Chairman Connolly noted that the County is firmly
committed to quality afterschool programs and activities for youth. These programs provide safe, challenging, engaging,
and fun learning experiences to help children and youth develop their social,
emotional, and academic skills. They
also support working families by ensuring their children are safe and productive

to the US Department of Labor, parents of more than 28 million school-aged
children work outside the home and as many as 7 million latchkey children
go home to an empty house. Those who
engage in afterschool activities not only have a safe harbor, but are also
less likely to be prey to gang recruitments.

She noted that the community is fortunate to have caring individuals who are available both to support breast cancer patients and to provide mammography services for uninsured women of low income.
Accordingly, Supervisor Hudgins moved that the Board direct staff to:
·
Invite the appropriate representatives from the American Cancer Society’s
support group and representatives from the Vietnamese Resettlement Association,

45. FEASIBILITY OF CREATING A FUNDING POOL FOR YOUTH
AND GANG PREVENTION PROGRAMS (
Jointly with Chairman Connolly, Supervisor Kauffman noted that in Fiscal Year 1997, the Board approved the development and implementation of the Consolidated Community Funding Pool, a competitive funding process to fund the many human service programs offered by community-based agencies and non-profit organizations. Before this date, funding was through a County contribution or through a contract with an individual County agency. There were no standardized criteria or measurements against which a specific program could be evaluated. Since the competitive funding process has been in place, both taxpayers and service providers have benefited. Programs funded through this process are required to develop and track program outcome measures. Evaluation criteria encourage agencies to leverage County funding through strategies such as cash match from other non-County sources. The criteria encourage non-profits to demonstrate cooperation and collaboration with other organizations to minimize duplication or to achieve efficiencies in service delivery or administration.
Supervisor Kauffman stated his belief that funding for the many youth and anti-gang organizations was before the creation of the Consolidated Community Pool. In light of how successful the pool has been in leveraging limited resources and responding to service needs, he expressed the belief that the County could benefit from applying the same common sense and good management to the youth program funding and prioritization. He stated that he believed that Consolidated Community Funding Pool-type oversight and guidance could be provided by an organization such as the Partnership for Youth that already coordinates and partners with a wide variety of organization and programs.
Accordingly, jointly with Chairman Connolly, Supervisor Kauffman moved that the Board direct staff to study the feasibility of creating such a funding pool for youth and gang prevention programs and to report expeditiously with its findings. Chairman Connolly seconded the motion.
Following discussion of this initiative and the success of the Community Funding Pool, Supervisor Bulova asked unanimous consent that the Board direct staff to examine whether other County programs, such as those relating to partnering on environment issues, could also benefit by participating in a similar process. Without objection, it was so ordered.
Following further discussion, Supervisor Hudgins asked to amend the motion to include the School Division in the process, and this was accepted.
The question was called on the motion, as amended, which carried by a vote of nine, Supervisor McConnell being out of the room.

This was the largest such drill to date and was well-documented in a short video.

During the 2002 South County Cycle Annual Plan
Review, the Board approved an amendment to the Plan to include a recommendation
for an option to expand the church.
Since the Board's approval of that amendment, the church has engaged in
detailed engineering studies for the expansion and has prepared a rezoning
application for the expansion.
However, those detailed engineering studies have revealed that one element
of the Plan recommendation inserted during the 2002 South County Cycle Annual
Plan Review presents a serious obstacle to the church's expansion plans. The
specific language states:
