimes these kids come with absolutely nothing. And so I just wanted to tell all of you that the community really supports you. 00:14:56
We are working to get churches to wrap around you with services and whatever that you need. It's just that important to swim 00:15:03
upstream to where the brokenness is, meet it there and do whatever we can to make sure those kids stay in a stable, loving home 00:15:09
and support those foster families through some very difficult times as they tend that child 24/7. So I just want to thank you all 00:15:16
so very much. 00:15:22
Well, I agree with everything that's been said. And I'll never forget 3 1/2 years ago I got to be apart with a caseworker to go 00:16:02
out and see a family being put whole. They had gone through all the rigmarole. It touched my heart so much. So I want to thank the 00:16:09
foster families that are here. I want to thank the staff. You do an amazing job. We are so grateful and so proud of all of you. So 00:16:16
thank you. Thank you. 00:16:23
Can we have everyone come up there? OK, please everyone that I announced, come up and let's do a picture. 00:16:32
You know what? 00:16:41
She goes everything, yes. 00:16:57
A little bit more guys. I'm going to have to have some people in front as well. 00:17:12
Stand in front of me. 00:17:16
And guys a little bit more. 00:17:22
All right, everybody ready, 123. 00:17:31
Thank you. 00:17:39
Thank you. 00:17:40
Well, I have to say, being the oldest Commissioner, I am delighted to read our next proclamation. 00:18:14
So Proclamation of the Americans Month, May 2024, whereas May is older Americans Month, a time for us to recognize and honor Weld 00:18:23
Counties, older adults and their immense influence on every facet of American Society. And whereas through their wealth of life, 00:18:31
experience and wisdom, Older adults guide our younger generations and carry for forward abundant cultural and historical knowledge 00:18:38
and whereas older Americans improve our communities through intergenerational. 00:18:46
Relationships, community service, civic engagement, and other activities. 00:18:53
And whereas communities benefit when people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds have the opportunity to participate and live 00:18:58
independently. And whereas Will County Area Agency on Aging must ensure that older Americans have the resources and support needed 00:19:05
to stay involved in their communities, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity and connectedness. Now, therefore, be it 00:19:13
proclaimed by the Board of Well County Commissioners that May 2024 be known as Older Americans Month. 00:19:20
This year's theme, Powered by Connection, emphasizes the profound impact of meaningful interactions and social connections on 00:19:28
well-being and health of older adults in our community. We call upon all residents to join us in recognizing the contribution of 00:19:35
our older citizens and promoting programs and activities that foster connection, inclusion and support for older adults. Signed by 00:19:41
all county commissioners. Good morning, Tammy. Good morning, commissioners. Thank you. Tammy Grant, Deputy Director of the 00:19:47
Department of Human Services. 00:19:53
I echo Jamies earlier settlements. We appreciate your time on this morning and our opportunity to showcase some of the great work 00:20:00
that is happening within the area agency on aging in the Department of Human Services and also a lot of our community partners and 00:20:07
trusted AAA board advisory members, so. 00:20:14
One of the things that we wanted to highlight today is that this act, actually the Older Americans Act, was passed in 1965. 00:20:23
And a fun fact about that is it is 2 weeks older than both Medicare and Medicaid. So that puts things into perspective there. This 00:20:31
year's theme is powered by connection, focusing on profound impact at meaningful connections have on the well-being and health of 00:20:39
our older Americans. A relationship underscored by the US Surgeon Surgeon General's advisory on the healing effects of social 00:20:46
connection and community ensuring that older adults have remained involved and connected with communities for as long as possible. 00:20:54
Benefit People of All ages. The Area Agency and Aging recognizes the role that connectedness plays in the lives of older adults 00:21:02
and strives to help with loneliness and social isolation situations. We are fortunate to have strong community partnerships 00:21:10
volunteers that give so much to support our older adults in our community and a special thanks to our Advisory Board, A Friendly 00:21:18
Fort and World Aging Well volunteers are partners with 60 Plus Riot, Meals on Wheels, Catholic Charities, Colorado Legal Services. 00:21:25
