Meeting Date 6/30/03 <br /> <br /> CABARRUS COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />AGENDA ITEM REQUEST <br /> <br />Agenda Item # <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br />Update of the Work First Block Grant Plan <br /> <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />We are seeking to amend the County's Work First Block Grant Plans for FY01-03 (in effect <br />through 8-31-03) and for FY03-05 to make special provisions for the Emergency <br />Assistance component. The amendment would permit the use of Block Grant funds for <br />emergency assistance payments in the event of large-scale layoffs affecting workers in <br />Cabarrus. As we are meeting state maintenance of effort requirements there are <br />substantial additional federal TANF funds that can in effect be used for this. <br /> <br />REQUESTED ACTION: (Suggested motion if the Board approves the agenda item as presented) <br />The BOC would need to approve these two amendments. Certification pages are <br />enclosed. <br /> <br />(James Polk and/or Sandy Russell will be available for questions.) <br /> <br />Attachments [] Yes [] No Expected Length of Presentation (None) <br /> <br />Submitted By: Jim Cook, DSS Director Date: 6/23/03 <br /> <br />Budget Amendment Required: [] Yes [] No <br /> <br />Budget Amendment Attached and Reviewed by Budget Officer: <br /> <br />[] Yes [] No <br /> <br />County Manager's Recommendations/Comments: <br /> <br />Approval is recommended to ensure a quick response in the event of a large scale lay-off. <br /> <br />Manager's Signature <br /> <br />Action Taken: <br />Approved [ ] Deferred [ ] <br /> Other [] <br />Denied [] <br /> <br /> <br />
