Presentations: Alere Youth Development Juvenile Reintegration Program – Scott Martin Scott Martin, Founder, President and acting Executive Director for Alere Youth Development Juvenile Reintegration Program introduced Rob Tonks, Administrator Director for Alere. Mr. Martin thanked the Mayor and Council for the opportunity to present on the youth development juvenile reintegration program. The purpose for the presentation is to introduce their group, explain how they are assisting the youth in the community and to submit a request to City Council. These are all requirements to be able to apply for a federal grant. Mr. Martin referred everyone to the group’s web-site that was viewed on the overhead screen. He read Alere Youth Development Juvenile Reintegration Program’s mission statement “Empowering Idaho Youth through evidence based programs”. Their emphasis has been substance abuse prevention and working with the youth that have been involved in the criminal justice system. The group started about three years ago with a small block grant from the State of Idaho for substance abuse prevention. They have held substance abuse prevention presentations in local schools, Madison School District being one of them. They have also worked with the Madison County Coalition. Mellissa Arter has been attending the coalition’s meetings and representing Alere. Mr. Martin explained the group has been considering shifting more of their focus on working with the youth that are involved in the criminal justice system. They have recognized the needs of the youth being released from state custody. These juveniles have been released back to their homes where they may not have the best support system. He said sometimes these juveniles are left alone to try to succeed. There is strong evidence behind the power of being able to get these juveniles connected with mentors, role models, and provide connection to social support. One of the programs Alere sponsors would also help the youth obtain jobs and help with schooling. Mr. Martin continued to explain once these juveniles are released from state custody and are on probation or diversion, they will be partnered with mentors. The mentors are college individuals that would be good examples to them, help them with life skills and service activities Program Activities One to one mentoring: mentors build and sustain consistent, meaningful friendships, provide understanding, support, and wisdom to youth. Mentors facilitate life skills training, advocate for youth, and teach youth how to advocate for themselves. Community outreach: mentors and staff will connect youth with resources in the community. Social and service activities: youth and mentors meet together twice a month to connect, socialize, support one another, and serve the community. Youth build positive friendships and make connections in their community. Life skills training: youth are provided with important tools for development, such as independent thinking, how to socialize and form healthy relationships, and how to take action in situations where adults may not be around to help or intervene. Youth develop competency in the skills that not only are key to success, but have also been found to reduce and prevent substance use and violence. For more information visit our Life Skills page. Mr. Martin said they are working with juveniles from Fremont, Madison, and expanding into Bonneville County. He believes the work they are doing is important to help the youth and communities. In the end most of the juveniles are young kids that have made poor decisions. The majority of these kids need support and to be shown different and better options. There is another part of what Alere does; they gather evidence based data to make sure their programs are effective. He said during the initial interview process with the youth joining their program one of the questions they ask the youth is “what do they want to be when they are older?” Mr. Martin shared a powerful experience with an initial interview they conducted with one of the youth. The youth didn’t fill out the question “what he wanted to do when he was older?” He said Melissa Arter mentioned to the youth that he had left that question blank so she asked him and the youth replied go to college in a soft voice. She instantly encouraged him to go to college. The mentors he is going to be connected with are in college. Mr. Martin said the State of Idaho pays several hundred dollars per youth per day that is in custody with the state. The closest juvenile correctional facility is in St. Anthony, Idaho and they have about 125 beds. They release about 50 youth per year and if any of the youth released are recommitted the cost returns back to the state. The Alere program hopes to mitigate and reduce the number of juveniles who are reoffending. He said they are new to this type of work; however, they are continuing to grow. Mr. Martin explained the reason they are presenting to City Council tonight is because they are applying for federal grant funding. One of the requirements for applying for grants is to inform the City Council about what they are doing and inform them about their programs. They are also requesting financial assistance for their programs and/or sponsorship for some of their social activities with the youth. They spend about $50 per social activity. He said Alere Youth Development Juvenile Reintegration Program is formally requesting funding from the city. Council Member Smith asked if there is a way to donate on their web-site or contact information for the group’s members. Mr. Martin said there is a way to donate on their web-site; however, they do not have personal contact information on the web-site. There is an option to get a hold of the group members on the web-site. Mayor Merrill indicated the city doesn’t have budget money available to help with funding Alere’s programs. The city may be able to help with providing a location for some the social activities. Council Member Flora asked if the juveniles involved in the programs would be able to volunteer for some of the city’s events. She mentioned the upcoming events such as Cinco de Mayo and May the Fourth Be With You that the youth could attend or volunteer at these events. Mayor Merrill mentioned the youth could volunteer to plant flowers at the Rexburg Days Event on May 15th. The first 100 volunteers will receive a free t-shirt. Mr. Martin said one of the benefits of involving these youth in the community events could reduce some of the misperception of the youth on probation and help with reintegration.

