Public Comment <br /> <br />Cabarrus County's Work First Plan was put out for public comment for five <br />(5) working days starting on 10-4-04 and ending on 10-8-04. The Plan was <br />placed at the Cabarrus County DSS, the County Manager's office, and all four <br />(4) branches of the Cabarrus County Public Library, located in Concord, <br />Harrisburg, Kannapolis, and Mt. Pleasant. The public comment period was <br />advertised in the Independent Tribune, the Cabarrus County daily newspaper, <br />as well as on the County Public Access channel on Time Warner Cable TV. <br />Comments were accepted by phone call, mail, and e-mail addresses that were <br />placed with the Plan at all locations. <br /> <br />C. Planning Process <br /> <br />The development of the FY 2005-07 involved collaboration between the <br />principal partners involved in the plan, namely the Employment Services area, <br />the Work First Eligibility area, the Crisis Assistance area, and the Child <br />Welfare Services area. Due to the economy and job market, there has been <br />and will be ongoing meetings with these areas to ensure that the work <br />accomplished will be both effective and as efficient as possible. The Work <br />First Planning Committee met on September 29,2004 and did offer input into <br />the department's plan. Areas of concern by the committee included: <br />1. A lack of day care funds to assist families <br />2. Impact of loss of unemployment benefits of former Pillowtex <br />workers and the impact it could have on caseloads and funds. <br /> <br />4 <br />~-5 <br />
