Easley <br />Governor <br /> <br />George L. Sweat <br /> Secretary <br /> <br />October 6, 2003 <br /> <br />Mr. Robert M. Freeman <br />Chairperson <br />Cabarrus County Commissioners <br />250 Branchview Drive, Ste. G <br />Concord, NC 28025 <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Freeman: <br /> <br />On behalf of Governor Michael Easley, I am pleased to announce the availability of <br />expansion Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) funds for fiscal year 2003-04. In <br />the 2003 Session, the Governor recommended and the North Carolina General Assembly <br />approved an increase of $500,000 for a total state allocation to counties of $23,034,962. <br /> <br />A portion of the funds, $246,000, has been allocated to 82 counties by giving each county <br />a base amount of $3,000. It should be noted that these 82 counties received no teen court <br />transition funding. The remaining $254,000 is allocated to all 100 counties prorated <br />according to the county youth population, ages 10 to 17. A county allocation chart is <br />enclosed. <br /> <br />Counties must submit JCPC program agreements to DJJDP Area Offices prior to January <br />15, 2004 in order to receive these additional funds. After that date, unallocated funds will <br />be transferred to discretionary funds in accordance with Department Administrative <br />Rules. These rules may be reviewed on the Department website (www.ncdjjdp.org). <br /> <br />Community resources provided by Department JCPC funds are especially important to <br />your county and to the state as together we develop a comprehensive strategy for <br />preventing and reducing juvenile crime. The successful use of these funds has <br />contributed to a 3.4% reduction in juvenile crime over the past two fiscal years. <br /> <br />Physical Location: 410 S. Salisbury Street · Raleigh, North Carolina <br /> STATE COURIER NO. 56-20-08 <br /> <br /> <br />
