Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
D
A
All
right
so
first
on
the
agenda
is
the
consent
agenda.
You
should
have
the
December
agenda
in
front
of
you
as
well
as
the
November
minute.
So
hopefully
you
all
have
the
opportunity
to
review
those
any
suggested
changes
to
the
November
of
minutes.
A
All
right,
seeing
none
our
entertain
a
motion
to
accept
to
prove
the
consent
agenda.
E
D
A
F
F
All
right
so
today.
B
F
Am
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about,
we
thought,
since
we
had
coming
from
UNC
School
of
government
to
talk
a
bit
about
I,
think
they're
talking
mostly
about
non-appearance,
but
they
also
have
a
really
great
tool
that
we've
referred
to
as
these
meetings.
Previously
in
some
of
the
data
presentations,
the
measurements
for
justice
dashboard,
we
thought
we
would
tag
some
of
the
data
that
you
can
glean
from
that
to
our
local
jail
data.
F
F
F
Did
felony
instances
specifically
is
if
you've
heard
presentations
in
the
past
the
time
one
of
the
things
that
we
saw
during
covet
is
a
significant
drop
in
charge
of
bookings
coming
into
the
facility.
That's
mostly
happened
in
our
misdemeanors.
The
felonies
have
really
stayed
stable
throughout
the
the
pandemic
and
and
time
kind
of
following
that
initial
lockdown
period.
So
I
thought
we
would
look
specifically
at
those
felonies,
because
we
know
that
that
there's
there's
entries
into
the
jail
really
haven't
changed
like
we've
seen
for
misdemeanors.
F
So
these
are
the
top
20
most
charged
offenses
for
2021.,
and
so
what
I
did
is
I
took
a
look
at
the
bookings
into
the
detention
facilities
facility
that
had
one
of
these
charges
listed
on
the
book
and
then
I
said
well.
I
only
want
to
look
at
charges
where
the
process
type
was
for
a
new
charge
and
it
was
issued
in
2021.
F
I
also
only
want
to
look
at
bookings
where
one
of
these
charges
is
the
most
serious
offense
so
they're,
not
in
for
more
serious
offenses
and
then
that
the
booking
remained
in
custody
after
appearing
before
the
magistrate
so
meaning
they
weren't
were
not
released,
unsecured
or
under
our
written
promise.
At
that
decision
point,
and
so
then
we
come
up
with
1200,
just
just
shy
of
1300
bookings,
and
then
you
can
see
from
the
very
top
figure
these
charges
in
2021
accounted
for
over
13
000
charged
offenses
keep
in
mind.
F
These
numbers
are
very
different.
People
are
charged
with
multiple
charges
on
bookings,
and
so
that's
why
those
numbers
are
going
to
be
a
bit
different
here.
You
can
see
when
those
bookings
entered
into
the
facility,
not
surprising
the
vast
majority
of
them
entered
in
during
2021,
but
we
do
see
some
processes
that
were
still
being
served
even
out
until
last
month.
At
the
same
time,
on
one
person.
F
66
of
these
bookings
were
men
in
the
majority
also
to
provide,
but
there
were,
there
is
a
over
representation
in
Black
individuals
in
these
bookings.
The
county
is
right
under
six
percent.
If
the
2020
numbers
are
in
my
head
correctly,
this
is
around
16
percent,
so
I
have
a
representation
there,
age
breakouts.
You
can
see
that
you
know
the
book
of
fix
are
in
the
in
their
30s.
F
36
I
believe
this
average
age
for
this
this
group,
but
you
can
see
that
folks
are
coming
in
you
know
even
some
of
the
older
pop
some
of
the
oldest
individuals
that
we
see
coming
into
the
facility
are
coming
out.
These
charges.
F
I
thought
it
would
be
interesting
to
kind
of
look
at
inequities,
and
so
what
I
did
is
I
took
the
adult
population
of
Montgomery
County
and
looked
specifically
at
the
black
and
white
population.
Now
I
want
to
say
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
do.
That
is
because
it's
the
numbers
situation.
We
have
so
few
Asian
people,
certainly
Native
American
people
coming
through
the
jail
that
when
you
put
those
numbers
in
sometimes
one
person's
experience
can
really
skew
things.
F
The
other
thing
I
want
to
note
is
just
recently
in
this
calendar
year,
the
ID
year
I
began
collecting
more
reliable
data
for
ethnicity,
and
so
that's
still
something
that's
ongoing
and
built
being
built
up,
and
most
of
these
bookings
are
going
to
come
in
before
that
process
was
in
place.
So
we
actually
don't
have
that
data
for
this
group.
F
Obviously
that's
something
as
that
data
continues
to
build.
We
will
start
to
incorporate
it
into
our
analyzes,
so
basically
I
did
a
booking
rate.
So
this
is
based
off
the
adult
population
in
Buncombe
County,
and
then
you
can
see
when
we
look
at
the
number
of
black
people
that
came
into
the
facility
and
white
people
what
those
race
translated
to
so
about
1.7
of
the
population
of
the
black
population
in
Buncombe
County,
we
had
had
a
booking
the
booking
rate
for
the
black
population.
F
F
These
charges
I
then
broke
it
down
by
sex
and
so
black
women,
two
times
more
likely
than
white
women,
black
men,
three
and
three
one
and
three
and
a
half
times
more
likely
than
white
men
to
be
booked
on
these
charges.
F
So
you
can
see
it
here
that
disparity
in
terms
of
entries,
then
we
turn
to
average
length
to
stay
overall
for
these
bookings.
It
was
about
six
days
you
can
see
at
the
very
top
there's
a
difference
between
how
long
black
people
are
staying
and
how
long
the
white
people
are
staying.
F
Black
people
are
staying
husky
on
average
about
three
times.
Excuse
me,
1.3
times
more
times
longer
black
women
are
staying
in
custody
about
2.7,
white
women
and
black
men
and
black
excuse
me,
black
men
and
white
men
are.
B
F
I
think
the
answer
is
set
out
is
there's
probably
many
so
give
me
more
wonders.
I
think
that
you
know.
Ultimately,
you
know
who's
police,
how
people
are
policed
right,
why
people
might
be
engaging
in
certain
acts
are
all
driven
by
deeply
rooted
social
inequities,
and
you
know
ultimately,
a
culture
of
white
supremacy.
F
A
A
C
So,
are
you
saying
the
booking
is
the
amount
of
exposure
that
African-Americans
or
blacks
have
that
the
propensity
for
them
to
be
arrested
about
bookings
were
worth
it
actually
being
arrested?
So.
F
F
You
might
not
stay
right,
so
these
numbers
are
reflective
of
people
that
are
being
brought
in
and
they
are
staying
for
some
period
of
time,
because
that
magistrate
is
not
making
a
decision
at
that
point
to
release
them
on
an
unsecured
or
written
progress.
They're
gonna
either
have
to
make
a
bond
at
some
point
at
that
point,
but
further
down
the
line
that
that
decision
is
not
being
made
to
unsecure
them
without
so
being
released
without
having
to
bring
some
type
of
financial
resource
in
the
table.
H
F
H
G
F
I
I
D
F
C
I
F
White
right:
no,
that's
not
what
this
we're
not
able
to
answer
that
question
we're
looking
at
through
the
lens
of
The
Bookies,
and
so
you
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
a
booking
can
have
multiple
arrests,
events
tied
to
it
right
and
each
the
rest
of
it
can
have
multiple
charges
tied
to
it
and
so.
F
But
when
we
look
at
and
we've
done,
some
work
around
some
decision,
Point
analysis
previously
and
what
we
see.
Typically,
when
we
look
at
anyone.
I
Diversion
right,
how
is
that
working
versus
I
mean?
This
is
what
point
one
diversion
like
so
when
I
break
it
down,
and
it's
like
where?
Where
are
the
other
opportunities
for
diversion
before
they
get
to
this
stage,
which
I
think
is
a
lot
easier
to
divert
earlier
in
the
process
than.
C
I
F
F
Bookings
so
say,
for
instance,
I
come
in
on
you
know
a
misdemeanor
larceny
right
and
maybe
two
weeks
later,
I
get
charged
with.
You
know
some
type
of
class
eye
felony.
C
H
So
that's.
Why,
like
this
data
that
you're
doing
like
we're
doing
decision
Point
analysis,
they
kind
of
each
operate
independently
of
another
decision
point.
But
as
we
talk
about
like
the
net,
widening
and
people
impacted
the
disparities
change
as
people
get
deeper
into
the
criminal
justice
system
from
like
finding
first
Contact
to
sentencing
and
conviction,
right
information.
F
I
mean
so
basically
what
we
see,
because
we
have.
We
have
disparity
the
happening
at
the
point
of
entry
right
and
then
we
have
disparity
happening
around
length
of
state
and
we've
talked
about
it
in
various
facts.
Like
places
what
happens
is
then
the
overall
disparity
in
the
population
increase?
So
it's
like
it's
a
double.
It's
double
impact,
so
there's
disparity
already
at
the
beginning,
there's
more
disparity
in
the
middle
which
results
in
the
disparities
that
we
have
in
the
population.
C
F
You
and
it's
complicated
I
mean
folks
are
involved
in
that
are
at
the
jail
for
lots
of
treatments
and
what
so?
What
I've
tried
to
do
in
this
analysis
is
really
hiring
in
on
was
the
top
charge
on
the
booking
I
wish
there
could
be
many
charges
and
many
arrests
was
the
top
charge.
One
of
these
was
it
for
a
new
charge
and
not
in
order
for
arrest.
F
Was
it
sir?
Was
it
issued
in
2021
and
then
were
they
released,
or
did
they.
C
F
What
that
the
same
conditions
that
we
talked
about
in
terms
of
what
I'm,
counting
just
shy
of
a
thousand
bookings
that
represented
these
20
charges,
represented
just
over
1600
of
the
the
top
most
charged
offenses
in
Buncombe
County
in
2021
for
felonies,
again
very
similar
chart
to
when
these
bookings
were
entered
into
the
entered
into
the
facility.
F
The
demographic
breakdown
is
pretty
similar
from
the
from
male
female,
slightly
higher
percentage
male.
What
you'll
see
is
that
blue
bar
representing
black
individuals
is
bigger,
so
this
is
around
23
of
those
bookings
and
then
what
you
can
also
maybe
see
a
little
bit.
Your
average
age
for
this
group
was
33
so
slightly
younger,
and
you
might
notice
from
the
previous
chart
like
this.
The
tail
here
is
a
little
bit
shorter,
so
more
of
course,
that
younger
group
23
to
I
guess
33
to
37.
F
That's
where
the
bulk
of
pages
same
sort
of
relative
rate
index
analysis.
Here
you
can
see
the
disparity
actually
increases
for
these
charges,
so
black
people
were
almost
five
times
more
likely
to
be
booked
on
these
felony
offenses
than
white
people.
F
F
You
can
see
there's
a
bit
quite
a
bit
about
an
almost
11
day,
difference
there
between
the
black
and
white
population
translating
to
black
people
staying
custody
and
average
of
1.3
times
longer.
This
is
a
little
bit
of
a
this
one's
different
here
for
the
female
population
and
I
put
a
little
note
when
we
start
to
really
dig
in
and
categorize
these
charges
and
look
at
these
populations.
The
populations
can
get
really
small.
F
So
I
just
exercise
some
caution
in
kind
of
interpreting
that
and
just
understanding
that,
for
example,
there
could
have
been
a
white
female.
Let's
say
for
a
very
long
time.
It's
skewing
this.
This
number,
the
black
men,
were
in
custody
an
average
of
1.4
times
longer
so
similar
to
what
we
saw
with
overall
fences
disparity
at
the
beginning,
disparity
in
the
in
the
in
the
jail
in
terms
of
length
of
stay,
which
then
results
in
that
higher
percentage
of
the
population.
F
C
F
I
I
I
And
then
they
would
conduct
a
bond
hearing
at
that
time
to
determine
if
it's
you
know,
written
promise,
unsecured
or
a
secured
Bond,
unless
it's
a
DV
case
that
they're
brought
in
on
a
domestic
violence
charge,
there's
a
hold
of
a
no
bond
for
up
to
48
hours.
So
if
there's
you
know,
if
they
got
arrested
tonight,
there
will
be
48
hours
before
we
get
to
court
on
Mondays,
and
then
a
magistrate
would
make
that
Bond
determination
at
48
hours.
I
If
they
were
arrested
last
night,
then
they
would
be
on
the
court
docket
today
to
go
ahead
and
get
a
district
court
judge
to
make
that
determination
and
don't
they
have
a
grid
to
set
the
bond
Buy.
There
is
the
the
bond
policy,
that's
that
they
go
by
says
to
God.
I
They
make
it
when
they
look
at
their
record
and
then
the
charge
so
they're
reviewing
the
facts
of
the
case.
You
know
what
what
type
of
crime
it
is
and
that
individual's
record
s
to
get
the
full
criminal
history
back
before
they
make
a
decision.
Our
magistrates
don't
have
that
luxury
to
wait
on
that
full
criminal
history,
but
in
Wake,
County
I,
know.
H
Like
that,
we've
talked
about
the
public
safety
assessment
that
we
do
provide
the
judges.
What
gives
that
history?
We've
talked
about
providing
it
to
the
magistrates,
but
that
comes
with
like
system
change,
but
they're,
already
kind
of
looking
at
this
they're
looking
at
some
type
of
criminal
history
to
make
their
determinations.
I
C
I
C
F
The
way
that
they
are
right,
so
that
is
the
answer-
is
that
there's
many
right,
there's
many
points
in
a
system
where
discretion
and
exists,
and
then
but
the
combination
right
of
those
things
really
create
some
of
these
more
startling
numbers
right
and
I
mean
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
we
right
now.
Our
local
jail
population
is
a
higher
percent
black
than
it
than
I've.
Seen
it
in
the
last
eight
years
that
I've
been
looking
at.
C
Yeah
I,
just
just
think
a
lot
of
this
information
Decay
would
be
very
helpful
for
our
criminal
justice
group
or
federal
reparations
to
have
this
kind
of
information,
because
the
intent
of
reparations
really
is
about
having
generational
impacts
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
really
good
place.
To
start.
F
I
I
F
Your
Tails,
we
could
look
at
it,
I
mean
I.
Think
some
of
we've
looked
at
it
in
the
past
and
what
you
see
is
sometimes
there's
outliers,
there's
a
bunch
of
outliers.
So
then
they
really
outliers,
so
the
current
might
be
in
terms
of
length
to
stay
might
be.
Would
that
move
your
bell
curve
down
towards
those
outliers?
So
absolutely
yeah,
absolutely-
and
you
know,
median
link
this
day
is
another
way
that
we
could
probably
look
at
this
and
we
have
in
the
past.
You.
D
H
A
A
C
F
And
you
know
we're
we're
working
with
the
data
that
we
have,
and
you
know,
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
unknowns
from
us
from
a
data's
perspective,
about
support,
case
processing
and
how
certain
things
play
out,
because
that's
a
whole
part
of
this
process
that
we
locally
don't
have
insights
into.
F
And
so
we
can
point
to
things
a
lot
of
times
with
jail
data.
But
we
can't
always
tell
them
why.
