Thank you. Good morning. great place to live. So if you want to start with the next slide. Just wanted to give you all a little bit of an overview and a reminder. First of all, I'm going to try not to bore people with statistics today, but that, you know, we have a large court system here in Lake County, over 100,000 cases that go through annually. Remarkably, these numbers have remained relatively steady over the 20 years, my first eight years as the elected clerk, and most recently 12 years as district attorney, and with about 10% of those cases being felonies. And we have seen, at least as of May of this year, we are seeing a slight increase in the number of cases that we are having come through the system with about 105,000 filed as of the end of May. The thing I really wanted to point out, though, is that we are back to disposing of, and we've managed to dispose of, and that's when we bring a close to a close about 110,000 cases as of the end of this month. And so, you know, one of the things certainly that I have kept a close eye on over the years is , you know, how are we doing in terms of being able to move cases through the system? And there are a lot of different factors that go into that. But two of the major challenges that I have faced while being district attorney is clearly all of us living through the pandemic of 2020. Courts were shuttered for some of that time, except for essential functions. And we did maintain at all times a courtroom running, but jury tri

Thank you. And I want to say, Thank you. Good afternoon, Thank you. Let's talk for real. that transforms lives through economic mobility and personal fulfillment. So that's why we have nine locations. That's why we're scattered like we are. Our vision is to reach students in every part of Wake County and rally around them to go as far as their dreams, talents , and resilience takes them. And so we're here to help support that. And that's why. That's why we're scattered where we are, to be able to meet those needs. You may have seen this a few years ago, but it's still worthy of noting that in 2022, we were noted as the top 20% of colleges for student ROI and the top 10% in North Carolina. So really, this is a place, Wake Tech is a place where students can quickly tool up at a low cost and get into the workforce and begin careers that will provide them economic fulfillment and economic mobility, huge, huge for our community. And at Wake Tech, we have worked hard to generate over a billion dollars a year for our local economy and graduates earning 10,000 more per year as a result of that. So it's a big program. So what I'd like to share with you today is looking ahead at what are our workforce forward 2026 bond projects to help get us there. So as my colleague with the school system shared, our bond is part of a larger seven-year capital program. I had the privilege of sharing that with you back in May. So this presentation is very much targeted toward just the upcoming 2026 bo

So what we've discovered is that we really want to do a better job of continuing to align with Wake County's strategic plan. And so to this end, we wanted to make a few little tweaks. You know, y'all know this. Y'all made a plan a couple years ago. We really wanted to strengthen our partnerships between housing and the reentry population. Next. What we know is

Thank you. So, my role at Wake Tech is the Associate Dean of Entrepreneurship and Business and I came on board in October of last year and really hit the ground running with a priority focused on launch, our launch program. Lonswake County exists because we believe that entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful tools for community transformation. When someone starts a business, they're not just creating income for themselves, they're creating jobs, they're spending locally, and they're building something that their family and the community can be proud of. And our role isn't to do that for them, it's to make sure that there's knowledge, mentorship, and opportunity that they need are actually within their reach. And when small businesses succeed here, Wake County succeeds. And I recently read an article that I'm just going to share a couple of the stats from because it aligned so well with what we're doing with the launch program. And when I say Raleigh, I mean Raleigh proper within the triangle. So Raleigh ranks fourth among the nation's best large metros for small businesses because of strong startup activity, an expanding economy, and a growing flexible workspace market. So Raleigh's rise reflects a larger trend across the South where population growth, business migration, and investment and innovation have created a fertile ground for entrepreneurs. And ahead of Raleigh are bigger cities like Miami as number one, Austin, Texas, number two, and then Washington, DC, numbe

Thank you. and so this work has to be done collaboratively. And that's the work that we do as a department. We bring the partners together. We use our resources to strategically invest in the high priority areas to work, to improve how these systems work together. So today's presentations are examples of that work. The Youth and Families Behavioral Health Study is helping us better understand the needs of our children, youth, families in Wake County, and identify opportunities to strengthen the system of care that supports them. And then following that presentation, we have Alliance Health that will provide an update on their work and then investments across Wake County and their role in supporting behavioral health service for residents in Wake. So together, these efforts help us better understand our community's needs and improve how our systems work together to support our residents. And so with that, thank you for your time. I'll turn it over to our consultants with our Youth and Family Behavioral Health Study. Thank you. Thank you so much, Denise. And thank you everyone for being here and for giving us the opportunity to share a little bit more about this work. So we can start on the next slide. Thank you.

Thank you. We're about to sign you. Thank you. Go back to the Thank you. to hire a design team to work with us on these improvements , and that's LS3P. Just a few weeks ago, there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony for reopening the stadium to the community and introducing the new stadium name, Nomako Park. I know some of you participated in that event to help celebrate the new beginning for that stadium. And following on the next day, the team had a successful opening day to start their season. As part of the lease, there were key capital improvement projects identified, some of which would be managed by CBC and some of which would be managed by the county and town team. While CBC had a lot of work to set up their own operations, they've worked at lightning speed on completing some of these projects and getting ready for the season. They removed the old grass field and installed a new synthetic turf field. This will make the field usable year-round with minimal maintenance. This project also included some grading and storm drainage improvements. They also upfitted and improved a few of the concession areas, as well as improving some signage throughout the stadium. Next on their list is to work on the stadium lighting improvements and on bleacher seating removal. The bleacher removal is in preparation for the other improvement projects that the county and town are managing, which you see here listed on the right side of this slide. We're going to get into some details about these
