The meeting was called to order by Secretary, Denise Thomson.

I. Approval of Minutes: May minutes were approved as written.

II. Financial Report: The financial report from May was submitted. Board members were reminded to turn in their monthly Volunteer Timesheets. We got a bill for the video "In the Line of Duty", but no one present has possession of it or knows why we were billed for it. The bill says someone at the KCSO has it, so Sue will call Pete and see if he knows anything. We need to spend $1,000 for Resource Guides and $1,210 on Resource Materials to be spent by July 31, 2001. Sue is resigning, not renewing her contract for next year. She is taking a job at World Vision in Federal Way. She is also quitting her job at Project Family. She will help us out in July with whatever we need. Sue is using QuickBooks for our accounts. Heidi will write up a job description ASAP.

III . Committee Reports

A. Program - notes from the last meeting were submitted. The next Program meeting is scheduled for a week from today, July 3 at the YWCA at 9 a.m.

1. Summit:

• Alec Stalcup is confirmed. We are going to get him for at least a 1/2 a day, in the morning.
• We are looking at having 7-8 different breakout sessions. Meth will be Stalcup's focus and we need to really get the breakout's confirmed. So far we have Det. Dave Dewey from Pierce Co., the Faith Community breakout will talk about the housing problems (hoping to get Martha, KCR, Kitsap Consolidated, Ardis Morrow, and a DV survivor for the panel/consortium focusing on the solutions, looking at partnerships), RESPECT Kitsap Youth will do something, Lupita Patterson will also talk about immigration issues and Patty Bland from New Beginnings will talk about CD and DV issues. Apparently Patty is really good and we may want her as an afternoon speaker too.
• We need 300 binders for the Summit. Sally will look into getting some place to donate them.
• Debbie will work on the lunch issue.
• We really need places to donate printing and paper. Heidi will work on getting a baseline for printing binders. Dianne will help get quotes for printing.
• We are planning for 300 attendance.
• Still looking at $25 registration and $10 for a resource table.
• Also, the YWCA bought fortune cookies for 55 cents each for their Women of Achievement event. If we have the money maybe we could do those too for the Summit.

2. Quarterly Forum: Kitsap County Meth is the focus. KC Prosecutor Russ Hauge has also been asked to speak. We are working on other speakers.

B. Community Education

1. Speakers Bureau/Trainings - working on a training for EMS people.

2. Topic Specific Workgroups

a. CPS - we are dropping this category since the workgroup no longer exists.

b. Bridging the Gap: Claire has been working on the LE training. Not sure when the next meeting will be.

c. Faith Community Action Group:

• Working on the "It's All About Housing" panel for the Summit.
• Also working on Faith Forum/Pastor Panel in October which will be entitled "Dealing with the Reality of DV".
• Don't forget to go to the website to get more information about Faith and DV issues. Presentations are available through our website.
• Working with the ALIVE people about the housing fund. Dianne is prepared to send out a letter to the pastors/clergy, etc.
• Come October Dianne will be stepping down as Chair of the Faith committee. Denise and Cheryl have names from Dianne to fill the void (as if that is at all possible!)

d. CD & DV: - Martha did a training for the YWCA.

e. RESPECT Kitsap Youth: The latest minutes are on the website. They came up with a Mission Statement and Goals. Denise and Cheryl, and Dayle met with people from Kitsap County Consolidated Housing Authority about how to get DV resources into their properties/residents.

f. Perpetrator Treatment/Victim’s Services - no report.

g. Minority Services - Oudy shared with Dayle that the MS and B-KCHD received a grant to provide services to Hispanic women and children ($15,000) - Starting August 13, (every Monday) 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. a variety of services will be provided, well baby stuff, DV, and more.

C. Membership - Denise sent out 10 applications and received 2 positive responses back, plus 2 negatives. If we don't get more responses back, we might want to table the membership issue until the Fall. Other membership possibilities are the B-KCHD, a school educator/administrator, or a business HR Manager.

IV. Old Business

A. Budget FY 01-02 : Point of clarification: the scholarship line item would be for community people coming to us asking for help to go to a DV training, either ours or other agencies. It was moved and approved to pass the budget with the extra $485 to go into the reserves.

B. Human Rights Council proposal - it passed.

C. Summer BBQ - Long Lake reservations are made. Plan on a potluck. The family picnic is on Aug.22.
