John Andola described the proposed use of funds for the Vocational Education Depart

joining in the discussion.
Jane Isherwood, Richard Payne, and Theresa Westerfield described the Juvenile Drug
Court program, and responded to questions from the Board. Topics discussed
included client counts, results, number of positions funded, and whether they were
County positions.
Dave Owens, Theresa Westerfield, Rosemary Enright, and Marshall Wolfe discussed
Federal and County fiscal years. Dave Owens explained that the LLEBG funding
being discussed was for Federal Fiscal Year 2003, but could be used anywhere in a
two-year period beginning on the date of the request for drawdown. He added that
the Juvenile Drug Court anticipated using the funds beginning about a year from
now, but the School District program could use the funds almost immediately upon
receipt.
Theresa Westerfield noted that there is approximately $49,000.00 in the Clerk's Drug
Abuse Trust Fund, that the Substance Abuse Policy Advisory Board is charged with
making recommendations for its use to the County Commission. Discussion
followed.
Carol Eisenman made a motion seconded by Raiette Avael, to fund the Monroe
School District at $14 932 00 in LLEBG and County match funds, and Juvenile Drug
Court at $54 928 00 in LLEBG and County match funds; and an additional
recommendation to the County Commission to fund Juvenile Drug Court $14,932.00
from the Drug Abuse Trust Fund. Motion passed unanimously.
Clare Shaw described the Substance Abuse Community Coalition mini -grant funding
availability. Lengthy discussion followed concerning the purposes of this funding,
time limit, eligibility, whose employees would be involved, and so on. Ron Herron
made a motion, seconded by Raiette Avael, to request approval from the County
Commission to apply for this mini -grant for the purpose of performing a substance
abuse technical needs assessment in Monroe County. Motion passed unanimously.
At approximately 3:00 P. M., there being no further business, the meeting was
adjourned.
