t <br /> 1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No V AU <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: October 18, 1994 <br /> SUBJECT: Voter Registration Grant Proposal <br /> DEPARTMENT: Elections PUBLIC HEARING YES NO x <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT <br /> Grant Application Bobbie Strickland, ext 2350 <br /> TELEPHONE NUMBER <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br /> Mebane 227-2031 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To approve a grant proposal to help implement the National <br /> Voter Registration Act. <br /> BACKGROUND: During its 1994 Session, the North Carolina General <br /> Assembly appropriated $1 million to assist counties with implementation <br /> of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, which takes effect on <br /> January 1, 1995. Staff have prepared, and the Board of Elections has <br /> approved, a grant proposal for $22,800 that would create a local area <br /> network in the Elections office to increase the efficiency with which <br /> voter registations are processed and assist the Elections staff in <br /> preparing and producing the State mandated reports associated with the <br /> new legislation. No matching County funds are required for this grant. <br /> The grant proposal has already been submitted to the State Board of <br /> Elections in order to meet an October 10 submission deadline. The <br /> grant program provides that 25% of grant funds will be disbursed <br /> to agencies, other than the Board of Elections, which are required <br /> under the new law to assist with voter registration, although the Board <br /> of Commissioners can waive this requirement. In Orange County, these <br /> agencies include the Social Services and Health Departments, which are <br /> not submitting separate applications for funding. However, the <br /> County' s grant proposal envisions connections between the proposed <br /> Elections computer network and the existing Master Client Index human <br /> service computer network so that voter registration information can be <br /> managed effectively and accessed by DSS and Health as well as by <br /> Elections. Board action on this item would confirm the County' s <br /> desire to apply for State funds for the Elections local area <br /> network and authorize staff to proceed with implementation if the <br /> grant proposal is approved by the State Board of Elections. Grant <br /> awards will be made by the end of October. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the <br /> grant if it is awarded by the State, and authorize the Chair to execute <br /> any grant documents required to receive the funds. <br />
