2 <br /> Kellogg for the previous grant. The contract and a check were issued on May 14, 1997 and the ` <br /> funds can be used retroactively to October 1, 1996. <br /> The"Rural Safe Communities Initiative" is attached to the Agreement as Exhibit A. The proposal <br /> documents the selection of community safety as a high priority issue of the Community Voices <br /> coalitions ofEfland-Cheeks and Cedar Grove. The project involves three major components: 1) <br /> collaborative work with law enforcement partners to develop and implement community policing <br /> and neighborhood watch programs; 2)expanding the existing Teens in Power program to assist in <br /> developing drug and violence prevention programs; and 3) continue the public/private partnership <br /> to develop a community-school park in Efland-Cheeks to create a safer environment for families <br /> and community groups. The Orange County Coalition has agreed that the funds would be used to <br /> continue an existing temporary coordinator position currently filled by Angenette McAdoo. The <br /> Coalition also agreed to request reclassification of the office assistant position currently filled by <br /> Ron Gallerani to be the program assistant position. Because of the late start, the funds may cover <br /> activities beyond September 30, 1997; therefore, authorization is sought to extend the term of the <br /> two positions until such time as the funds from the Agreement are exhausted. No County funds <br /> are required to fulfill the terms of this Agreement. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> The Manager recommends that the sub-grant be accepted, the contract be signed, and the <br /> positions of coordinator and program assistant be authorized until such time as the sub-grant <br /> funds are exhausted. <br />
