Activity Period Summary New Hanover County Health Department continues to enhance the efforts of community partners aiming to reduce the burden of asthma in New Hanover County. Funding will provide continuation and enhancement of existing asthma projects. These projects include the Air Quality Flag Program and the smoke free initiative, the NC Smoke Free Dining Campaign. The Air Quality Flag Program exceeded the first year's goal of implementing the program into a lead school by implementing the program into five schools. The interest and excitement has peaked and continues to grow among schools. Funding from this grant would allow the opportunity for these schools and other facilities to incorporate this program at their designated site. As a result of this program, the community has a greater awareness of the Air Quality Index and air quality forecasts promoted throughout the schools systems and plans for expansion of proj ect includes targeting other community sites, such as fire stations, preschools, daycares and afterschool recreational programs. This grant would also provide the essential training materials and supplies needed to successfully add more community partners to participate in this Air Quality Flag program. The Smoke Free Dining campaign continues to increase the number of smoke free establishments in New Hanover County. The 2007 Heart Health Survey has been completed through a partnership of Environmental Health, Health Promotion and Project Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 9-1-1 ASSIST. Restaurants were contacted regarding their interest in smoke free policies. Follow up with those interested restaurants is crucial to provide guidance and assistance with the process of becoming smoke free. This funding will allow purchasing additional smoke free dining program materials as well as incorporating a marketing plan highlighting these smoke free establishments through the television, radio, newspapers, website, and billboards. The smoke free dining list, located on New Hanover County Health Department website, contains updated local smoke free restaurants for New Hanover County residents. This dining list is also inserted in the local newspaper which reaches over 30,000 people. The smoke free dining campaign continues to maintain and capture the restaurants and residents of this community's attention. Promotions of the smoke free dining establishments have continued to gain new restaurants as well as other community partners adopting smoke free policies for a smoke free environment. B. Purpose These asthma programs have far reaching effects in New Hanover County. Several local coalitions continue to be involved in improving asthma in New Hanover County are Breathe Better Group, Project ASSIST, and New Hanover County Regional Medical Center. Project ASSIST is a prime example of a successful coalition in the community whose representatives range from businesses, public schools, community college, universities, to other community partners. This dynamic coalition achieves various health objectives impacting many populations; college students, high schools, middle schools, private businesses, adults, and Question Why youth groups. The specific asthma related issues addressed in this project include awareness and education Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 9-1-2 throughout the community on air quality index and the promotion of smoke free policies in restaurants and other community facilities. C. Objectives By August 2009, at least 10 schools or community partners will implement the Air Quality Monitoring Program. Program surveys will be administered to program participants to evaluate this Air Quality Monitoring Program. By August 2009, at least 8 new restaurants will operate as 100% smoke free and will be added to the Smoke Free Dining Guide. Evaluation will be administered by obtaining feedback from the restaurant owners/managers regarding the process of becoming a smoke free establishment. D. Sustainability The network of community partners already established and vested with these asthma initiatives and efforts provide a solid foundation to obtain and sustain the program's projected outcomes and goals. The Air Quality Flag Program and Smoke Free Dining Program will continue to be carried out by the Health Department and Project ASSIST. These asthma programs will continue to produce sustainable effects beyond the implementation and evaluation of this grant cycle. Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 9-1-3 E.

Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 18-0 fit} N TY G ~ Jw~ ~ O 3~, ~~ ~'o~ \~~ n O n azi '~s~~ i~ ~~ti~' LISH~ An extensive cooperative effort was put forth to educate the public and help them to prepare for the switch. Today, I'd like to share information with you concerning New Hanover County's role in the digital television transition. County staff worked very hard to make the digital transition as smooth as possible for our citizens and those in the Wilmington TV market. At the risk of failing to mention all County staff who were involved in this educational effort, let me try to list by department and name who it was exactly that did a great deal of the legwork in getting television viewers to take action: New Hanover Human Relations Commission: Carl Byrd, Director, and Linda Moore, Public Information Specialist. The Human Relations Commission staff went above and beyond in helping the Federal Communications Commission. In particular, Linda arranged for approximately 20 DTV forums and DTV Coupon Days for residents of our county. New Hanover County Library: David Paynter and library staff at each branch library graciously hosted a number of events at their locations where citizens were able to speak with FCC representatives and apply for the $40 DTV coupons. New Hanover County Department of Aging: Director Annette Crumpton and her staff stepped up to the plate to assist the FCC in promoting the transition to the area's senior population. New Hanover County Fire Services: Chief Donnie Hall and staff were and still are available to the public who may have trouble connecting their converter boxes to their television sets. Fire Services also seized this opportunity to offer lifelsafety information, smoke alarms and home inspections to our residents. New Hanover County IT Department: Director Leslie Stanfield and her staff set up the 798- 4DTVhotline for citizens to call if they were experiencing difficulty in connecting converter boxes and for allocating an entire section of the County's homepage to the digital transition. New Hanover County Emergency Management: Director Warren Lee pointed out the County's concern about the date for the digital transition. Coincidentally, the department's concerns about information dissemination during hurricane season nearly collided with Tropical Storm Hanna. Assistant County Manager Andre Mallette spent much time and energy in making sure all involved were on track in assisting the FCC in its public outreach efforts.

OFFICIAL COMMUNITY THEATER OF NORTH CAROLINA. ADOPTED this the 22nd day of September, 2008. NEW HANOVER COUNTY Robert G. Greer, Chairman ATTEST: Sheila L. Schult, Clerk to the Board Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 19-1-2 Thalian Association February 17, 2008 Thalian Association: A Community Theater Tradition in Wilmington, NC since 1788 The Thalian Association was founded in Wilmington, NC barely a generation after the settlement of the city itself in 1734 and a year before the State of North Carolina joined the United States in 1789. The date of birth of the Thalian Association is accepted by history and tradition to be 1788. The Thalian Association was created to foster education and participation in the performing arts. It serves that purpose to the present day and continues to support what is believed to be the oldest community theater in North Carolina. Birth of the Thalian Association,1788 continues to do so to this day and can thus claim to be North Carolina's oldest community theater, founded in 17 8 8 . The Thalian Name The Thalian Association took its name from Thalia, the Greek goddess of comedy and pastoral poetry. Thalia was one of nine sisters of the arts, called muses. The other eight muses were: Melpomene -tragedy Calliope -epic poetry Terpsichore -dance Erato -lyric poetry Euterpe -music Clio -history Polyhymnia -oratory Urania -astrology Wilmington did not have an auspicious beginning, serving as a mere transit point for the shipment of agricultural products and naval stores. Plantations were few and small, and naval stores were produced in small establishments scattered through vast forests. The port city of Wilmington was small and offered few amenities. In this unpromising situation was planted the first seed of Wilmington culture. James Innes was a rich rice planter and a Colonel in the colonial militia who served in the French and Indian War and died in 1759. In his will he left a portion of his estate for "the use of a free School for the benefit of the youth of North Carolina." This was a farsighted bequest in an era when all formal education was by private tutors or in European elite schools and when performing art was by private patronage. After much delay, the legislature appointed trustees of the Innes estate, and in 1788 a series of boards was set up to administer the "free School" bequest. Included among these founding boards was that of the Thalian Association. From the Innes bequest came the founding of the Innes Academy, an institution that combined a free school with the performing arts, the first of both in Wilmington. Dating back to this first association with the Innes Academy, the Thalian Association has drawn on community support and participation to produce amateur theater. It Classical themes were popular in 18th century Europe, and European culture set the standard in late 18th century America. The Wilmington founders of the Thalian Association were cultured and educated men and would have been familiar with Thalia, the muse of comedy. Thalian Association and Wilmington's First Theater In 1803, the Innes Academy and the Thalian Association constructed a building that combined classrooms on the upper floors and a theater on the ground floor, a building that came to be called the Old Academy. Judging from a surviving drawing, the Old Academy was a fine Georgian building. ~~ -~S,~;ee~y ~ ,~ } ~} The Thalian Association was given a perpetual lease by the Innes Academy trustees on the Old Academy Theater, and the Thalians in turn provided financial support to the school. The commercial effort in the performing arts of the © Thalian Association, Wilmington, NC Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 19-2-1 Thalian Association February 17, 2008 Thalian Association was chartered in 1814 by the North Carolina legislature. The charter reads in part, "It is hereby enacted by the State of North Carolina, That the individuals who are now Associated in the Town of Wilmington for the purpose of aiding an institution of learning and the general promotion of literature, and those who hereafter may become members of the said association, are hereby incorporated into a body corporate and politic by the name of the Thalian Association." The Thalian Association made active use of the Old Academy Theater, and proceeds from public performances were used to support the school. This was a practical demonstration of the role in education of the performing arts and of the close union of "learning and the promotion of literature." Thalian Association at the Heart of the Ante- Bellum Community Despite the activity and growing success in the ensuing years of the Thalian Association, the Innes Academy declined and finally ceased operations. This left the Thalians in sole possession of the Old Academy building and with a perpetual lease on the Old Academy Theater. Thalian Association resources were free to be directed into the staging of more and larger theater productions and into the maintenance of the building. Membership in the Thalian Association grew greatly in number and in social, political, and economic prominence. It expanded in a series of phases, with each phase of growth attracting more of the city's social and economic elite. In the years leading up to the Civil War, membership in the Thalian Association was almost synonymous with local political and cultural leadership. Members not only supported the Association but also performed on stage as amateur actors. Membership was exclusively male; female roles on stage were played by males. The only females allowed on stage were the occasional professional actresses hired from traveling theater troupes for a maj or production or for a season. The public spiritedness of the Thalian Association in the ante-bellum years and its commitment to the cultural community of the nation as well as Wilmington can be illustrated by the gift of a Washington Monument memorial stone in 1851. The Washington Monument Society was founded in September 1833 to build a monument to George Washington. The design was selected in 1836, and construction began on July 4, 1848. By 1850 funds were exhausted, and the effort to raise additional funds was struggling. The Washington Monument Society adopted in 1850 a fundraising scheme in which contributions could be accompanied by a memorial stone to be inserted into the walls of the monument. The scheme was a great success, and contributions and memorial stones poured in from around America and the world. Eventually 193 memorial stones were placed in the interior walls of the Washington Monument. About half of the contributors were political organizations, and the other half were private cultural organizations, most of them now defunct. In December 1851 the Thalian Association sent to Washington a three foot by two foot block of marble carved by local sculptor James McClaranan. It is described in the Wilmington Commercial (Dec. 20, 1851) as: "On it is a head of Shakespeare demi-Relievo. Over the head is formed a graceful arch of Ribands in five folds, to which letters nicely engraved, and bronzed, bearing the following inscription, Wilmington, N.C., Thalian Association." -_ ~~ .~ ,. ,.~_; ~~- r,~. This proud reminder of the civic cultural contributions across the centuries of the Thalians is on display on Landing 23 at the 250 foot level of the 555 foot tall Washington Monument. The Thalian Association is the only community theater still in existence to contribute a stone. Thalian Association Construction of One of the Great Opera Houses of America: Thalian Hall By the 1850s the size and frequency of Thalian theater activity had come to strain the capacity of the Old Academy Theater; it was too small and too primitive, and plans were laid to build a new theater on the same site. The Thalian Association championed the community need for ©Thalian Association, Wilmington, NC 2 Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 19-2-2 Thalian Association February 17, 2008 a large theater and public meeting place and to support the idea of a civic partnership of the arts with government. This daring idea, of the arts woven into the fabric of civic life, may have been original in America with the Thalian Association. In June 1855 the City of Wilmington authorized a joint project with the Thalian Association to build a combination theater and City Hall. The Library Association was also part of the joint project and was guaranteed permanent space. The Thalians stipulated that the theater must be large and beautiful, whatever the cost. In November 1855 prominent Thalian Robert H. Cowen j ourneyed to New York to contract for design of the building by James M. Trimble, the greatest theater architect in America, revealing the high priority of the theater in the joint project with the City. In December 1855, Cowen together with Thalian brothers Donald and John McRae, representing the Thalian Association as president and the City of Wilmington as mayor, hired local contractor James F. Post. On December 27, 1855 the cornerstone was laid, with a ceremonial oration by Thalian Thomas Loring. ~a>:, ~. R~; Y~ v ~ ~.-. ~~ * I ~~, A ~ ~_. J ~p,, I~ ,E~'„€.. p. ~..: ~:-.3.. P .: ..-~ ~- Construction continued until late in 1858, overseen by the Thalians, whose grand vision for the interior of the theater led to delays and cost overruns. "The general arrangement of the theater is after the plan of Mr. Trimble, but the details and their adaptation to the circumstances have been all executed under the supervision of Mr. Post and the officers of the Thalian Association." (Wihning~on Daily Journal, October 12, 1858) The date of the formal opening, October 12, 1858, was marked by festivities highlighted by a dedication oration by Thalian James Green Burr. The first Thalian Association production, the play "Invisible Prince," took place on December 5,1858. With the perpetual maintenance of the large and lavish Hall being much too big a task for the private resources of the Association, Thalian president Donald McRae, and City mayor, John McRae, signed full ownership of Thalian Hall over to the City of Wilmington on June 21,1860. City-owned Thalian Hall remains to this day one of the great opera houses of America and the pride of Wilmington. Thalian Tradition Survives War and Reconstruction Soon after the opening of Thalian Hall the Civil War brought an end to antebellum prosperity, shaking the economic foundations of both the City and the Thalian Association. Stage productions came to be infrequent during the War, with the exception of the occasional fundraiser staged for the purpose of smallpox and yellow fever relief. The aftermath of the War saw chaos and divisions within the Thalian Association and a political fight for control of Thalian Hall. Most antebellum "Old Thalians" had been active Secessionists, and their social and economic control of the Association had been absolute. Their political control of the City had likewise been so absolute that no Old Thalian could have anticipated that City ownership of Thalian Hall might require new uses under new political circumstances. No pre-emancipation Thalian could have imagined the new citizens that would seek entrance to the Hall. © Thalian Association, Wilmington, NC 3 Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 19-2-3 Thalian Association February 17, 2008 Changed post-war circumstances brought to Wilmington "Radical" newcomers who, together with local sympathizers, challenged the pre-war Old Thalian "Conservatives" and changed the balance of social, economic, and political power. The passions unleashed led to politicization both of the usage of Thalian Hall and of the purpose of the Thalian Association. In 1868 Conservatives began to regain control of civic and judicial offices. Various actions were taken to counter Radical intrusions into the Thalian Association and Radical uses of Thalian Hall. One action was to expel the Library Association which had become a little too public for Old Thalian tastes, leading to a landmark court decision against the library in which Conservative judge and Old Thalian Edward Cantwell ruled the guarantee of permanent space in Thalian Hall to be invalid. A second action was to strip the Thalian name from Thalian Hall and to rename it "Opera House." A third action was to ensure that aRadical-infested Thalian Association did not presume to maintain its traditional social prominence; a political tract declared the old Thalian Association dead. The Thalian Association was pronounced dead by Old Thalian James Green Burr in a memoir, published locally in 1871 and given wide local dissemination, entitled The Thalian Association of Wilmington, N. C. with Sketches of Many of its Members: by One of its Old Members. It is a reminiscence of the pre-war years of the Thalian Association and paints a nostalgic picture of the beautiful days of the Old South and "the palmy days of the `Old Cape Fear. "' Burr provides long lists of the names of Old Thalians and includes fulsome biographical profiles. The work appears peculiar when one considers that at the time of its publication, 1871, the palmy days of the Old Cape Fear were barely five years in the past, and that most of the people memorialized in Burr's heroic style were still walking the streets of Wilmington. The Burr manuscript is in fact a political tract, a prime example of what is called "reconstruction literature," an emotionally charged work with athinly-disguised intent to shape Reconstruction-era public opinion. Burr's intent was to identify clearly who the Old Thalians were in order to distinguish them from the Radical newcomers and thus to dilute Radical influence over the Thalian Association. In this role the Burr manuscript was effective, so effective that even today unwary readers often take Burr at his word and conclude that the Thalian Association tradition is confined to the "palmy days of the `Old Cape Fear. "' Despite these attacks, the Thalian tradition survived. The Thalian tradition was taken up by the Tileston Normal School, a Radical education establishment, and moved to its nearby location. Thalian performances continued for the next three decades in the Tileston Upper Room theater. Thalian Tradition Provides a Bridge to the Modern World: The Tileston Era Whatever evils Conservative Old Thalians attributed to Radical newcomers, there can be no denying that newly arrived Northerners brought with them a stress on universal education and a commitment to the arts, and they invested heavily in both. In 1870 two Radical philanthropists Mary Tileston Hemenway from Massachusetts and Amy Morris Bradley from Maine founded Tileston Normal School. The purpose of the school was to provide a liberal education of the very highest quality. This school was of a kind new to Wilmington, where before schools were either non-existent or were for the Conservative elite as had been the old Innes Academy. This landmark effort in Southern education was accompanied by a commitment to the performing arts, a continuation by the "new" Thalians of the original Thalian charter of 1814 to bring "learning and the promotion of literature" to Wilmington. Thalian productions after 1871 were located in the Tileston Upper Room theater on the upper floor of Tileston Normal School. The choice of the name "Upper Room" is an interesting one and may have been significant, whether or not intentional. Amy Morris Bradley was a stern New England Puritan to whom the phrase Upper Room would have been familiar as the location of the Last Supper of Christ and his disciples and the New Covenant wrought there. She was also politically astute and may have been sensitive to © Thalian Association, Wilmington, NC 4 Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 19-2-4 Thalian Association February 17, 2008 the fears of the good people of her adopted home as they struggled to cope with the new reality of the post-Civil War South. Whereas the theater in the Old Academy was a commercial venture on the ground floor that supported elite and privileged education above on the upper floor, now, in the new Tileston-era, education was a universal public venture on the ground floor and supported a flowering of theater for the public in the Upper Room above. It should be noted that the Tileston Upper Room era in Thalian Association history saw the first female Thalians. In 1879, Wilmington local newspapers recorded for the first time local young ladies performing as amateur actresses on a public stage. In an early example, on June 13, 1879 the Wilmington Star stated that "This evening, at the Tileston Upper Room, the young ladies and