Each county will then develop a Work First Block Grant Plan to be adopted by the county <br />commissioners. The plan must be approved by the Board of County Commissioners and be <br />submitted to the Division of Social Services by November 1, 2004. <br />The Social Services Board voted on July 19, 2004 to recommend to the Board of <br />Commissioners that Orange County request a Standard designation. The Social Services <br />Board believes that there is sufficient flexibility as a standard county to design services and <br />innovative strategies for transitioning families from welfare to work. <br />A list of recommended appointees for the planning committee and includes all five members <br />of the BOCC is attached. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The County would receive the Work First County Block Grant under <br />either designation. There would be no financial impact of continuing as a Standard county. <br />z <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Standard <br />program designation status for Work First for the County and appoint the members to the <br />planning committee. <br />