I
I
mean:
is
there
any
way
to
even
parse
some
of
that
out
by
individuals
that
I
know
you're
doing
the
substance?
Abuse
mental
health
screenings
on
the
front
ends
and
sort
of
pull
some
data
in
the
future
around
what
percentage
of
those
individuals
that
are
being
booked
have
a
co-occurrent
mental
health
or
something
please
condition
too.
F
So
we've
looked:
we've
tried
to
do
that
in
a
variety
of
ways
in
the
past
and
I'm,
not
quite
sure
what
the
process
is
right
now
in
the
jail
in
terms
of
where
they
are
being
entered
into.
F
If
they're
not
intended
into
our
local
jail
management
system,
it
becomes
pretty
difficult
for
us
to
get
that
access.
So
it's
kind
of
a
question
of
who's
collecting
that
data
is
it
from
the
medical
provider
that
the
jail
itself,
whereas
that
they
are
getting
dirt
but
yeah.
We've
we've
tried
to
look
at
things
like
that
in
the
past,
but
we
have
to
rely
on
whatever.
I
I'm
just
trying
to
think
from
our
angles
too,
as
we're
seeing
a
significant
amount
of
increase
in
mental
health
substance
abuse
across
the
county
being
used,
but
we're
seeing
a
downward
curve
in
engagement
rates
in
the
black
population
in
those
services,
and
so
we
got
higher
Acuity
going
off
the
chart
and
we
got
lower
access
on
our
black
communities
and,
and
so
that
could
be
a
precipitating
factor
in
some
of
that,
as
well
as
we're
not
getting
resources
and
treatment
options
into
those
communities
as
well.
So
that'd
just
be
helpful.
I
F
A
A
Thank
you,
so
new
business,
as
you
all
know,
most
of
the
seats
on
this
Council
are
those
by
position
or
officer
department,
but
we
have
two
Community
seats.
A
A
So
typically,
what
we'll
do
is
you
know
if
it
was
vacant
all
together
we
have
interviews,
and
then
we
make
a
recommendation
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
on
who
to
appoint,
and
so
the
question
today
is
for
this
expired
term.
Do
we
want
to
recommend
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
to
reappoint
the
current
Community
representative
or
the
other
option?
A
The
will
of
this
group
to
open
it
up
and
go
through
a
process?
So
I
wanted
to
bring
that
to
you
all
that
you
know
that
we
do
need
to
make
a
decision
on
how
we,
what
we
will
recommend
going
forward
and
I'll
entertain
emotion
or
discussion
or
emotion,
either
way.
A
So
we
just
added
this
I
guess
when
we
did
our
bylaws
two
years
ago,
and
so
this
would
be
the
first
expiration
term
that
we
had
to
consider
be
interested
in
continuing.
He
has
not.
He
he's
interested
yeah.
Yeah
he's
confirmed
it's
interesting
today.
As
I
say
he
I
was
hoping.
H
A
A
So
next
we
have
North
Carolina
court
appearance
project.
We
have
Ethan
Rex
here
with
us
from
the
UNC
School
of
government
to
share
some
information
with
us,
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Ethan.
J
Hi
everyone.
So
for
those
who
don't
know
me,
my
name
is
Ethan
Rex
and
I
work
as
a
project
manager
for
the
criminal
justice.
Innovation
Lab
at
the
school
of
government
I
also
have
with
me
Hannah
Turner
Hannah.
Do
you
want
to
introduce
yourself.
G
Sure,
I'm
Hannah
I'm
also
a
project
manager
at
the
criminal
justice,
Innovation
lab
Ethan
and
I
work
together
on
the
court
of
Paris
project
and
he's
going
to
tell
you
about
sort
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
in
that
project
and
how
that
might
apply
to
Buncombe
County
and
some
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
moving
forward
as
well.
J
Definitely
yeah
so
a
brief
background
on
the
lab
for
those
who
may
not
be
familiar.
The
lab
helps
stakeholders
at
every
level
achieve
their
goals
of
keeping
communities
safe,
while
treating
everybody
equally
and
using
resources
wisely.
Our
work
spans
three
areas.
We
have
foundational
research
to
Spotlight
challenges
and
opportunities
pilot
projects
to
help
stakeholders
test
and
measure
ideas
and
road
maps
to
perform
to
get
stakeholders
up
and
running
on
the
things
that
they
want
to
get
done.
J
So
this
project
touches
a
little
bit
on
all
three
and
so
I'm
delighted
to
get
the
opportunity
to
discuss
board
appearance
with
you,
because
we
know
it's
a
really
important
subject
it.
Issues
with
court
appearance
can
contribute
to
system-wide
inefficiencies
and
case
backlogs
convenience,
victims
and
Witnesses,
and
can
also
result
in
arrest
times
fit
in
jail
and
a
suspended
license
for
the
person
charged.
In
other
words,
it's
an
important
issue
with
far-reaching
impacts
to
the
criminal
justice
system.
J
We
also
have
or
know
of
a
sizable
set
of
solutions
to
address
these
issues
and
mitigate
their
consequences
so
that
we
can
improve
Public
Safety,
promote
a
fair
and
effective
system,
while
ensuring
opportunity
for
opportunity.
Excuse
me
opportunity
for
prosperity
for
everyone,
so
I'll
share
my
screen
quickly.
J
I've
organized
our
discussion
around
two
broad
topics.
First,
is
examining
the
impact
of
court
appearance
and
then
I'll
share
with
you
a
menu
of
policies
developed
by
your
colleagues
in
New,
Hanover,
orange
and
Robinson
counties
and
the
court
appearance
project
that
Hannah
mentioned.
J
So
the
court
appearance
project
was
a
stakeholder
driven
project
with
support
from
the
lab
and
few
charitable
trusts
that
included
a
broad
group
of
court
system
stakeholders.
So
if
you
hear
me
referring
to
County
teams
or
to
phase
one,
that's
who
I'm
referring
to
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
because
I
can't
really
see.
But
can
everybody
see
my
the
the
presentation
on
the
zoom.
C
J
Great
always
like
to
double
check
to
make
sure
that
everything's
working
so
first,
let's
dig
a
bit
into
why
court
appearance
is
an
important
issue
and
to
do
that,
I'll
help.
Look
at
some
data
to
understand
the
scale
and
consequences
of
missed
appearances
and,
as
I
can
tell
from
our
robust
discussion
already.
It
sounds
like
you
all
are
familiar
with
talking
about
the
data
for
Buncombe
and
I
was
glad
to
hear
the
the
shout
out
for
the
measuring
Justice
dashboard
from
Lee.
J
All
of
the
data
that
I'll
be
using
today
comes
from
that
dashboard
as
well,
so
I
think
Hannah
will
link
to
that
in
the
chat.
If
you
don't
mind,
Hannah
and
the
dashboard,
as
as
you
all
may
be
well
aware,
is
an
online
tool
that
you
can
use
to
look
at
different
criminal
justice
metrics,
both
Statewide
but
also
county
by
county.
J
So
when
we
look
at
non-appearance
rates
and
we're
looking
at
the
time
period
of
2018
to
2021,
we
see
that
about
1
in
12
criminal
incidents.
So
that's
criminal
cases
that
happen
on
the
same
day
in
the
same
County,
and
we
see
that
about
1
in
12.
Criminal
incidents
in
Buncombe
had
at
least
one
miscourt
appearance.
So
let's
recognize
something
up
top
most
people
make
it
to
court,
and
if
we
compare
your
rate
to
the
Statewide
rate,
it's
a
little
bit
lower.
J
And
if
the
non-appearance
was
for
a
motor
vehicle
offense,
a
person's
driver's
license
may
be
revoked
and
without
a
valid
driver's
license.
