12 Health- Healthy Carolinians <br />Manager's Comment: <br />The Manager is recommending that one half of the cost (.5 FTE) of the Health Carolinians <br />Coordinator be County funded and the remainder of the positions' cost (1.5 FTE) be funded <br />by outside sources. County support for these two positions in the form of general fund <br />support for 50 percent of one position is viewed as "seed" money for the Healthy Carolinians <br />Initiative. With this start-up money and the outside resources, it is expected that the initiative <br />will be able to show what can be done with dedicated full -time staff. The partners in this <br />effort have shown their willingness to support the cost of this initiative through one -time <br />funding of special events and projects and, for the coming year, with a longer -term <br />commitment to staff and programming. <br />Depending on the outcomes and goals, it is anticipated that the County will be asked to <br />support the cost of at least one full -time position at the end of the first year and perhaps the <br />cost of a second position by the end of year three. <br />I:\perg99\report\hcrep.doc <br />April 17, 1999 <br />• <br />• <br />r� <br />
