The committee reviewed intergovernmental agreements allocating $50,000 each to Aurora Public School District, Cherry Creek School District, and the Juvenile Assessment Center to support youth violence prevention programs, including the Summer Leadership Academy and resource navigation services. They also discussed the status and funding of the Aurora SAVE program, including a $1.9 million federal grant expiring in 2027, with ongoing efforts to secure additional funding.

Additionally, updates were provided on the Aurora Regional Navigation Campus, including operational statistics, facility improvements, and partnerships for outreach and encampment management.