People
may
face
additional
barriers
to
to
work
to
fulfilling
their
family
obligations
or
to
appearing
in
court
in
the
future,
and
the
process
to
reinstate
a
license,
costs
money
and
time
that,
depending
on
the
barriers
that
led
someone
to
miss
Court
in
the
first
place
may
already
be
stretched.
J
Then,
and
when
a
missed
appearance
happens,
a
judge
may
decide
to
issue
an
order
for
arrest
and
that
uses
additional
resources
in
the
clerk's
office
to
process
the
OFA.
The
order
for
arrest,
as
well
as
for
law
enforcement,
to
make
the
arrest
and
that's
hours
of
Officer
time
processing
arrest
when
they
may
rather
want
to
be
ensuring
Public,
Safety
or
policing
violence,
violent
crime.
We
of
course
know
the
incarceration
of
any
length
can
result
in
collateral
consequences
for
an
individual
like
job
loss
or
housing
instability
and
it's
also
extremely
costly
to
the
county
into
taxpayers.
J
So
with
that
in
mind,
let's
jump
to
our
next
data
point,
and
this
table
shows
the
most
common
underlying
offense
for
a
missed
appearance
initiated
in
in
2018
to
2021.
And
you
can
see
this
is
the
top
five
four
out
of
the
five
of
what
we
would
call
administrative
traffic
offenses.
There's
one
moving
traffic
offense
or
moving
violation,
speeding
at
fifth,
and
we
have
the
top
five
here.
If
you
extend
that
list
out,
you
wouldn't
see
a
felony
until
21st
on
the
list.
J
So
when
we
look
at
the
world
of
non-appearances
much
like
criminal
charging
in
general,
we
see
that
it's
largely
a
misdemeanor
and
a
misdemeanor
traffic
system,
and
this
data
is,
is
pretty
consistent
with
what
we
see
with
Statewide
data
as
well,
that
largely
most
non-appearances
are
for
what
we
call
administrative
traffic
misdemeanors.
J
Now
there's
something
with
the
data
that
I
wanted
to
bring
up
for
a
discussion
today
and
I'd
like
to
unpack
this
slide
here
and
what
you're
looking
at
are
the
number
of
non-appearances
by
the
incident's
initiation
year.
So
when
a
case
was
initiated
for
the
county,
and
you
can
see
that
there
is
a
drop
occurring
for
criminal
incidents
initiated
in
2020.
J
and
of
course,
the
first
thing
that
comes
to
mind
whenever
you
look
at
2020
is
coved,
and
we
know
that
Statewide
charging
dropped
and
in
court
generally
slowed
down
as
well.
Of
course,
I.
Imagine
in
Buncombe.
You
also
had
some
changes
to
court
practices
which
could
impact
the
numbers
that
we're
seeing
and
so
to
get
the
full
context.
J
We
wanted
to
look
at
the
non-appearance
rate
for
these
offenses
or
for
these
incidents,
and
that
would
account
for
any
reductions
and
overall,
like
charging
drops
overall,
and
it
would
also
allow
us
to
compare
to
the
Statewide
rate,
and
so
this
graph
shows
non-appearance
rates
for
the
state,
which
is
that
blue
line
up
top
and
for
Buncombe
County
that
green
line
at
the
bottom
from
for
incidents
initiated
2019
through
2020,
and
you
can
see
this
dashed
line
here-
is
when
the
Statewide
stay-at-home
order
was
issued.
J
and
remained
low
throughout
the
year
and
that's
compared
to
the
Statewide
non-appearance
rate,
which
drop
not
as
drastically
and
then
bumped
back
up
and
so
I
wanted
to
open
up
to
the
group
for
a
little
bit
and
ask
if
you
had
any
thoughts
about
What
might
explain
this
drop.
If
there
was
any
policy
changes
or
any
changes
to
court
practice.
That
may
explain
this
drop
that
we're
seeing
any
thoughts.
I
During
code,
we
were
continuing
cases
that
were
out
of
custody
and
handling
the
custody
matters.
So
folks,
out
of
custody
weren't
getting
failures
up
here,
they
were
just
getting
continued
until
things
started
back.
J
D
See
so
I
don't
even
know
if
they
were
marked
present
or
not
present
see
our
court
minutes
mate.
Our
court
minutes
may
have
reflected
that
they
were
not
present,
but
they
were
given
a
new
court
date.
But
of
course
there
wasn't
an
official
non-appearance
as
you
as
you're,
describing
it
with
some
kind
of
you
know.
Additional
order
for
arrest
right.
J
And
that's
the
important
you
know:
that's
one
of
the
things
that
we
were
we
were
thinking
of
when
we
were
looking
this
data.
Is
you
know
it's
it's
important
to
think
about
what
this
number
is
and
what
this
measures
right-
and
this
is
this
data
only
looks
at
a
failure
to
appear
entries
in
the
aces
court
record.
So
if
there's
a
change
in
practice
that
and
how
those
are
recorded,
that
could
that
could
show
up
in
the
data
as
a
reduction
in
non-appearance
rates.
J
Also,
here's
like
what
I'm
hearing
from
somebody
and
I'm
sorry
I
can't
really
see
anybody
so
I
apologize
for
for
not
knowing
who
is
saying
that
that
there
was
a
continuance.
So
basically
people
were
not
being
required
to
come
to
court
or
to
appear
in
court,
which
was
you
know,
of
course,
less
opportunity
to
miss
Court.
Yes,.
J
Good
to
meet
you
any
other
thoughts
about
what
may
have
changed
around
then
that
could
have
impacted
court
appearance.
F
J
That's
a
that's
a
good
question
and
was
that
Lee
who
was
asking
that
yeah.
J
So
that
is
a
good
question
and
the
answer
is
that
it's
a
binary
right,
so
it
is
whether
or
not
an
incident
had
a
non-appearance
or
not.
The
other
thing
to
to
note
that
a
little
I
wouldn't
call
it
a
caveat.
But
just
something
to
consider
with
this
data
as
well
is
that
these
are
for
cases
it's
not
when
the
non-appearance
was
the
date.
The
data
don't
allow
for
that
sort
of
discretion.
J
It's
just
for
the
the
case
initiation
year.
So,
for
example,
we
see
that
drop
happen
in
January
of
2020,
say
Ethan
Rex
has
a
a
criminal
incident
in
Buncombe
County
in
January
2020
K.
My
case
is
delayed
in
2021
I
failed
to
appear
on
a
hearing
when
that
goes
back
on
the
the
docket
that
would
show
up
in
this
data
there
as
well.
J
J
So
that's
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
a
Nuance
there
with
the
data,
but
what
I'm
hearing
from
folks
is
that
largely
the
expectation
is
that
Court,
you
know,
like
elsewhere,
slowed
down.
There
was
a
lot
of
continuances
and
also
that
there
may
have
been
some
changes
to
record-keeping
practices.
That
would
explain
why
we're
not
seeing
that
entered
as
a
formal
FTA
in
the
data
is
that
sort
of
a
good
summation
of
what
y'all's
thoughts
are.
J
Yeah,
absolutely,
and
thanks
for
for
being
willing
to
share
the
thoughts
I
we
can
sort
of
move
forward
from
there.
I
guess
I
would
like
to
open
it
up.
If
there
was
any
broader
questions,
because
we
talked
a
lot
about
the
data.
If
there
was
any
questions
that
anybody
had
about
the
data
or
if
there's
anything
that
stuck
out
to
y'all.
