YOOTH COMMITTEE OF THE VIOLENT CRIME AND DRIIG ABIISE PROGRAM REPORT <br />FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br />Susan Worley gave this report and asked that the County <br />Commissioners endorse the recommendations made in the report. <br />In answer to a concern raised by Commissioner Willhoit, Ms. Worley <br />stated that this is primarily a Chapel Hill-Carrboro initiative and that maybe <br />they need to expand the committee and involve northern Orange County. <br />Commissioner Willhoit feels that the recommendations will take a lot of <br />resources and that it is important to get everyone to buy into the program so <br />that it can be approached on a need basis. <br />Chair Carey stated that they have placed money in the 1994-95 <br />budget for this program. He would like to know how the "Support Our Schools" <br />and the "Communities in .Schools" programs fit in with this program. <br />John Link said that over the next six to eight months this <br />committee will aggressively pursue coordination and collaboration. It is his <br />hope that the Human Services Forum in the fall will address some of these <br />questions. He stated that there is a need to improve data dissemination <br />between nonprofit agencies and the government through updated computerization. <br />This item will be further discussed at the Commissioners' retreat in December. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Insko, seconded by Chair Carey <br />to receive the report and support the followup as listed above. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />B.