They have received all of the capital improvement requests. They will start to include those in the budget and begin to process payroll budget this week and next week. Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Dash Board Report slides on the overhead screen. The first slide that was viewed was the Cash, Investments and Revenues graph.  Finance Officer Nielson explained the only significant change made in the Cash and Investment Report was adding funds to the Moreton and Zions managed accounts shown on the graph. The graph indicates a significant decrease in the amount of funds invested in CD’s because there are better yields in other investment vehicles. Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Operating Expenses to date Total Budget graph. Parks, Recreation and Arts are forecasted to be over budget. The Arts is forecasted to be over budget by a couple hundred thousand dollars due to capital projects between the Romance Theater and Tabernacle. The Recreation is over budget because of Kidsburg. Finance Officer Nielson said the Fire will be over budget due to the wildland fires because they are very unpredictable. There will be an offsetting of revenues against that fund. The Street is another one that will be over budget. The overage is due to carryover from prior year projects being completed this year.  Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Operating Revenues to Date graph. The Permits and Licenses are low. The franchise fees seem low at 33%; however, this is typical because they lag several months to receive.  Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Operating Expenses and Revenues graph. The budget usually sees a larger overlap between Actual Revenues and Actual Expenses around December. The budget stayed consistent through those months, which means the city cash flowed well compared to prior years.  Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Infrastructure Fees graph. These fees are very low compared to prior years and in all categories.  Finance Officer Nielson reviewed the Community Growth Building Permit Fees. There have been many fees collected for remodels this fiscal year.

The estimated cost for that project is about two million dollars; however, the city will only spend about $815,000 on the project this year. LID 48 will be over budget. The cost of the project will cost about 2.5 million dollars to complete. There are about two million dollars in work orders to date. The 7th South Railroad Crossing is an Urban Renewal project; it will begin in the year 2020. Finance Officer Nielson said the reconstruction of N. 2nd E. from Yellowstone to One Stationary was a carryover from a prior year project. The water capacity project is essentially the water reservoir. The softball/baseball quad will hopefully begin this year at a cost of about 1.6 million dollars.

Public Works: - Keith Davidson Traffic Impact Study for Development on 7th North – Agreement with Keller Associates. Public Works Director Davidson explained there is several developments on 7th North one being Centennial Townhomes. They started with the transportation impact study; however, the city would prefer to increase the scope of the study to include the other developments and incorporate them into one large area instead of completing many small traffic impact studies. The cost of the work will be covered by the other developments as they begin to develop. Public Works Director Davidson said he is recommending to City Council to enter into an agreement with Keller Associates for the Traffic Impact Study. The cost for the traffic impact study is $19,735. This cost will be recuperated as other developments start to develop. Council Member Flora questioned the 20% completed work from the Centennial Townhomes. Public Works Director Davidson explained Centennial Townhomes has not paid their portion of the $19,735. The city is going to cover the cost of the study and then invoice Centennial Townhomes for their portion of the study once they begin to develop. The other developments will be assessed their potion of the cost of the study once they begin to develop. He said Centennial Townhomes had begun the traffic study and 20% of the study had been completed before the city indicated to increase the scope of the study.