J
So,
like
I
mentioned
at
the
top,
there
are
a
sizable
set
of
solutions
that
your
colleagues
in
New,
Hanover,
orange
and
Robinson
developed
to
address
issues
related
to
non-appearance
and
those
Solutions
largely
fall
into
two
buckets
versus
increasing
court
appearance
so
that
things
run
smoothly
and
fairly
from
the
get-go,
and
the
second
bucket
is
improving
responses
to
missed
appearance
and
the
most
effective
and
efficient
way
when
they
do
happen,
and
so
this
is
a
table.
J
It's
a
big
scary
table
that
summarizes
the
solutions
your
colleagues
develop
for
increasing
court,
appearance
and
I
know
that's
a
lot
to
take
in
from
one
slide,
so
I'll
walk
through
some
of
these
with
y'all.
J
The
first
thing
that
I
want
to
talk
about
is
improving
text
message
reminders.
So
everyone
on
the
project
teams
recognize
the
importance
of
reminders
and
that's
because
Studies
have
consistently
found
that
court
date
reminder.
Notifications
are
effective
at
increasing
court
appearance.
We
also
know
that
the
administrative
office
of
the
courts
operates.
A
text
message
reminder
system
that
anybody
can
sign
up
for.
However,
when
the
teams
looked
at
the
numbers,
they
saw
that
it's
underutilized.
J
And
so
seeing
that
kind
of
data
that
your
colleagues
focused
on
signing
people
up
for
the
AOC
Court
reminder
system
and
one
example-
are
posters
in
the
courthouse
or
on
public
transportation,
an
example
of
which
you
can
see
here
as
well
as
palm
cards,
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
second
and
so
I'd
like
to
highlight
a
couple
of
things
here
from
the
research.
The
first
is
in
this
bottom
right
corner.
J
You
see
the
description
of
consequences
and
this
clarifies
expectations
for
people
and
conveys
the
importance
of
making
it
to
court,
and
they
added
that,
because
research
reviewed
by
the
teams
said
that
this
had
an
impact
in
increasing
court
appearance,
and
the
data
also
showed
that
younger
people
are
more
likely
to
have
a
missed
appearance
than
older
people
and
because
we
know
that
young
people
use
QR
codes
and
we're
likely
to
respond
to
things
better
on
their
phone.
Stakeholders
decided
to
include
a
QR
code
as
an
option
on
the
poster.
J
So
a
person
could
scan
this
with
their
phone
and
would
take
them
to
the
website
when
an
individual
could
sign
up
for
a
text
or
email
reminder.
Now.
I'll
note
when
we
look
at
your
data
for
Buncombe
that
the
younger
folks,
compared
to
the
Statewide
rate
that
was
less
likely
so
younger
younger
folks,
are
about
the
same
as
older
folks
to
have
a
missed
appearance.
But
we
know
that
QR
codes
can
be
convenient
for
individuals
and
can
be
also
something
that
they
sign
up
for
at
that
moment.
J
This
is
all
the
information
that
you
need
to
get
to
court,
and
so
here
is
an
example
that
the
team
from
Robinson
developed-
and
you
can
see
many
ideas-
are
duplicated
from
the
poster.
You
have
the
QR
code
for
the
young
people.
You
also
have
the
description
of
the
consequences
on
the
front
side
just
to
orient
everybody.
This
is
a
again
a
business-sized
card.
This
would
be
the
front
on
one
end
and
the
back
on
the
other,
and
you
can
also
see
additional
information.
J
So
you
have
the
Court
locations
section
in
Robeson
County.
They
actually
have
outlying
court.
So
there's
a
couple
of
different
Court
locations
for
individuals,
they're,
considering
putting
those
all
of
those
locations
on
on
that
section
or
you
can
have
your
phone
number
or
the
website.
If
there's
specific
services
that
you
highlight
on
Buncombe
County's
website,
you
can
put
that
there
and
you
also
see
that
there's
an
opportunity
to
direct
folks
to
address
their
case
online
via
the
NC
courts.gov
website.
J
That
may
be
an
opportunity
for
individuals
to
utilize
that
service
as
well,
and
so
the
AOC
is
indicated.
An
interest
and
interest
to
us
that
jurisdictions
would
be
able
to
use
their
print
shop
to
get
these
made,
not
just
the
counties
that
we
work
with,
but
any
County,
and
so
we're
exploring
the
logistics
of
that
with
them.
J
Now,
if
you're
interested,
we
can
be
sure
to
keep
you
in
the
loop
as
those
conversations
continue
and
maybe
I
can
connect
with
somebody
afterwards,
if
that
is
of
interest
and
and
we'll
be
sure
to
keep
you
in
the
loop.
J
The
next
thing
I'd
like
to
talk
to
you
about
is
transportation,
support
and
so
in
Orange
County.
What
they
do
is
they
have
a
local
bail
fund
that
raised
enough
money
to
allow
individuals
to
use
Rideshare
apps
to
help
secure
transportation
to
court,
something
like
Lyft
or
Uber.
And
of
course,
we
know
that
not
every
Community
has
this
resource,
but
they
still
have
challenges
with
Transportation.
J
So,
for
example,
when
we
were
working
with
Robeson
County,
they
mentioned
that
the
County's
large
and
rural
area
made
getting
to
court
a
particular
Challenge,
and
they
reported
that
a
lot
of
folks
were
unable
to
drive
because
of
a
suspended
license
partially
because
of
unpaid
court
costs
and
and
traffic
cases,
and
so
they
knew
that
a
transportation
solution
had
to
be
both
accessible,
but
it
also
had
to
be
affordable
and
in
their
case,
in
Robeson
County.
There's
a
program
called
seats.
J
The
southeast
area
transit
system
that
offers
transportation
for
services
for
folks
in
the
county
for
two
dollars
a
ride.
It
was
initially
conceptualized
as
a
way
to
get
individuals
to
medical
appointments,
but
they
talked
with
them
and
seats.
Said
yeah
we'd
be
more
than
happy
to
to
be
able
to
utilize
that
service
to
assist
folks
with
getting
to
court
too.
So.
J
That
the
individuals
in
Robinson
had
to
spread
the
word
about
the
program
and
they
plan
to
do
that
with
pamphlets
at
the
courthouse,
and
so,
if
transportation
is
a
solution
that
you're
interested
in,
you
may
consider
other
opportunities
that
the
county
is
already
doing
to
to
link
individuals
to
transportation
and
seeing
if
that
can
be
an
additional
resource
that
you
can
provide
to
folks.
J
So
next,
up
on
this
list,
you
can
Implement
block
scheduling
for
certain
Court
sessions,
so
Orange
County
is
doing
this
for
administrative
sessions
in
their
Superior
Court
and
instead
of
doing
basically
a
morning
or
an
afternoon
calendar
call
style.
The
blocks
are
shorter
and
set
up
in
a
shared
calendar.
The
idea
there
is
that
narrower
Windows
of
required
appearance
make
it
easier
to
attend
court.
J
So,
for
example,
if
a
person
needs
to
coordinate
child
care
or
take
off
work,
it's
easier
to
take
an
hour
and
a
half
off
as
opposed
to
all
morning
or
all
afternoon.
J
You
can
also
formalize
or
expand
options
for
virtual
core.
We
know
that
virtual
proceedings
can
remove
or
can
mitigate
barriers
to
attending
court,
and
it
could
be
either
a
standalone
docket
like
Orange
County
does
or
it
could
be
integrated
with
in-person
cases.
That's
another
option
to
reduce
those
barriers
to
appearance,
so
I
threw
a
lot
at
you
and
I
know
in
the
interest
of
time.
J
J
I
am
not
sure,
I
think
that's
done
with
their
Criminal
Justice
Resource
Department,
but
I'm,
not
a
hundred
percent
sure
on
that
Hannah.
Do
you
happen
to
know.
G
I,
don't,
though,
I
don't
think
it's
it's
not
something
like
the
the
county
has
funded
itself.