gentlemen composing the Thalian Amateurs will present the patrons of the drama with a popular play..." In a sign of the times, the newspaper expressed only approval of the young ladies; for example, "Misses Fannie Dyer and Mary Clowe were particularly good" and "Miss McDougall quite distinguished herself." The Thalian Tradition enters the Modern Era The Tileston era of Thalian history began to come to a close with the death of Amy Morris Bradley in 1901. The ensuing years saw the closing of Tileston Normal School and a general degradation of education and culture all across the South. It marked the lowest and darkest point in Southern history, an era marked by poverty and ignorance. In these years Wilmington declined in size and wealth and endured a coarsening of culture. Education and the arts languished, and Thalian Hall was neglected and almost lost. But at the deepest point of economic and cultural decline in Wilmington, the spark of the Thalian Tradition had not gone out. In late 1928, descendents of past Thalians began to reanimate the Tradition with the formation of an amateur theatre group; inspired by the Little Theatre movement then sweeping America, the group was called the Little Theatre Guild of Wilmington. Members included both descendents of Old Thalians, veterans of the Old Academy, and descendents of later Thalians, veterans of the Tileston Upper Room. The Guild president was Robert Cowan DeRosset. On March 16, 1929, the Little Theatre Guild of Wilmington held an historic meeting, about which the Wilmington Star News (3-17-29) reported, "R. C. DeRosset, head of the Little Theatre unit organized here some weeks ago in anticipation of the present move, read papers dealing with history of the now nationwide Little Theatre connections, originated under another name in this city many years ago. The history was highly illuminating and was a revelation to many present. Proofs and evidences were submitted to show that the original Little Theatre plan had been instituted here." After DeRosset, guest expert H. C. Heffner, from the Carolina Playmakers in Chapel Hill, spoke and reiterated DeRosset's proofs and evidences. "Stressing the traditions of the city of Wilmington and of the Beloved Cape Fear section, Mr. Heffner suggested that the name `The Thalians' would be preferable to `Little Theatre Guild' for the Wilmington organization. The word, a derivation from the name of the Greek Goddess of the drama, appropriate in itself, was made more so by Mr. Heffner's explanation that here in Wilmington in the early half of the 19th century, the Thalian Association was a famous and remarkable amateur dramatic society, the first in North Carolina and probably in America." On March 18, 1929, the Thalian Association published in the Wilmington Star News a manifesto to the world. "Historically speaking, Saturday, March 16 was a memorable evening. For at this time, the Thalian Association was once more extant, once more a part of the civic life of Wilmington. In the good old days, when every child knew his classics, the connotation of the word Thalian was understood as implied. So by legendary connotation and modern intent the revived life of the Thalians bids fair to be enlivening and interesting. The Thalian Association of Wilmington, before its permanent christening sometime called the Little Theatre Guild, bids fair to outrival and outlive all former incarnations. It is desired that this association be expressive of each facet of our community life. Just so far as the Thalian Association is expressive of each side and phase of life here on the Old Cape Fear, just so great will be the success of this new group. For that is the object of the Thalian Association, to weld the varied interests and talents into a harmonious whole. The Thalian Association desires to include in its membership every citizen of Wilmington interested in any phase of theatre arts and crafts." © Thalian Association, Wilmington, NC Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 19-2-5 Thalian Association February 17, 2008 The Modern Era The Thalian Association thus entered the modern era with a long tradition intact and fully appreciated. The president for 1930 to 1935 was Mrs. Hugh MacRae, the granddaughter-in-law of Old Thalian Donald MacRae. The Thalian Association president for 1936 to 1937 was Robert Cowan DeRosset, the grandson of Old Thalian Robert H. Cowan. Thalian Hall was rescued from dilapidation, restored to its original beauty, and given back its original name. Stage productions were moved permanently into Thalian Hall, and the Thalian Association was in residence until the 1970s. _ ~ ~° ~; '~ -~,~ ,~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~ ~~ ~ ~~:~~ The Thalian Association also entered the modern era as a true civic cultural organization. It has evolved from its ante-bellum incarnation that catered to an elite economic caste through a post-Civil War incarnation that sought to preserve arts and education in a stricken society into its modern incarnation as a civic organization that "desires to include in its membership every citizen of Wilmington interested in any phase of theatre arts." Over the ensuing years the Thalian Association revived larger than ever and became the centerpiece of Wilmington cultural and social activity. Education and the performing arts were reinvigorated. Through the remainder of the 20th century, the Thalian Association led a renaissance of drama, music, and dance. Over the decades, the Association produced a continuing stream of literary and musical drama, all of it staged in Thalian Hall. By the 1970s the Thalian Association had brought Thalian Hall back to its historic place at the center of Wilmington cultural arts. In the 1980s the City expanded and modernized Thalian Hall and appointed a board charged with the tasks of maintenance and of promotion of its usage by additional activities. In the 1980s the Thalian Association led the way in Wilmington in bringing children into the performing arts with the founding of Thalian Association Children's Theater. In the 2000s the Thalian Association expanded its role in the performing arts by committing itself to preserving and popularizing traditional North Carolina bluegrass music. On June 15, 2007, the governor signed into law Senate Bill 872, "An act to adopt the Thalian Association at Wilmington, North Carolina, the Official Community Theater of North Carolina." The historic event was celebrated at a gala in Thalian Hall on November 1, 2007. In attendance were numerous prominent state and local political and cultural leaders, with the keynote speech given by the North Carolina Secretary of State Elaine Marshall. As the oldest community theater in North Carolina, and possibly in America, the Thalian Association has a vision of its responsibility as the champion of the cultural life of Wilmington. It is committed, m the years ahead, to embracing its long history and to maintaining the continuity of its traditions and those of Wilmington. It will continue to oversee a flourishing of the performing arts in North Carolina. Primary sources consist of newspaper articles, old play bills, and personal letters, accounts, and diaries.

Bacteria can contaminate shellfish and make them unsuitable for human consumption. Many marine sanitation devices (MSDs) discharge "treated" waste with bacteria counts five to 70 times higher than that allowable under state law for shellfishing or swimming waters. In addition, there is no annual inspection program to ensure that installed MSDs are operating as advertised. Without routine maintenance, it is entirely possible that an MSD is not providing the level of treatment that a boat owner thinks it is providing. Prohibiting all boat sewage discharges in NDZs ensures that poorly maintained MSDsdo notdegradewaterqualityand helps reducethe riskof human illness from inadequately treated sewage.

Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 22-0 September 2, 2008 North Carolina Alcohol Beverage Control Commission Attn: Chief Counsel Fred Gregory 4307 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-4307 . Mr. Gregory; Thank you for attending the open forum in Wilmington August 12t~, to discuss the membership rules as they relate to the private club status of ABC license holders. As we discussed, I would like to formally request that the North Carolina ABC Commission consider adopting a new membership provision that would allow an instant membership, thereby eliminating the three day wait rule. Reasons for this needed change include the impact of Tourism. Areas like New Hanover County see a significant increase in visitors and population during the summer season. It lacks good sense that we have customers at the door who can't spend money in our local economy. Most visitors spend less than five days here and athree-day wait sharply limits the amount of discretionary income that they can spend in our market. Additional reasons include the anticipated impact of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission ~BRAC}. Fayetteville, Jacksonville and Cherry Paint are anticipating significant growth as a result .of the federal investment in those communities to expand their respective military bases. This influx of transient citizens can offer a significant increase in the local sales tax base. Similarly, the growing film industry in North Carolina brings many transient citizens who could also have an impact on the local sales tax base in various North Carolina communities. Finally, the City of Wilmington is building a $62 million dollar convention center. As a result, we have one hotel expansion of 150 rooms, aseven-story hotel in the planning stage, at least two other lots under contract by hotel developers and the convention center's on-site hotel of 157 rooms. Downtown Wilmington could soon have 1,000 new hotel rooms and the visitor traffic to fill them. At present, we have 65 +J- alcohol licenses in asix-block-long area with a capacity of about 10,000 people. Half of those licenses are private clubs. We may not be able to support the visitors and convention- goers in our restaurants alone as long as this three-day wait rule remains in effect.

As we discussed, I would like to request that the North Carolina Alcohol Beverage Control Commission revise the fee structure for Liquor By the Drink (LBD} retailers. The City of Wilmington and New Hanover County are part of District 3. This huge region is served by only eight ALE officers who must cover seven counties. At present, there are 65+I- alcohol retailers in asix-black-long area of downtown Wilmington. Approximately half of those retailers are restaurants; the rest are private clubs. obviously, on a busy Friday or Saturday night, public safety becomes a top priority for our citizens and law enforcement. The Board of Director of Wilmington Downtown, Inc would like to propose a change to the ABC Fee Structure whereby local municipalities andlor policing authorities would be allowed to charge up to 100% of the state license fee for an LBD Permit. These funds, should local municipalities decide to enact the provision, would be used to address public safety issues created by patrons of the LBD permit holders. These issues include, but are not limited to, Driving While Impaired, disorderly conduct, vandalism, alcoholism treatment and education and domestic violence. We hope that with this change, the ABC Commission would ernpower the local law enforcement agency to assist, cooperate with and perform the duties of the ALE officers. The ALE lacks the resources to perform its responsibilities to the standard that the citizens of the City of V~ilmington expect. Empowering local police to assist ALE would give our community and many others around the state the tools we badly need to better regulate our numerous night spots.

