Public Comment Cabarrus County's Work First Plan was put out for public comment for five (5) working days starting on 10-2-06 and ending on 10-6-06. The Plan was placed at the Cabarrus County DSS, the County Manager's office, and all four (4) branches of the Cabarrus County Public Library, located in Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, and Mt. Pleasant. The public comment period was advertised in the Independent Tribune, the Cabarrus County daily newspaper, as well as on the County Public Access channel on Time Warner cable TV. Comments were accepted by phone call, mail, and e-mail addresses that were placed with the Plan at all locations. C. Planning Pro~ess The development of the FY 2007-09 involved collaboration between the principal partners involved in the plan, namely the Employment Services area, the Work First Eligibility area, the Crisis Assistance area, and the Child Welfare Services area. Due to the economy and job market, there has been and will be ongoing meetings with these areas to ensure that the work accomplished will be both effective and as efficient as possible. The Work First Planning Committee met on September 13, 2006 and September 28,2006 and did offer input into the department's plan. Areas of concern by the committee included: I. Child care: lack of child care for 2nd and 3rd shift and high parent fees. ~-\\