It's
you
know
external.
It's
an
external
group
of
some
sort
there,
where
people
have
raised
money
that
the
county
is
is
essentially
now
able
to
use
through
the
criminal
justice
resource
department,
but
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
which
groups
are
involved
or
how
or
or
if
that
money
is
sort
of
something
that
could
potentially
come
to
an
end
at
some
point.
So
I'm
not
sure
about
that.
I
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
we
do
have
the
little
slips
with
the
QR
code
to
sign
up
for
the
text.
Message
reminders
in
the
courtrooms,
so
those
are
available
in
our
courtrooms
already
for
folks
to
sign
up.
D
J
I
I
mean
that's,
that's
that's
not.
We.
We've
definitely
heard
that
from
other
folks,
too.
I
know
that
a
couple
of
public
defenders
offices
have
used
what's
called
up,
trust,
it's
a
software
system
that
they
can
use
and
and
I
think
the
appeal
there
was.
You
know
from
what
we
heard
from
folks.
We
can
make
custom
reminders.
We
can
have
text
message
via
a
computer
to
somebody's
phone,
it's
a
lot
more
customization
and
we
can
tailor
fit
it
to
our
specific
needs.
So
it's
it's
exciting
to
hear
that.
J
That's
something
that
y'all
are
doing.
Karen
Buncombe
in
in
the
city
of
as
well
yeah.
D
I
know
that
New,
Hanover
and
Robinson
are
we're
up
trust
clients.
J
Not
orange
is
exploring
that
I
I,
don't
know
the
answer
of
where
that
that
has
resulted
the
when
we
had
talked
to
them
in
in
the
first
phase
of
work
they
had
indicated
in
interest
and
I
can't
I
can't
quite
remember
if
or
or
no
rather,
where,
that
that
discussion
ended
up.
D
Have
you
talked
to
have
you
talked
to
Wilmington
or
New,
Hampshire
and
Robinson
about
their
experience
without
trust,
yeah.
J
Certainly
yeah
Jennifer
harjo's
reported
that
that
their
office
really
enjoys
likes,
that
that
customization
of
uptrust
they
also
like
being
able
to
not
only
send
sort
of
automatic
reminders
but
being
able
to
send
text
notifications
as
well
to
individuals
without
having
to
to
ask
public
defenders
to
to
use
their
personal
devices,
their
personal
phones
to
tax
people
so
I
know,
there's
there's
a
broad
base
of
appeal
for
a
couple
of
different
reasons
and
I
think
they
found
that
useful
for
the
the
clients
that
they
have.
J
Of
course,
one
of
the
limitations
with
uptrust
right
is
that
it's
it's
it's
only
for
the
the
people
with
public
defender
clients,
at
least
in
that
case.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
you
know
I
think
there's
still
interest
in
in
getting
reminders
for
for
everybody
as
well.
But
you
know,
Jennifer's
talked
about
their
experience
with
without
trust,
and
it's
been
a
positive
one
from
what
I've
heard
from
her.
I
This
is
Pat
Freeman
from
the
ID
Bureau
we're
getting
ready
to
roll
out
where,
when
a
defendant
comes
in
to
be
booked,
we're
going
to
ask
the
do.
You
want
to
participate
in
a
text
messaging
program
to
be
reminded
of
your
court
date
and
that
will
be
fed
out
to
the
third
party.
It'll
share
their
mobile
phone
number
with
their
permission,
and
just
as
soon
as
we
get
the
green
light.
My
Group
trade
just
start
asking
that
question
of
all
defendants
coming
in.
I
I
C
H
We
are
doing
we're
pushing
a
lot
of
Court
notifications
pre-trial.
Does
it
we
haven't
explored
like
Transportation
I,
don't
know
if
that's
neat,
but
there
are
counties
who
our
rolling
out
transportation
to
courts
and
I,
don't
know
if
those
who
work
in
court
every
day
hear
that
as
a
reason.
Why
I'm
a
few
guys
here
that.
J
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
Lively
discussion.
It
sounds
like
you
all
are:
are
recognizing
or
have
that
interest
in
coordinate
reminder
notifications
as
well
and
yeah
I.
Think
a
lot
of
the
Research
indicates
that
that's
that's
really
helpful
for
increasing
court
appearance,
and
so,
like
I
mentioned
earlier.
The
next
set
of
policies
that
I'll
talk
about
improve
responses
to
a
miscourt
appearance,
and
you
know
issuing
an
order
for
arrest
for
a
failure
to
appear
can
expend
a
lot
of
resources
for
law
enforcement,
Court
staff
jails.
J
We
know,
of
course,
that
an
arrest
in
time
spent
in
jail
can
have
significant
consequences
for
defendants
and
that's
you
know
somebody
who
may
have
missed
court
because
they
forgot
or
have
been
confused
about
their
case
or
were
unable
to
get
time
off
of
work
or
ride
to
court,
and
so
knowing
this,
your
colleagues
in
other
counties
wanted
to
make
sure
that
orders
for
arrests
were
issued
only
when
it
made
sense
to
be
clear.
They
also
recognize
that
sometimes
it
does
make
sense.
J
But
having
that
thoughtful
investigation
about
what
Solutions
can
we
do
to
develop
to
understand
that
and
to
really
only
use
this
when
it's
an
appropriate
tool
or
something
they
wanted
to
do?
And
so
you
see
here
this
table,
which
summarizes
the
solutions
that
your
colleagues
developed
for
improving
responses
to
non-appearance.
J
So
one
solution
is
to
allow
ample
opportunity
to
resolve
missed
appearances,
for
example
in
Orange
County.
They
use
a
strike
order
dockout
and
that's
a
recurring
docket,
where
individuals
who
have
missed
court
can
appear
and
address
their
non-appearance
and
if
there's
an
acceptable
reason
for
the
absence
the
non-appearance
is
struck
and
individuals
can
avoid
being
arrested.
J
J
You
can
also
issue
or
utilize
a
bench
card
to
reduce
unnecessary
orders
for
arrest.
So
for
those
who
may
not
be
familiar
a
bench
cards,
a
structure
decision
making
tool
that
judges
use
to
help
determine
whether
to
issue
an
order
for
arrest,
while
also
ensuring
judicial
discretion,
and
so
here's
an
example
from
Orange
County
of
what
a
bench
card
would
look
like
and,
as
you
can
see,
it's
divided
into
steps
so
that
judges
can
structure
and
record
their
thinking
on
any
given
case.
Clearly.
J
So
next
you
could
also
Implement
Grace
periods
before
issuing
an
order
for
arrest
and
so
for
this
judges
would
indicate
to
the
clerk
whether
to
issue
the
OFA,
the
order
for
arrests
immediately
or
to
hold
for
a
certain
amount
of
time,
for
example,
two
business
days
to
allow
a
person
a
window
of
time
to
rectify
the
non-appearance.
So
like
the
strike
order
docket.
This
is
meant
for
the
person
who
would
have
otherwise
appeared
in
court,
but
for
some
extenuating
circumstance
either
work,
Transportation,
child
care
or
another
emergency.
J
And
of
course,
you
could
also
offer
driver's
license
restoration
support.
So
a
suspended
license
can
be
a
barrier
not
just
to
Future
Court
appearances,
but
also
to
employment,
family
responsibilities
and
long-term
stability.
And
we
we
see
that
often
full
old
fines
and
fees
are
the
reason
preventing
a
person
reinstating
their
license.
And
so
the
project
teams
developed
a
solution
where
DA's
the
DA's
office
and
the
court
would
periodically
review
cases
with
outstanding
fines
and
outstanding
fees
that
are
preventing
people
from
getting
their
driver's
license
restored.
J
And
so
they'd
waive
fines
and
fees
that
are
past
a
certain
age
and
offer
no
concern
to
Public
Safety
and,
additionally,
you
could
explore
implementing
a
process
for
assessing
ability
to
pay
before
fines
and
peace
are
imposed
to
avoid
licensing
issues
down
the
line
so
I
know.
I
have
I've,
certainly
gone
over
time
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
patience,
but
I
just
wanted
to
see.
If
there
were
any
questions
or
any
discussion
that
you
all
had
on
these
Solutions
any
thoughts.
A
Any
anybody
want
to
share
I
know,
there's
some
discussions
around
driver's
license
and
potentially
doing
more
in
Buncombe
County
around
the
work
fair.
But
anybody
else
want
to
share
or
have
any
questions.
I
No
I
did
do
a
driver's
license
registration
Mass
motion
order,
so
it
was
about
800,
some
folks
that
got
their
old
court
costs
and
fines
stricken.
B
I
Finish
it
early
last
year,
I
believe
it
was
or
last
summer
I
can't
recall
it
went
exactly.
It
was
a
long
project,
but
we're
certainly
willing
to
help
people
strike
ftas
in
their
colony
coming
into
the
office.
You
know
pretty
much
every
single
day
and
ask
the
judges
to
strike
the
failures
to
appear
and
get
their
case
reset.
D
A
All
right,
thank
you,
so
much
Hannah
and
Ethan
I
think
it's
always
good
to
see
what
you
know
our
neighbors
across
the
state
also
Across,
the
Nation
are
doing.
Communities
are
unique
for
weeks,
so
we
oftentimes
have
some
of
the
same
issues.
We
just
figure
out
what
works
for
our
communities
and
try
to
evaluate
and
move
those
things
forward.
So
we
appreciate
y'all's
time.
Yes,.
J
Certainly,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
for
giving
us
the
time
if
there's
you
know
any
follow-up
or
any
any
questions
or
anything
that
we
can
do
to
be
helpful
for
you
or
keep
you
on
the
loop
on
the
work
that
we're
doing
or,
of
course,
you
know
if
you'd
like
to
share
the
work
that
y'all
are
doing,
we'd
be
more
than
happy
to
to
continue
that
conversation,
so
I'll
be
sure
to
to
make
sure
that
my
my
email
goes
out
to
to
everybody
so
that
we
can
continue
that
conversation.
If
there's
interest.
A
Yeah
absolutely
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
all
right.
We
we
have
jam-packed
the
gym
today,
which
is
always
good.
In
my
opinion.
One
item
we
have
left
before
we
go
to
announcements
is
opioid,
sediment
planning
and
so
Victoria
Riker
is
going
to
give
us
a
brief
update
on.
K
That
yeah
and
I
think
just
being
cognizant
of
time.
I
want
to
maybe
touch
on
more
primarily
like
questions
from
you
all
or
letting
you
all
know
just
where
we
are
at
in
our
planning
phase
and
so
Natalie.
If
you
want
to
go
ahead
to
the
next
slide,
we
will
share
this
information
with
you
all
as
the
handouts.
K
This
again
are
the
the
strategies
we're
able
to
to
fund
and
we'll
go
to
the
next
slide.
This
is
just
a
visual
of
the
amount
of
dollars
we
are
working
with.
We
did
set
aside
some
money
for
this
fiscal
year
to
fit
or
fill
some
funding
gaps.
K
As
you
see,
that
means
any
dollars
we're
receiving
this
year
rolls
over
for
next
year
and
again
those
dollars
can
continue
to
roll
over.
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide.
These
were
the
programs
that
we
are
funding
this
fiscal
year.
So
two
current
programs
that
are
within
the
county
that
had
funding
Cliffs.
We
were
also
able
to
go
ahead
and
look
at
opportunities
to
expand
medications
for
opioid
use
disorder
and
trying
to
create
a
more
easier
access
for
those
that
are
uninsured.
K
We
also
noticed
in
the
community,
there
was
a
reduced
or
an
increased
need
running
it
through
funds,
and
so
we
wanted
to
increase
naloxone
distribution,
and
so
Health
promotions
is
actually
even
working
to
try
to
use
a
community-led
approach
and
we'll
be
meeting
with
various
stakeholders
to
kind
of
create
a
plan
on.
How
can
we
continue
to
distribute
on
the
community
level
and
make
sure
we're
being
Equitable?
K
And
then
we
have
some
dollars
around
collaborative
strategic
planning
which
is
creating
some
of
our
Outreach
activities,
potentially
using
Community
Liaisons,
those
that
are
trusted
in
the
community,
and
we
do
have
a
request
for
proposal
for
a
recovery,
housing
advisor.
We
have
a
pre-proposal
meeting
and
there
was
a
good,
a
good
participation
there
and
some
good
questions
so
excited
to
see
how
we
will
learn
how
we
can
use
our
dollars
to
address
recovery
housing.
K
We
know
that's
an
important
need
in
our
community
for
people
in
engaging
in
treatment
and
maintaining
recovery,
we'll
go
to
the
next
slide
and
so
right
now.
This
is
kind
of
our
visual
of
our
planning
process,
a
look
at
our
vision
statement,
but
there's
opportunities.
So
if
anyone
is
interested
in
being
part
of
any
of
our
work
groups,
we
have
Community
engagement
that
will
be
ongoing
and
then
we're
continuing
to
work
through
some
root
cause
analysis
and
moving
into
goals
and
strategies
and
then
we're
starting
out
our
budget
and
implementation.
K
K
K
We
are
moving
into
our
measurement
phase,
and
so
and
again
we
may
not
be
able
to
have
a
discussion,
but
if
anyone
has
thoughts
and
what
are
some-
maybe
measurements
in
terms
of
the
Criminal
Justice
System
involvement
and
how
we
can
see
if
the
funds
are
making
a
difference
and
then
I
also
want
to
note
we've
identified
social
determinants
of
Health.
This
also
needs
to
kind
of
get
fine-tuned
and
and
identifying
those
measures.
K
But
it
was
an
important
aspect,
because
we
know
that
the
social
determinants
have
helped
really
affect
and
I
think
even
this
conversations
here
with
with
criminal
justice
involvement
is
that
when
we
address
these,
who,
hopefully
people
can
get
that
right
treatment
and
and
get
the
support
that
they
need
and
and
hopefully
even
looking
at?
How
can
we
prevent
substance,
use
and
misuse
and
and
dependency
and
then
so?
We're
in
our
community
outreach
efforts.
We
actually
just
finalized
our
public
input
page
for
our
general
public
So
within
this
slides.
K
I
would
like
for
you
all
to
even
provide
your
input,
but
also
looking
at
continuing
to
find
ways
on
how
we
can
spread.
The
word.
K
I
did
reach
out
to
the
clerk
of
court
to
see
how
can
we
put
information
out
in
the
court
courthouse
for
people
to
apply,
but
also
wanting
to
be
targeted
about
folks
in
active
use
and
or
treatment,
so
we're
working
with
our
harm
reduction
providers
and
creating
strategies
that
they
can
kind
of
provide
that
survey
for
these
folks,
as
well
as
adac,
trying
to
get
creative
on
how
we
can
use
that,
and
so
I
am
curious
if
you
all
have
any
thoughts
on
how
we
could
one
opportunities
to
get
general
public
input
as
well
as
folks
that
are
in
active
use
and
or
treatment.
K
I
know
we're
also
going
to
be
working
with
the
treatment
courts
and
doing
something
with
them
to
survey
and
doing
some
listening
sessions
based
on
the
results
of
those
surveys.
So
I
wonder
if
there's
any
burning
ideas
or
thoughts,
we'd
rather
hear
something
five
times
than
miss
it,
but
anything
that.