Citizens displaced by approved activities are eligible to receive relocation assistance. The financial assistance will be as required under regulations 49 CFR Part 24 and the Uniform Relocation Assistance (URA) and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended. Definition of a "Displaced Person" A displaced individual is someone whose home, which is located within the Community Development Activity Area, is determined to be in a condition too dilapidated to be economically feasible to rehabilitate and will be demolished. This can also include a person temporarily displaced as a result of program activities such as housing rehabilitation. Definition of "Standard Housing" A dwelling unit is in standard condition if it is decent, safe, and sanitary. A dwelling unit is considered decent, safe, and sanitary if (a} it is in good repair and is weather tight, with no leakage nor dampness; (b) it has no health, fire or safety hazards within the structure or in the immediate vicinity; (c) it has running water, a private sewer connected to a flush toilet, and a bathroom for exclusive use of the occupant, with tub or shower with hot and cold running water, all within the dwelling unit; (d) it has permanent, reasonably efficient kitchen facilities for exclusive use of the occupant, including sink with hot and cold running water, cooking stove connections, shelves and storage space for food and utensils; (e) it has facilities or connections for washing and drying clothes; (f) it is large enough to accommodate the occupants without overcrowding; (g} it is equipped with adequate heating facilities; (h) it is adequately ventilated by at least one operable window in every room and is screened, or screens are available; (i} it is wired for electricity; and (j) it is located in a neighborhood which is free from industrial and other nuisances, is supplied with the community facilities of a standard neighborhood, and is reasonably accessible to transportation, school, churches and stores. It is intended that all dwellings into which displaced families relocate will be inspected by the County. If the dwellings are not found to be decent, safe, and sanitary, the move will be considered temporary relocation. 1 Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 23-1-1 Operational Coverage for New Hanover County, North Carolina The County Community Development Program shall undertake relocation that may not be covered automatically under the URA such as would be the case with voluntary demolition. The County intends for these persons to be served at the same level as those described under the URA and will use the Optional Relocation Plan to establish the coverage. Under the Plan the County shall provide relocation payments and assistance to the following: 1. Homeowners and their families who are permanently displaced by rehabilitation activity of a dwelling located within the community Development Area. 2. Homeowners and their families who are permanently displaced by the voluntary demolition of a dwelling occupied by the families and located within the Community Development Area. Relocation Assistance to Families and Individuals The County shall provide relocation planning, advisory and coordination services consistent with those described in Section 25.205 of the URA. These shall include, but not be limited to, the provision of transportation services as needed to view comparable replacement dwellings, or other transportation as deemed necessary and reasonable to support the relocation, assistance in submitting claims for payment, counseling and education on relocation regulations and coordinating activities with other social service and financial assistance programs. Temporary Relocation Rehabilitation shall be conducted without relocation of the affected occupants to the greatest extent possible. Should relocation be necessary and should available temporary housing be substandard by the above definition, the minimum standards set forth shall not apply. Such relocation shall be accomplished as economically feasible as possible. Of the two moves that may be involved, (out of and back into the rehabilitated structure) an individual or family may receive financial assistance under a Fixed Payment for Moving Expenses as outlined in this Plan. Temporary Relocation Payments will be limited to cover only those expenses that would not otherwise be customary expenses to the relocation. These expenses might include, but not be limited to, reasonable expenses for lodging for the period of displacement, travel expenses to and from the lodging or other temporary relocation site, and costs for temporary storage of household belongings. This would not include reimbursement for customary expenses that would otherwise be incurred (meals, normal travel, etc.} Relocatees will be required to submit receipts to the County documenting the expenses for which they are requesting reimbursement. 2 Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 23-1-2 Moving Expenses An eligible individual or family may receive moving and related expenses as calculated in accordance with 49 CFR 24.302. The individual or family will receive payment on the basis of the following moving expense schedule (Fixed Rate Method) which is prepared by the U.S. Department of Transportation and shown below for the State of North Carolina: Occupant Owns Furniture Occupant Does Not Number of Rooms of Furniture Own Furniture Each Each Add'I. Add'I. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Room First Room Room 500 700 900 1100 1300 1500 1650 1800 150 350 50 Under the Fixed Rate Method, it should be noted that certain rooms are excluded from the calculations. These include unfurnished or unused rooms, halls, bathrooms, attics, porches, garages, dressing rooms and utility rooms. However, should the relocated person(s) have sufficient storage room in the above stated rooms, the County may count one additional room for the sum of these, but this will not exceed one additional room for the calculation of the number of eligible rooms in the dwelling. Replacement Housing Payment A displaced individual or family covered under this Plan shall be eligible to receive replacement housing payments in accordance with the following sections of the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended (URA). Specifically referenced are the following sections of the URA: Section 24.401-180 Day Homeowners Section 24.403 -Additional Rules Section 24.404 -Replacement Housing of Last Resort Complaint Procedure The County conforms to standard ethical practices in the relocation of individuals and families and the desire is that all interests are protected. If there are any questions or complaints, the County shall solicit the cooperation of all owners and request an opportunity to discuss them in an effort to satisfy all parties concerned. The County has adopted the following Complaint Procedure: Citizens may make comments at any time during the program including the planning, the implementation and/or closeout phase.

However, during an inspection of three of the houses, it was determined that it would not be the best use of Scattered Site Housing funds to rehabilitate them. Given the deteriorating conditions of the houses, the alternative solution is to provide replacement houses. The budget constraints of the County's Scattered Site Housing Program at this time makes it impossible to do all the rehabilitation work as well as provide replacement houses. Understanding that the number of eligible applicant exceeds the availability of Scattered Site Housing funds, the housing needs of each applicant was evaluated and prioritized. As a result, the County proposes to provide three replacement houses. The following activities and budget are proposed to reallocate funds: Proposed Activity Proposed Budget Relocation Assistance for Three $233,607 Very Low-Income Homeowners Clearance Activities $65,500 $299,107 -Total The County is requesting the approval of the Program Amendment to address the unmet housing needs of these three very low-income homeowners. Thankyou foryourcooperation. Sincerely, RobertG.

Conditions within New Hanover County As the New Hanover County 201 ~-2011 Planning Committee examines the progress of welfare reform and the current realities for low-income families in our county, it is important for us to keep things in perspective. Despite our successes in putting people to work, reducing the Wark First caseload and forming partnerships to help families overcome barriers, self sufficiency still remains an elusive goal for many of our current and former recipients. Far same, the key problems include lack of affordable housing, limited transportation options and low wages which cannot lift them above the poverty level. They have joined the ranks of the working poor, sharing their frustrations and concerns. Low level literacy skills and illiteracy are major problems. ethers have even more deep-seated problems, including substance abuse, domestic violence and mental health issues, which cannot be resolved with temporary assistance. Dur efforts to address these difficulties are further hampered by current economic realities. New Hanover County is a coastal county located in southeastern North Carolina. It is the second most densely populated county in the state with a land area of 185 square miles, a population of approximately 18$,000 and a work force of 105,110. New Hanover County is experiencing the effects of the national economic downturn. In May 2048, the unemployment rate was 4.7% compared to a rate of 3.5% in May 2007. New Hanover's economy is predominately a service economy with 14% of the workforce in retail trade, 13.5% in accommodation and food service and 10.4% in health care and social assistance. The local hospital, county school system, university, community college and city and county governments are included in its list of largest 10 employers. According to the Wilmington Industrial Development, Inc., employment is pretty evenly divided between technical, managerial and professional jobs requiring specific skills and/or educational attainment and sales, laborer and service jobs with relatively law wages and few benefits. North Carolina's Southeast 2008 Data Book lists the average weekly wage in New Hanover County at $b63 or 92.3°/a of the North Carolina average. Adversely, the Cost of Living Index for the Fourth quarter 2407 shows that Wilmington's composite cost of living of 100.2 is above the national average and higher than Asheville, Charlotte, Raleigh, Charleston, Dallas or Atlanta. Without adequate education, training or supportive services, locating employment with a living wage that provides benefits for Work First clients hand moves them to self sufficiency} continues to be a major task for this community. With this in mind, our goal in developing our Work First plan has been to acknowledge the challenges we face and call upon our partners in the community to help us meet them, We also want to focus on the broader picture, helping as many low-income individuals as possible without giving short shrift to those receiving cash assistance.