And N Range behavioral health peer counseling program. And those really can go on and on. We celebrate older adults in the 00:21:33
connection that they bring to our communities and appreciate you all for being here today. So I'd like to also recognize everybody 00:21:40
who's in the audience today. Kelly Morrison. 00:21:46

that this is one of the best months and I love these back-to-back. We're going from the full spectrum to children to adults and. 00:23:04
Are we? We talk about history, but they've actually lived it. And talking to some of our older generation, it's amazing the 00:23:14
stories they tell. And we truly stand on your shoulders. 00:23:20
With all the things that you have done in the time before us, so we should be eternally grateful for our elders and for the 00:23:26
contributions they've made to society and and getting us to the place where we're at now. And it's incumbent upon us to carry that 00:23:33
torch forward and not only honor them, but honor their legacy as well. So thank you so much for this proclamation. 00:23:41
All right, Commissioner Freeman, yeah, I would agree with what Commissioner saying said. And also, you know what is old, What does 00:23:49

to new business. 00:31:10
It is no secret, and I talked about this before, that my wife was the victim of a sexual assault when she was in college. 00:31:54
Her attacker was arrested, prosecuted, convicted and serving a Department of Corrections sentence. 00:31:59
Recently we have started having to endure parole hearings for her attacker and and what it looks like is this. Out of the blue. 00:32:04
One day she receives an e-mail from the Department of Corrections to say that your offender is up for parole consideration in the 00:32:09
month of September. 00:32:14
No date, no time, No other guidance from DOC Victim Services. 00:32:20
That causes panic in victims. 00:32:25
We have seen this e-mail now in our household about a dozen times. We have gone to four parole hearings. At the most recent parole 00:32:28
hearing was she attended virtually along with some of her support, myself, Rob Miller. It dawned on me that my wife is lucky she 00:32:34
has a support system that she can pick up the phone and call or look over at the across the dinner table and say what does this 00:32:41
mean? What does this e-mail mean? What does this. 00:32:47
What is it? What do I have to do? 00:32:54
The vast majority of our victims don't have that support system where somewhat could call, Rob Miller can call the victim advocate 00:32:57
and ask for these kinds of questions and particularly when we're talking about Spanish speaking victims, victims who don't have 00:33:03
regular contact with district attorneys offices with victim advocate centers. That's a massive problem, a massive hole that the 00:33:08
Department of Corrections has created. 00:33:14
Hello. Thank you so much for having me this morning. So yes, exactly really what was said. This is a gap that we have also seen. 00:34:01
Victim services are often funded at the early stages, the crisis and the pretrial. Basically once education or conviction has 00:34:08
happened, the support is no longer available to victims and it is often the most confusing and most difficult part to navigate is 00:34:15
the post conviction process. Most people do not have a general understanding of the criminal justice system and so then to have to 00:34:23
navigate these emails from probation movements or even internal movements if. 00:34:31
And often what we're seeing is folks are not signing up to be notified for these things. So offenders then don't really have 00:35:11
anyone that is showing up to defend the victim side in these situations. And so my hope with what we're proposing is we are 00:35:17
creating a post conviction. 00:35:23
Program project. This grant also includes Priya, which we are already. We already have that position. This would just be moving 00:35:31
that position into a new grant. But the post conviction is the new piece of this. It would be to hire both an adult and a youth 00:35:35
post conviction specialist. 00:35:40
This is simply a letter of support, and I think there are three letters to support. I know Bruce has taken a look at them. I took 00:36:17
a look at them. The ironic thing is they probably should be signed by me or by law enforcement head. But the OVW grant says that 00:36:22
specifically, district attorneys are not chief executive officers for purposes of this letter of support. And so we need your 00:36:26
support. 00:36:30
So the last thing that I will offer is is twofold. One is I wrote a letter of support to Amanda for her grant and what I have 00:36:36
committed our office doing is helping with the program by way of training, by way of support, by way of education. 00:36:42
