2 <br /> Commissioners and reported to the NC Division of Social Services by August 16, 2002. Each <br /> county will then develop a Work First Block Grant Plan to be adopted by the county <br /> commissioners. <br /> The Social Services Board voted on June 18, 2002 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 /> 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 /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Standard <br /> program designation status for Work First for the-Qounty. <br />