The New Hanover County Public Information Office distributed media releases to television, radio and newspaper outlets throughout New Hanover County to notify the public of their right to comment. C. Planning Development Gn July 21, 2008, the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners designated representatives to develop the Work First Block Grant Plan in accordance with the State's recommendations in the June 19, 2008 letter to County Directors of Social Services. The core of the Work First Planning Committee includes persons who developed the Work First plan for the 2007- 2009 biennium. These individuals have worked together extensively over the past few years and are committed to helping low income families achieve a greater level of self sufficiency. As a result, each participant views the planning process as an ongoing collaborative effort that needs to be reassessed periodically. Many are already involved in projects with our agency. Several are members of our SUCCESS and Hardship Status Committees. A draft plan with proposed changes was sent to the Planning Committee in advance of a meeting held August 14, 2008. At the meeting, the committee members reviewed the draft plan and were given the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes and make recommended changes. In addition, other groups were approached for ideas and feedback. Focus groups were held with Work First clients participating at Coastal Enterprises and Rising to Success class at CFCC to solicit their ideas. Suggestions were also solicited from the Work First staff. The plan was presented to the New Hanover County Board of Social Services for comments and approval at its meeting on September 2, 2008. The New Hanover County Work First Plan for 2010-2011 was presented to the Board of County Commissioners for comments and approval on September 22, 2008. III. Outcomes and Goals for the County A. Statewide Work First Goals The NC Division of Social Services, in consultation with the county department of social services and county board of commissioners, will establish acceptable levels of performance by counties in meeting the following six Work First goals: 1. Employment-Self sufficiency will be realized primarily through the employment of Work First clients. This is a goal the state will establish prior to the start of each fiscal year. 2. Meetin Federal Partici ationBates-Active participation in federal countable work activities will lead to full time employment. The current TANF requirement is that 50% of all families participate in approved work related activities the required number of hours each week. The rate for two parent families where both are able to work is tracked as a subset of the overall participation rate and is currently set at Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-6 _~_ 90%. The following are New Hanover County's work participation rates for the 12 calendar months August 2007 through July 2008. All parent rate Two Parent rate 08107 48.86% no cases 09107 46.32°/a 100% 10107 38.10% 93.51% 11107 47.62°/a 97.22°/a 12107 37.78% 97.26% 01108 43.21 % 98.57% 02108 36.76% 100% 03108 39.6$% 100% 04108 45.1.6% 96.88% 05108 40.35% 91.53% 06108 40,68% 95.92% 07108 49.28% no cases 3. Providing Employment Services-Active participation in intensive employment services for all families is necessary in order to meet the participation rate and to ensure families are served adequately before the end of five years. one measure of success in Work First is the percentage of families who are subject to the work requirement that counties are assisting with job preparation and job placement. The state established goal is that we provide employment services to at least 80% of our single adult caseload and 100% of our two-parent caseload. 4. Staving Uff Welfare-Efforts to reduce welfare rolls, help adults find jobs, and increase self sufficiency are undermined when families return to welfare. Families leaving Work First because of a job are txacked to determine if they return to cash assistance. The state established goal is that 90% of the families who leave Work First due to earnings do not return to Work First rolls within one year. 5. Job Retention- Families who leave Work First for employment and continue to be employed 6 to 12 months after leaving the program show evidence of keeping their income and increased job stability, which impacts a family's well being. This measure will be based on the number of responsible adults that leave Work First Family Assistance for employment who are still employed at 6 and 12 month intervals following termination. The state established goal is to have a 60% employment retention rate for participants after 6 months off Work First and a 50% employment retention rate after 12 months off Work First. b. Benefit Diversion- The most successful outcome possible for an applicant for public assistance is to avoid the need to become a recipient. This is also recognized in the federal law, which specifies diversion from public assistance as a desired Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-7 _g- outcome. Use of Work First Diversion Assistance for a specified percentage or number of Work First applicants will be established by the state as a goal for each county prior to the start of each fiscal year. B. County Developed Outcome Goals New Hanover County DSS is actively involved in developing Leading By Results in our county. Statewide Work First goals 1 and 5 have been identified as top priorities among our indicators. Our county has identified additional indicators that will be directly impacted by our Work First Plan's activities and supportive services. They axe ~ 1 } annual % of child support enforcement collection compared to support obligated; ~2}annual % of persons potentially eligible for child care subsidy to go to work or school who receive subsidy; ~3} annual unemployment rate in the county; (4} annual % of citizens able to access affordable transportation in the county. IV. Plans to Achieve the outcomes and Goals A. Activities The following activities are strategically designed to meet the six State-established goals for the Work First program, as well as our county's Leading By Results Indicators. Special emphasis is placed on increasing our work participation rate while ensuring that fancily centered services are provided to Work First applicants and recipients. The specific state goals targeted for each activity are noted in parentheses. We are not offering a work supplementation program. Comprehensive Assessment Process Reducing the number of people who need to apply for Work First is certainly the first step in reducing the caseload. Work First is just one of many tools used by the Prevention section during the intake process to assist families in crisis and empower these families to be full partners in developing services to meet their needs. Based on the premise that clients are the experts on their fancily needs and that everyone has strengths, they see one worker who assesses with the clients all their needs on the front end and pulls in appropriate resources from the agency and other community organizations. In this way, we are able to divert many individuals from ever becoming dependent on the Work First Program through the use of child care, transportation resources, Medicaid, Benefit Diversion, Emergency Assistance and referrals to Child Support Enforcement, CFLC and/or ESC. Benefit Diversion, Staying off Welfare} Job SearchlJob ReadinesslJob Placement We currently contract with Phoenix Employment Ministry to assist Work First clients with significant barriers to employment who axe required to work in finding and retaining meaningful employment. In addition to providing a countable activity for meeting participation rate, the program offers intensive one on one job counseling, Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-8 - ~ - emphasizing each individual's self worth, unique gifts and strengths, as well as working as a team of job hunters. Participants identify a specific job that the participant wants to pursue and are then taught how to find those job opportunities and how to market themselves successfully to obtain the job. The program also includes transportation to fill out applications and meet employers. Clients referred are those needing more intensive hands on assistance than what the DSS staff can provide. Phoenix provides written follow-up reports regarding the status of clients who have secured full time employment for one year. Clients are also referred to ESC's Job Link resource center to obtain assistance with resumes and other job search related activities. CFCC currently offers a month long Rising to Success course which covers basic computer literacy skills, assessment of assets and limitations, development of a positive self concept, development of employability and problem-solving skills, and building awareness of the role of Information Technology in the 21St century. We will continue to promote the computer-based training programs offered by CFCC as part of their Rising to Success classes. The public library has computers available for public use and efforts will be made to link clients to this resource. Employment, Meeting Federal Participation Rates, Providing Employment Services, Benefit Diversion, Staying Off Welfare, Job Retention) Increasing Child Support Orders and Collections for Work First Families New Hanover County plans to increase child support orders and collections through our continued commitment to close collaboration with our local Child Support Enforcement Office. We will continue to support the partnership between the Child Support Enforcement Qffice, Civil Court and the Pre-release Trial program, to ensure that more defendants are released to work and continue child support. Further Educational Opportunities We currently have a successful partnership with Cape Fear Literacy Council to help improve the literacy skills of Work First participants to enhance their employability. We will continue to work with the WHA and CFCC to maintain GED classes at housing developments. Participants will be strongly encouraged to obtain a GED if they are not high school graduates. Every effort will be made to combine this with other countable components towards participation rate for adults. Teens will be encouraged to pursue this (or school attendance} as astand-alone activity unless part- time employment appears feasible or is needed to maintain a budget. If a client expresses interest in obtaining a higher education degree, referrals will be made to the financial aid offices of CFCC and UNCW to receive information on financial support through Pell grants and scholarships. WHA residents will be given information on the availability of resident scholarships to the local colleges and universities. Work First clients who were former foster children will be referred to the DSS LINKS social worker to explore eligibility for educational opportunities as well as other services. If clients express interest in pursuing occupational skills training or additional training to enhance their goals of finding jobs that will allow them to achieve self sufficiency, referrals will be made to organizations providing short-term Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-9 -10- technical education curriculums. Phoenix Employment Ministry maintains an active relationship with CFCC to enable Work First participants in the program to obtain their GED and pursue their college education while working part time. Employment, Meeting Federal Participation Rates, Providing Employment Services, Staying off Welfare, Job Retention} Work Experience Work experience activities will continue to be developed with private as well as public agencies. For example, we partner with Coastal Enterprises to provide work experience sites for some of our most difficult to serve Work First clients, which bolsters our participation rate. Coastal Enterprises provides direct supervision and progress reports to assist in evaluating j ob readiness or whether VR services might be indicated. We will also attempt to establish work experience sites at businesses that might be interested in hiring our clients with the assistance of ESC and the Chamber of Commerce. The businesses will also be informed of the WlA incentives to possibly enhance the participant's chances of becoming employed following a brief work experience placement. We have placed special emphasis on developing work experience opportunities that could lead to employment within New Hanover County governmental departments, including Property Management Department, the Health Department and DSS. We will also continue our collaboration with Rachel Freeman, a local elementary school which serves as a neighborhood school to numerous at risk children from the Creekwood Housing Project, in their efforts to engage and empower the parents of these students to be active partners in the educational process. By serving as a work experience site for Work First participants, the school has created a win, win situation for all involved. They build trust and rapport with the parents, which ultimately benefits the children, and it enables us to improve our participation rate and reinforces our family-centered approach to serving families. (Employment, Meeting Federal Participation Rates, Providing