I
K
If
that's
you
know,
how
do
we
help
get
people
in
and
I
think,
even
even
outside
of
Criminal
Justice,
a
lot
of
our
First
Responders
say
our
post
overdose
response
team
is
just
saying
when
people
are
ready
to
get
into
treatment,
we
need
to
get
them
somewhere
and
even
if
we
can
find
treatment
in
a
week,
we
can't
find
them
when
the
the
placement
is
available,
and
so
that's
definitely
a
theme
that's
coming
up
is:
where
can
we
provide
support
for
an
individual
in
that
interim
and
also
getting
them
into
that
treatment
quickly
and
we'll
go
to
the
next
side
I'm
trying
to
think
what
up?
K
Oh,
yes,
that's
it
so
in
when
we
email
out,
we
have
our
public
feedback
survey.
Please
reach
out
to
us.
If
you
kind
of
have
any
ideas,
you're
talking
with
someone
I
know,
I've
reached
out
to
Asheville
City
Cape
I'm,
going
to
work
with
them
to
just
kind
of
spread
that
out
through
those
words,
would
love
with
the
public
defender.
Just
any
idea.
So
I'll
talk
with
Madeline
of
just
maybe
ways
that
we
can
Target
individuals
I'm
curious.
K
If
the
ID
Bureau
has
any
thoughts
again,
it
might
be
just
one
more
thing
and
and
too
complicated.
But
if
you
had
any
thoughts,
we'd
be
happy
to
even
get
with
Andy
if
you
thought
that
would
be
best.
But
again
we
wanted
to
give
you
all
at
least
feedback
where
we
are
in
that
process
and
those
areas
that
we're
looking
for
some
feedback,
and
so
please
reach
out.
K
A
Gosh,
you
did
good
I,
don't
know
if
anybody
else
has
anything
to
ask,
but
I
will
say
that
Funko
county
has
done
a
lot
even
before
we
get
this
settlements.
But
what
is
impressive
for
me
and
our
community
is
that
we
didn't
assume
we
knew
had
all
the
answers
and
there
was
still
opportunity
to
engage
the
community
more.
A
You
know
there
are
folks
that
we
know
that
don't
normally
come
to
the
table
and
share
their
input
and
so
we're
reaching
out
and
trying
to
make
sure
we
get
as
much
information
as
possible
to
make
sure
the
solutions
that
we
move
forward
to
the
Board
of
Commissioners
to
consider
are
those
that
really
help
support
the
most
impact
right.
So,
commissioner,
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
add
anything,
that's
so
supportive.
E
There's
a
lot
of
appreciation
for
the
work
that
has
been
done
by
this
team
and
staff,
and
you
know
I
think
I
think
just
to
share
I.
Think
Buncombe
continues
to
in
many
ways
be
a
Peace
Center
within
the
state
around
this
work,
in
particular
a
lot
of
other
communities,
kind
of
looking
at
Lessons
Learned
and
regarding
the
settlement
funding
as
a
whole.
E
I
know
there
continues
to
be
interest
in
whether
they're
sort
of
regional
or
County
Consortium
level
responses
that
might
be
opportunities
moving
forward,
particularly
around
things
like
treatment
facilities
where
some
especially
for
smaller
counties,
but
even
some
larger
counties,
the
the
lift
of
a
big
Capital
project,
an
operational
project
that
is
quite
heavy.
But
if
you
get
a
Consortium
of
counties
coming
together,
there
are
some
interesting
opportunities
there.
So
I
think
Dogwood
in
particular,
has
been
one
of
the
philanthropic
Partners
at
the
table
throughout
this
process.
E
Trying
to
think
about
what
kind
of
opportunities
exist
to
sort
of
jump
start
and
then
support
Regional
level
planning,
so
just
previewing
that
some
of
those
opportunities
may
be
on
the
horizon
and
I'll
just
put
in
another
little
plug
that
Community.
E
As
many
folks
may
know,
the
Community
Paramedic
program
is
in
the
process
of
launching
a
new
pilot
outreach
program
that
will
focus
specifically
kind
of
building
on
work,
around
overdose
response,
but
working
on
crisis,
Mental,
Health
Services,
helping
to
get
folks
into
code
purple
shelters
a
lot
of
the
related
social
determinants,
issues
that
we
know
often
go
hand
in
hand
with
what's
happening
here.
That
launches.
H
So
I
believe
I
can't
remember
who
presented
with
but
Vera
is
student
Justice
finalized
their
women
in
jail
report?
They
issued
a
press
release
and
the
findings
are
final.
They
are
coming
here
to
do
a
community
event
next
Tuesday
at
six
o'clock
in
this
room.
They
want
to
hear
from
Community
people
about
how
to
operate.
Operationalize.
To
find
these
recommendations
where
I
tell
people
I,
think
we've
touched
a
lot
about
the
women
population
and
the
the
impact
that
we
see
also
tied
in
a
lot
with
the
report
and
substance
use.
H
So
it's
kind
of
a
blend
of
what
we're
doing
with
opioid
settlements.
Well,
they're
also
coming
at
UNC,
they
had
Maternal
Medicine
will
also
be
presenting
about
some
of
the
work
they
do
in
terms
of
women
who
have
been
previously
incarcerated
or
currently
incarcerated
that
are
affected
or
of
an
early
Child
Care
rearing
ages.
H
So
that
is
next
week.
Tuesday
and
well
I
think
Natalie
sent
it
out
in
the
email.
H
We
have
a
lot
going
on
I
think
our
community
safety
violence
prevention
work
is
moving
along
we're
we're
in
constant
conversation
with
the
chasm
technical
assistance
provider
we're
hired
for
the
grant
manager.
H
We
are
also
finalizing
the
RFP
to
get
a
community-based
organization
to
apply
that'll,
be
about
six
community
health
workers
spread
across
probably
those
most
impacted
communities
and
a
program
manager
working
in
partnership
with
the
county
to
operationalize
that
work
it
so
I
will
definitely
send
this
information
to
Natalie
and
the
last
day,
we're
also
going
to
be
recruiting
for
licensed
clinicians
in
the
department
one
to
do
work
with
the
treatment
courts
and
helping
to
get
people
into
treatment
faster
by
doing
the
initial
assessments
and
then
jcpc
to
support
the
juveniles
and
us
doing
clinical
assessments
to
relieve
some
of
the
burden
from
our
Community
Partners.
H
B
I
I'll
just
note
that,
as
of
yesterday
as
part
of
the
state's
Medicaid
reform
process,
we
rolled
out
tailored
Care
Management
across
the
system,
and
so
that's
introducing
25
new
agencies
for
our
region
to
provide
Care
Management
for
individuals,
so
that
will
greatly
increase
the
access
of
the
number
of
people
that
can
get
a
care
manager
help
coordinate
their
medical,
their
behavioral
health
care,
social
determinants
of
Health
across
the
system.
I
To
get
that
level
of
support,
it
will
also
introduce
I'll,
say
temporarily
some
confusion
on
how
we,
instead
of
having
one
organization,
do
it
we're
going
to
have
26
organizations
providing
some
of
that
care
and
so
just
want
to
make
sure
people
are
aware
of
that,
and
you
may
have
organizations
showing
up
at
the
jail
that
has
an
individual.
I
That's
admitted
that's
going
to
want
to
get
in
there
and
be
part
of
that
discharge,
planning,
making
sure
they're
connected
to
services
and
treatment
all
a
good
thing,
but
it's
also
going
to
introduce
some
other
complications
into
that.
So
just
just
be
aware
that
we're
working
through
that
and
trying
to
create
some
Synergy
there.
But
there's
going
to
be
some
chaos
for
a
few
months.
