1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: December 13, 2016 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 6-p <br /> SUBJECT: My Brother's Keeper Community Challenge Recommendation for Movement of <br /> Youth (MOY) to be the Lead Agency for My Brother's Keeper (MBK) Orange <br /> Initiative <br /> DEPARTMENT: County Manager's Office <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> My Brother's Keeper— Orange County Bonnie B. Hammersley, 919-245-2300 <br /> Phase II Proposal <br /> PURPOSE: To express support for the recommendation from My Brother's Keeper <br /> Community Challenge that unanimously approved for Movement of Youth (MOY) to <br /> become the lead agency in the next phase of the My Brother's Keeper (MBK)-Orange <br /> County; and encourage MOY to submit an outside agency application to facilitate BOCC <br /> consideration of future financial support if necessary. <br /> BACKGROUND: The County has fostered the creation of MBK-Orange County through an ad- <br /> hoc committee under the leadership of Commissioner Renee Price. The County has provided <br /> limited financial support to facilitate initial program activities. The program has now grown to the <br /> point where it is able to function independently. <br /> An outside agency has been identified to serve as the lead agency to continue building MBK- <br /> Orange County and to stabilize the program and move it to the next phase. At the BOCC <br /> meeting on December 5, 2016, Atrayus Goode, Executive Director of MOY presented <br /> information on the proposal for Phase II of MBK-Orange County. <br /> The BOCC requested that the County Manager and the County Attorney clarify what the action <br /> should be to illustrate the BOCC's support for MOY to become the lead agency of MBK- <br /> Orange County. Given that the MOY is a non-profit agency, the County Manager is <br /> recommending that the BOCC express its support for MBK program and encourage MOY to <br /> submit an outside agency application to facilitate the BOCC consideration of future financial <br /> support if necessary. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact at this time. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable <br /> to this agenda item: <br /> • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY <br />