Employment Services, Job Retention} 0n the Job Training In partnership with ESC, we will intensify our efforts to provide Gn the Job Training ~GJT} opportunities for Work First participants as a strategy to improve our work participation rate. Dther potential partnerships will be pursued as well. Employment, Meeting Federal Participation Rates, Providing Employment Services, Job Retention} B. Supportive Services All services indicated in Section 11 S of the Work First Manual will be offered to participants. We will use block grant funds or other funding sources, as appropriate, to meet our needs. Some of these services are described in more detail as follows: Case Management ~-Enhanced Assessment Process Dn the date they apply for Work First, clients are given an appointment to attend a Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-10 -11- comprehensive PowerPoint presentation that is offered daily. This outlines Work First requirements as well as available services and is designed to provide a better understanding of each of our roles and responsibilities in supporting participants' efforts to achieve self-sufficiency. Topics covered include the Mutual Responsibility Agreement ~MRA}, time limits, the family cap, the job search process, countable activities, sanctions, IV-D requirements and services, Medicaid, budgeting, Food Stamps, child care, Earned Income Tax Credit, housing, transportation, and family planning, etc. Clients then complete the Personal Information Form BPIF} before they leave and are given an appointment to see a Prevention worker within the week. At their first meeting with the worker, a partnership is established through a comprehensive assessment process with the client that focuses on client strengths and tailor-making plans for participation in countable activities. Dur enhanced system will include examining some options in more depth and devising long and short-term family-focused goals. For example, information on area organizations that provide specific training programs and possible financial aid, including ESCIJob Link, CFCC, NHCCA, WHA, CFLC, etc. will be distributed and persons will be encouraged to pursue these options. Specific contact persons have been identified at CFCC and NHCCA so that clients can determine if their needs can be better met with a package consisting of educational financial aid, work-study programs, WIA assistance and non cash DSS services such as Medicaid, assistance with child care costs, etc. If appropriate, contact will be made with community partners after employment so that persons can receive support to move from minimum wage to a longer range goal of financial self sufficiency. In-De th EvaluationlCoordination ofMental Health Services For clients who state that they have a disability or other incapacity and are not receiving SSI or SSDI, a functional capacity evaluation FCE} will be conducted by appropriate professionals in the community to determine the client's ability to perform work from a physical, medical behavioral or mental perspective. Dne result from the FCE is a finding that the client has no capacity for work, and this finding assists in the SSI or SSDI application process. An alternative finding is that the client has full or limited work capacity, which enables the social worker and client to update the client's MRA Plan of Action to incorporate work activities based on the FCE results. For clients who are having difficulty obtaining employment but want employment, or who appear to be making no progress toward developing and or adhering to a plan for achieving self sufficiency at the end of a reasonable period of time, a vocational assessment OVA} will be conducted. The VA provides such procedures as psychological and academic testing, observations, interviewing, dexterity and motor skills tests. Additionally, this process will include requesting and reviewing school records. Decisions regarding future service plans will be made once the results of these tests can be evaluated. Based on the results of these tests, appropriate referrals will be made, for example, to VR. Mental health issues are a significant barrier to employment and affect clients in our caseload to varying degrees. We will continue to use a variety of resources to address this through private providers identified by SEC as the Local Managing Authority ~LME}. This Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-ll -12- includes streamlining procedures for referring clients to be seen by a professional immediately if the worker has serious concerns about the individual's behavior or emotional state; or for seeing clients as quickly as possible to evaluate and/or great them based on information revealed during an assessment. We will continue to use the "Emotional Health Inventory" ~EHI} when necessary. All of these providers offer evaluations, psychological testing, and various treatment options, including individual and family counseling, anger management consulting and parent effectiveness training. Following the assessment, the providers will provide feedback, and their recommendations will be taken into consideration in the development of service plans with participants. CoordinationlAdvocacy -DSS and WHA Finding safe and affordable housing is a critical issue for our participants and can affect their ability to function effectively on the j ob. As a result, we will maintain our partnership with the WHA by having quarterly meetings with supervisory staff and retaining an open line of communication to give us a better understanding of our respective requirements and constraints. f'hilrl (Warp These services are currently offered to individuals who meet certain criteria regardless of whether or not they receive Work First. See Item V.D, below for a detailed description of how we prioritize these services. We will work with Smart Start of New Hanover County to investigate ways to address our community's shortage of quality child care for infants and for non-traditional schedules. Work-Related Ex enseslPartici ation Ex eases Assistance is provided with the purchase of equipment, tools, uniforms, registration fees, etc. as deemed appropriate. In addition, car repairs are also considered if the client needs a vehicle for employment, the expense is within an allowable range, the vehicle will be considered road-worthy following the repair, and funding for the repair cannot be secured from an alternate funding source. Transportation Assistance with transportation costs is provided to clients while they are on Work First and for four months following case closure. See Item V.E. below for a detailed description of these services. Collaboration with Domestic Violence Shelter and Services Inc. Violence within the family is also recognized as a major barrier to self sufficiency. See Item V.G. below for a detailed description of our arrangement with the Domestic Violence Shelter and Services, Inc. for coordinating and providing these services. Coordinated Services with SEC_for Substance Abuse Screening and Treatment DSS recognizes the barrier to self sufficiency created by substance dependence and abuse in the family, See Item V. F. below for a detailed description of how these Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-12 -13- services are coordinated. Job Coachin~lAdult Mentoring Services We will continue to partner with NHCCA, Phoenix Employment Ministry, Coastal Enterprises, WHA, VR, Christian Women's Job Corp and members of the faith community to enhance the system currently in place to provide these services. Health Support Services A Registered Nurse from the NHCHD is available to meet individually with clients upon request and arranges ongoing family planning and other services as warranted. In addition, Prevention workers discuss service plans with the Health Department's Maternity Care and Child Services' Coordinators for our mutual clients and assist in arranging for other medical care when needed. Em to mentlCase Mana ement Follow-U Phoenix Employment Ministry will contact Work First clients and employers monthly after the original placement to assess how the employee is doing and if anything needs to be done to improve the transition from Work First to employment. Furthermore, our prevention social workers who provide our employment services provide family- centered follow-up services for four months after termination of cash assistance in an effort to address problems that could impede job performance. Information gathered will be evaluated and acted on to improve the employment opportunities and the retention rate of our clients. Prevention Services for Work First Children fur efforts to promote self sufficiency extend beyond the adult Work First clients with whom we work closely. Using a family centered approach to address the well- beingand self sufficiency issues of the next generation, the prevention social workers educate Work First parents about available resources and help them enroll their children in programs that will be beneficial, such as after school enrichment and tutoring programs. We are also targeting our child only cases for prevention services. Many of these children have been abused or neglected and are at risk of repeat maltreatment and long term welfare dependency. We are prioritizing children who have been victims in multiple CPS reports and are in the 1 o to 15 age range. This is the age range when the behaviors of children become especially challenging and our goal is to intervene and offer help before the relative caretakers decide they can no longer care for these children. In addition, relative caretakers are linked with support groups coordinated by the Child Advocacy Commission. V. Administration A. Authority The program. is administered in New Hanover County by the Department of Social Services. Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-13 -14- B, organization With the implementation of the Multiple Response System ~MRS~ at the end of February 2044, the New Hanover County Department of Social Services made major organizational changes designed to maximize our social work resources, build a closer collaboration between Work First and child welfare, and create an agency that is family-centered, strength-based and solution-focused. This family centered approach empowers families, making them key participants in developing services and demonstrates our commitment to the six principles of partnerships which are: 1. Everyone desires respect; 2. Everyone needs to be heard; 3. Everyone has strengths; 4. Judgments can wait; 5. Partners share power; 6. Partnership is a process; To achieve these goals, we established a new section of the Social Work Division, Prevention. The Prevention section is responsible for Work First Intake and eligibility determination, Work First cash assistance, Work First employment services, At Risk Case Management and Individual and Family Adjustment services. The social workers have all been trained in MRS, the family-centered and strength- based model and core training for child welfare services, in addition to Work First eligibility and employment services. Thus, if a protective services report is received on one of the Prevention social worker's open cases, and it is a neglect report, that worker conducts the MRS family assessment and provides the services recommended or services needed once the case decision is made, which reinforces the concept of one family, one worker. Abuse reports are referred to Child Protective Services far a traditional forensic investigation. To reinforce the family centered, strength-based concepts and enhance their skills in this area, the prevention social workers participate in Strength-based groups developed in partnership with UNC-W and facilitated by an experienced social work supervisor from the Prevention section. With this organization, Work First is just one of many tools used by the Prevention section to assist families in need. When clients come in to apply for assistance, they see a worker in this section who assesses with the clients all of the clients' needs on the front end and pulls in appropriate resources from the agency and other community organizations. In this way, we are able to divert many clients from ever becoming dependent on the Work First Program through the use of Benefit Diversion, Emergency Assistance for other discretionary funds as appropriate}, child care, transportation resources, Medicaid, problem-solvingladvocacy services or a referral to ESC, CFLC and/or Child Support Enforcement. If clients choose to apply for Work First, they are scheduled to attend our Work First orientation offered daily. They are assigned to a Prevention Social Worker at this Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-14 -15 orientation and given an appointment for completion of the assessment while the application is still pending. If approved for Work First, the Prevention social worker maintains both the eligibilifiy and employment services portions of the case. They have access to all the agency resources, i.e., child care, transportation, Emergency Assistance, County General Assistance, Medicaid, etc. as well as outside resources to help the client develop and execute aself-suff ciency plan. They immediately begin working with the client once the case is assigned and are sometimes able to divert applicants if