But again, I'm happy to answer any questions. But I think this is a wonderful idea by Amanda and her staff, and I would sincerely 00:36:49
ask for your support on this project and this grant. Appreciate that. All right, any questions move to approve. 00:36:55
Our second batch and just want to say thank you for your good work on this and there was a discrepancy in funding for what we 00:37:02
approved. There are some project at your full funding last week as well. 00:37:07
All right. It has been moved by Commercial Freeman. Second by Commissioner Shane. All in favor. Say aye, aye, that motion is 00:37:13
approved. Thank you very much. Thank you so much for coming. Appreciate it. All right, #2, consider standards form of agreement 00:37:20
for professional services for case management agency, CMA, support intensity, scale, SIS assessment provider list and rates 00:37:28
between the Department of Human Services and various providers and authorized chair to sign agreements. 00:37:35
Consistent with said that. 00:37:43
Good morning. Thank you. Jamie. Oregon Department of Human Services. This agreement would offer the support intensity scale which 00:37:46
we call the sys assessment to clients that are engaged with our case management agency. This is a agreement template and we also 00:37:53
have a vendor list included in our request this morning is approval. All right, any questions of the board moved approve second 00:38:00
it's been moved by commissioner saying second by Commissioner Freeman all in favor say aye, opposed say nay. 00:38:07
Right, #3 consider contract ID 8062 Memorandum of Understanding for Weld County Youth Conservation Corp Services of 2024 Well 00:38:15
County Fair and authorized Chair, Department of Human Services and Well County Fair Board to sign. Thank you. This would allow our 00:38:23
Youth Core to help with livestock setup and livestock tear down services at the World County Fair July 20th through July 28th. And 00:38:31
our request this morning is approval of the MOU. That's great. 00:38:39
Move to approve Any questions? No. It's been moved by commissioner Freeman. Second by commissioner saying all in favor, say aye. 00:38:48
Aye. Opposed. Say Nay. Very good. All right. Consider contract ID 80632, York County personnel and merit system certification for 00:38:54

My name is Lynn Towson. I live at 2161. 00:47:18
40 44th Ave. in Greeley, Co. 00:47:22
And obviously most resident of Well County, and this is a request, this is impromptu, but I thought I'd bring it out to you. It's 00:47:25
going to be We teach the Constitution. 00:47:31
And really feel LED that this needs to be something that happens all over. 00:47:38
The country. 00:47:44
And I'm a coach for Patriot Academy, and currently we're doing it to a group of GOP people at a church. We've got another group 00:47:45
coming up, but I just think it needs to be opened up to everybody in the county. So my question to you, commissioners, is to 00:47:52
consider if you would use your facility to make this happen in that big room back there for people in the county to have an 00:47:59
education on our constitution if we don't know what's going on. 00:48:06
Which is happening all over the place. The people are going, wow, I had no idea that this was not OK to do so that that would be 00:48:14
something you would consider. I would really appreciate that. 00:48:20
Absolutely, because it's powerful. And the other night we had a meeting. It was on Congress. It's called constitutional law. You 00:48:27
can look it up under Patrick Patriot Academy. 00:48:32
And the look on the people's face there, there is so much discussion they couldn't believe it. So I also encourage anybody running 00:48:38
for any position for the primary, the general election that they are vetted and have taken this Class A class on the Constitution, 00:48:45
happy this one, but that they know because our Constitution is being shredded as we speak and you're probably already knew that. 00:48:52
Anyway thank you. I appreciate the support what you're doing. 00:49:00
That's phenomenal. Thank you. 00:49:09
I just want to ask like what day of the week and what time it would either be, you know, whatever to work. I've got a class going 00:49:10
in on Tuesdays, the end of June and all of July. So that would be that little window. I think sooner than later. I can do Monday, 00:49:18
Tuesday, Thursday, OK, OK, OK, alright. And that would be 6:30 to 8:30, no cost. The only cost is the cost of the workbook and 00:49:26
that's $20.00 right now. OK. I think somehow how we get it out to everybody in the county. 00:49:34
It's something to think about. Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Appreciate you. Thank you. Any other public comment? 00:49:42
All right. This meeting is adjourned. Thank you for everybody. 00:49:51