other options are identif ed. They serve as case managers for these participants while they are on Work First, including, sharing information with the child care, Medicaid and Food Stamp units. Following the termination of cash assistance, the client remains with the same social worker for four months offollow-up services, including child care and transportation. A disproportionately high number of our work eligible clients are F coded clients, i.e. individuals who are incapacitated or unable to participate in countable activities, which negatively impacts our participation rate. These complex cases in which clients are not readily employable are referred to a prevention worker designated as our F code specialist. This social worker utilizes the resources noted above, as well as works more extensively with the client and with certain agencies including DVSS, SEC, VR, Social Security, Phoenix Employment Ministry and Coastal Enterprises, etc. to eliminate barriers and help clients develop self sufficiency plans, including establishing disability benefits when appropriate. In keeping with the American Disabilities Act DADA}and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the New Hanover County Department of Social Services ~DSS}does not discriminate or deny services based on race, creed, gender, language, sexual orientation or disability, DSS contracts with the Language Line for a telephone interpreter to assist with all competency assessment needs. Language interpreter services are provided free of charge to Limited English Proficient ~LEP}individuals. Bilingual staff throughout the agency are available to assist clients as well. Gur Work First program will ensure equal access and provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities as outlined in the Work First manual Section 117. Individuals with disabilities will receive individualized treatment, i.e. treated on a case by case basis and not on stereotypes and generalizations. Further, individuals with disabilities will be afforded the opportunity to benefit from Work First in the same manner as those individuals who do not have disabilities. C. First Stop According to the Memorandum of Understanding ~MGU} between the New Hanover County Department of Social Services and ESC, ESC will provide First Stop registration at the ESC office. An important strategy in our securing employment for Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-15 - ~~ - Work First clients is our relationship with ESC. They not only register applicants for First Stop, but take and process applications for Unemployment Insurance Benefits ~UIB}, when applicable, inform potential employers of incentives for hiring Work First clients through the Workforce Investment Act and complete any required paperwork for'~VIA programs. DSS is an active partner with the One StoplJob Link Center. A copy of the MDU is attached. D. Child Care When the availability of Child Care funding is less than the amount needed to serve ail eligible children, New Hanover County DSS will prioritize the order in which funds will be expended as follows: 1 } Children who need child care assistance to support child protective services. 2} Children of mandatory Work First recipients or Benefit Diversion clients who need child care in order to maintain employment, participate in job search or job training programs. 3} Children placed with foster parents who need child day care in order to maintain employment. 4} Children whose parents, or other adults responsible for the care of the child need child day care in order to maintain employment. 5} Children whose parents, foster parents, or other adults responsible for the care of the child need child day care to attend school or job training activities that lead to employment. a. Foster parents b. Teen parents attending high school or its equivalent c. Adults participating in GED or ABED programs ~6 months maximum} d. Parents or responsible adults who are enrolled in a post- secondary education training maximum of 2 year enrollment} 6} Children who receive Child Welfare Services and whose families need child day care assistance to prevent or remedy problems that may result in the neglect or abuse of children, to prevent foster care placement, to support family reunification, and to provide support in times of crisis. 7} Children who need child day care to meet developmental needs whose emotional, cognitive, social or physical development is delayed or at risk of delay. S} Children over the age of ten who are not documented special needs and not Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-16 -17- receiving care in second or third shifts. 9} Children in relative placements with the exception of children receiving care in second or third shifts. We also have a "Share the Care" program that is a publiclprivate collaboration of Smart Start of New Hanover County ,the DSS, private child care providers and the general community, The intent is to locate alternate sources of funding to address the growing needs for assistance with child care costs for low income families. E. Transportation New Hanover County DSS coordinates its employment transportation needs through the local public transportation provider, Wave Transit. Since its inception in July 2004, Wave Transit has provided both fixed route and paratransit services to low- income,disabled and elderly persons, as well as the general public. DSS has a MDA with Wave Transit to coordinate employment transportation for all eligible Work First recipients using Wave Transit services or other providers, if determined to be more cost effective. Wave Transit increased its regional transportation options to include both the Brunswick County and Columbus County Connectors. The Columbus County Connector, however, ended in June 2008 due to insufficient funding. As of April 2008, Wave Transit restructured fixed bus routes to expand access throughout a greater portion of New Hanover County. This restructuring will allow Work First participants access to a larger number of employment opportunities located throughout New Hanover County. New Hanover County DSS also provides reimbursement to Work First clients who provide their own transportation to countable activities and work sites. The amount of funds from our Work First Block Grant allocated for transportation services for FY09 is $75,000. F. Substance Abuse Services The New Hanover County Department of Social Services recognizes the barrier to self sufficiency created by substance dependence and abuse in the family. All applicants for Work First Financial Assistance are screened for substance abuse. A positive screen automatically generates a referral to the Qualified Professional in Substance Abuse ~QPSA} located at the DSS. The client is also asked to sign a standardized consent form so that pertinent information can be shared between DSS and private providers. In addition, if a recipient is not referred as a result of the screening, but a worker identifies certain "behavioral indicators" that could reflect substance abuse problems, a referral is made to the QPSA for further evaluation. Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-17 -1$- Since September 25, 2006, SEC as the LME, has contracted with East Coast Solutions to provide DSS with QPSA services. The QSPAprovides an in-depth, on site assessment to clients potentially in need of substance abuse services using the federal Substance Use Disorders Diagnostic Schedule (SUDDS}evaluation. when chemical dependence is indicated, she refers clients for inpatient or out patient long-term treatment programs. Dnce they are in these treatment programs, random drug tests are required. The QPSA monitors continued compliance with a treatment plan and notifies the DSS staff accordingly as to her findings. In addition, she attends staffings to review Work First cases in which the recipient has used at least 30 months of TANF benefits; attends staffings for recipients who have exhausted 15 or more months of the State's 24 month time limit; serves as a resource for workers who have questions or concerns about clients whom they feel may need to be evaluated for substance abuse and/or mental healthproblems and provides periodic training sessions for DSS staff. Dur agency strictly adheres to State policy in regard to applicantslrecipients who refuse to be screened, evaluated or follow through with treatment plans. Action is taken to deny benefits, apply sanctions or reduce benefits and appoint a Protective Payee in these situations as appropriate. In addition, anytime substance abuse is suspected in a household with children and the parent refuses screening and/or treatment, a protective services report is made. Our Memorandum of Agreement ~MOA} between the DSS, SEC and East Coast Solutions expresses our intent to reduce substance abuse related barriers to employment for current Work First applicantslrecipients and for Food Stamp applicants convicted of a class H or I substance abuse felony offense, and includes evaluation of clients for whom an investigative assessment resulted in a substantiation of abuse, neglect and/or dependency, and substance abuse was identified as one of the reasons the child was maltreated. The MDA spells out the responsibilities ofeach agency. Some of these have already been addressed in this narrative. Broadly speaking, under the terms of the_M4A, the QPSA is to provide on site assessment and referral to recipients in need of substance abuse services, to share in the responsibility of screening applicants and recipients, to provide prevention or treatment services for the recipients' children, and to provide a care coordination plan and case management for the recipient while in treatment. The DSS agrees to do the initial screening, utilize a standardized consent form and develop a case plan that will coordinate services needed to ensure compliance, including assistance with arranging and paying for transportation and child care as appropriate. The screening and follow up assessment by the onsite QPSA has proven to be very effective in terms of identifying those with dependence on alcohol and drugs, in accessing treatment for them, and in terms of costs. In light of the strides made in the area of substance abuse treatment, the QPSA has also been used as a resource to Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-18 . ~~ . assist clients who need to be evaluated for mental health services and acts as a liaison between DSS and mental health providers in this area when necessary. A copy of the MDA is attached. G. Family Violence Uption Violence within the family is also recognized as a major barrier to self sufficiency. At intake and at scheduled Work First reviews, the Prevention social worker notifies applicantslrecipients at the end of the interview of their right to claim an exemption from work requirements under the Family Violence option. If clients indicate they wish to speak with someone further about family violence, the worker calls DVSS and schedules an appointment. Although the Prevention social worker arranges for appropriate services for the client, compliance with employment requirements is not addressed until the Family Violence Assessment is returned from DVSS. The Social Worker then develops a plan of action with the client, incorporating the recommendations of the DVSS personnel. This may include waiving some, all or none of the work requirements and arranging necessary services. Dur agency has an extremely congenial relationship with our local shelter, which has enabled us to help participants who are victims of domestic violence more effectively. H. Maintenance of Effort (MOE) The following activities, staff, and services will be funded using Maintenance of Effort ~MDE} funds: Activities: Contractual agreements with Phoenix Employment Ministry for finding and maintaining meaningful employment, ADR Center for Child and Family Team facilitation of TANF eligible families, and Methodist Home for Children for Reunification and Family Preservation services for TANF eligible children and families Staff; Prevention Social Workers; CPS and CWS Social Workers; Child Care; Administrative Support and Managerial staff Services: Transportation, Emergency Assistance, Child Care and Employment Financial Assistance I. Child Welfare Services We will devote approximately $1,300,000 of our Work First Block Crrant to Child Welfare Services. VI. Emergency Assistance Clients are assessed for Emergency Assistance as a part of an overall problem solving and Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-19 -~~~ planning process with the clients to enable them to be self-sufficient. This aid might be appropriate for families suffering temporary economic setbacks or whose lives are in a state of crisis due to medicallpsychological problems, family violence, sudden loss of employment, inability to obtain or retain suitable housing without some support, etc. The following guidelines apply: A. The family must have a child who lives with a relative as defined for Work First cash assistance and who meets the age limit for WFFA. B. Total gross family income must be at or below 200% of federal poverty level. C. Family members must meet the same citizenship requirements as for WFFA. D. Assistance may not be provided for any medical care, regardless of whether the participant is covered by Medicaid. E. only short-term assistance may be provided. This is defined as nonrecurring, short term benefits designed to deal with a specific episode of need; is not intended to meet recurring or ongoing needs; and not extending beyond four months (e.g. payment of rent, mortgage, utility depositslexpenses to avoid loss of housing or essential services; temporary emergency shelter costs; repairlreplacement ofhousehold items lost due to a fire; etc. F. The annual benefit amount will not exceed $300.00 per family per fiscal year. Currently there is $50,000 included in the FY09 budget for TANF Emergency Assistance. VII. Services to Low Income Families (Under Z4o% of Poverty} New Hanover County is currently serving all Work First parents who are subject to the work requirements. We are providing follow-up and retention services for four months for former Work First recipients and Benefit Diversion clients. We will also continue to provide services to families with income at or below 200°/a of the poverty level through our prevention services section. Services may include problem solving, case management, counseling, job search, job readiness, work-related expenses, transportation and child care. ether allowable services such as parenting skills will be provided on a referral basis. We also have access to state and county emergency assistance funds to assist these families, as well as funding from the local Good Friends organization and the faith community. The amount of funds from our Work First Block Grant declared for low income families under 200% of the poverty level threshold is an estimated $120,000. VIII. Services to Non-custodial Parents New Hanover County will not provide employment related services tonon-custodial parents using Work First Block Grant funds. However, we will emphasize responsible fatherhood and increased participation by non-custodial fathers and will certainly support any community initiatives in this area. For example, we co-sponsored our second annual Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24 -1- 20 r ~ 1 - Fatherhood Conference in June 208 with Lincs, Inc., NHCCA, New Hanover Child Support Enforcement, DVSS, Community in Schools, the NC Division of Social Services and several faith based organizations. Entitled "Fatherhood, the Hope and the Future," the conference focused on the gang awareness and legal and child support issues. Wilmington Health Access for Teens brought in some teens to share experiences from the Synergy Peer Health Educators program. The program was well received by over 6~ attendees from the community. IX. Exemption from the Work Requirement Single custodial parents with a child under age three months will be exempt from the work requirement. If a single custodial parent with a child under age three months is in need of services, we will provide case management utilizing other resources available in the agency and community. We strongly encourage all parents to attend a Work First orientation session, regardless of the age of the child. QPTI~NAL PLAN ELEMENTS X. Innovative County Strategies We believe our most innovative strategies are our re-organization in conjunction with the implementation of MRS to bring about a more family-centered agency, a closer collaboration between Work First and child welfare services, which is also one of the seven MRS strategies identified by the state, as well as our prevention focus, particularly with our child only cases, and the strength-based groups we offer staff for skill-building instrength-based practice. These are described in more detail in section II B. and V.B, Additionally, we were awarded a Work First Demonstration grant to boost the county's participation rate beginning in SFY oblo7 and are currently in our third and final year which will end May 31, 2009. Qne of our most successful grant funded strategies is our expanded child care program which has provided child care subsidy to Work First participants with children aged three months to 12 months to enable them to participate in countable activities leading to employment and to obtain employment. During SFY o7108, this group of participants met the participation rate each month, with a rate ranging from So% in September to 104% in both November and December, Because of the success of this strategy in impacting participation rate, as specified in section IX, we will incorporate this strategy into our 2~ 1412011 Work First plan and only exempt participants with children less than three months of age from the work requirements. Furthermore, we are one of several demonstration grant counties selected to possibly implement a pay for performance strategy for our final grant year, which should improve our participation rate. Pay for performance is true "work first," in that all Work First clients who are receiving Work First cash assistance at the time of implementation and who are not exempt from participation, will receive their check after they complete the required hours as identified in their Mutual Responsibility Agreement Plan of Action. During the first month of their pay for performance, the family will receive a transition check equal to their Work Board of Commissioners Meeting 09/22/2008 24-1-21 _22_ First check. Because of the anticipated success of this strategy in impacting participation rate, we will explore with the NC Division of Social Services options for continuing this practice as part of our 2010/2011 Work First plan, once the demonstration grant ends May 31, 2009. xI. Special Issues Substance abuse is a serious problem due to the density and urban nature of New Hanover County. Due to insufficient mental health resources, we are seeing an increasing proportion of our work mandatory persons identified as F code clients or persons unable to work due to health or mental health issues. New Hanover is a coastal community and as such is very susceptible to hurricanes. when we are hit by a hurricane, staff throughout the agency are pulled from their normal functions to handle the disaster. Typically we must staff shelters for some time after the agency reopens. Large numbers of citizens normally not receiving any assistance from the county are thrown into economic situations that require assistance. Staff operates the Disaster Food Stamp program and sees a high volume of clients for financial help and problem solvingladvocacy. At times we have had to operate one or more Disaster Relief Fund programs as well. Being a coastal community also affects job opportunities in the county. As a tourist community, a significant number of available jobs are minimum wage at entry level, most without benefits. Our challenge is to assist Work First recipients in obtaining jobs with higher wages and benefits sufficient to meet the basic cost of living which, in New Hanover County, is higher than any other area in the state. Items xII, through XVI, apply only to Electing Counties. Since we are a Standard County, these areas have not been addressed. XVII.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: September 22, 2008 REGULAR ITEM: 26 DEPARTMENT: Health PRESENTER(S): David E. Rice, Health Director CONTACT(S): Kim Roane, Support Services Manager SUBJECT: Consideration of Request to Change Health Department Fee Policy to Increase Fees for Hepatitis A, B and A/B Vaccines Resulting in a Total Increase in Revenues of $30,000 BRIEF SUMMARY: Approval is requested to revise the New Hanover County Health Department Fee Policy to increase fees for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis A/B vaccines as per the attached fee schedule. The increase will support the increase in costs associated with the cost of vaccines and provision of services in our clinic. When establishing the fee recommendations, the committee took into consideration a market cost analysis summary, factored in the third party insurer and Medicaid reimbursement rates and the administrative cost of providing these vaccines to the public. The increase in fees is necessary to support the cost of providing the vaccines and the need to maximize revenues from third party insurers, who will pay only up to the cost of our billed fees. The current fees for these vaccines is well below the fees charged by surrounding county health departments and private providers in New Hanover County, and is also below the rate paid by third party insurers. RECOMMENDED MOTION AND REQUESTED ACTIONS: Approve the revision to the New Hanover County Health Department Fee Policy to include the fee schedule and fee policy changes as listed, and adopt ordinance for budget amendment 09-013. FUNDING SOURCE: Are funds available in the current budget for the full amount required for this purpose? other Above action will result in: New Position(s) Position(s) Modification Or Change No Change in Position(s) Explanation: Fees collected from the public and third party insurers for services provided by the Health Department.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION MEETING DATE: September 22, 2008 REGULAR ITEM: 29 DEPARTMENT: Museum PRESENTER(S): Ruth Haas CONTACT(S): Ruth Haas SUBJECT: Consideration of Grant Application for the Institute for Museum & Library Services (IMLS) for Conservation Project Support BRIEF SUMMARY: Cape Fear Museum is seeking funding to enable conservation of three of the most significant objects in the collection. If funded, we will contract with a certified textile conservator to treat: (1) 1861 United States flag displayed at the Wilmington meeting that voted for secession; (2) 1864 Confederate 2nd National "Stainless Banner" stitched by the ladies of Wilmington and flown over Fort Fisher; and (3) the uniform of Major General Whiting, Confederate commander of the Cape Fear Military district. These items are among the most valuable in the collection, are connected with the Museum's origins and mission, are professionally assessed as most needing conservation, and cannot be exhibited until treated. The estimated cost for treatment, including transporting the objects to and from the conservator is approximately $40,000. The Museum will be required to pay 50°Io of the cost. The Museum will meet its match through donations and restricted funds that can only be used for acquisition and conservation. Sufficient funds are available to meet the matching requirements for the project, that will last over two years. The project leverages community interest to meet treatment expenses, supports the Museum's long- term mission, and prepares the objects to share with the public.

I want to work with this committee to address how alternative means of punishment and rehabilitation can be used to reduce recidivism, especially when prior offenders are returning to crime based on renewed drug and alcohol problems. This is a growing problem for our community, and I want to assist in trying to find ways to combat recidivism and the alcohol and drug dependency of criminal offenders.

Qur community continues to face increases in youth violence and delinquency. This increase in problems with our youth correlates with and feeds an increase in gang violence in our community. As a parent, I recognize the importance that positive influences can have on young people. I believe this committee is uniquely qualified to create and establish institutional influences that can serve our community by training and nurturing our young people. This committee also has the ability to assist existing faith-based groups and other non-governmental organizations to deliver programs and opportunities for young people. These programs and opportunities can divert the attention of our youth away from the false allure of gang activity, drug use, and other criminal behavior. I want to be a part of this committee to advance its important mission of protecting and nurturing the youth of our community. '"What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? Devoting more attention and funding to programs that combat youth gang involvement Expanding assistance to faith-based initiatives Critically evaluating existing programs far effectiveness Determining how programs can work with the public school system more effectively Qualifications for serving: As an attorney, I have represented a minor in responding to criminal charges against him, although my primary practice as a trial lawyer has been with civil litigation. I have represented parties involved in civil matters involving minors and incompetents who cannot represent themselves. At Duke Law School, I studied criminal justice under two former Judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, so I have an educational background in criminal law. I also wrote a master's thesis on how violence in video games impacts our youth and how the developers of these games use the First Amendment to respond to challenges to the violence in their games.

There are many wonderful programs available to the youth in our community but same are restrictive because they require money. The lack of money and the boredom lead children, even very young children to seek other ways of filling their time. They generally get involved in gangs because it require no money to fain, provides a sense of belonging and to some degree a safe haven. I would like to be able to explore a means for youth to become involved in programs that are safe, healthy and free of criminal activity.
