ITEM BACKGROUND: J4K provides services such as Keeping Our Kids Fit outreach, art classes, Art Against Graffiti, 1st Response Hurricane Relief, and prom clothing assistance for children in need throughout Monroe County. The School Board provides the J4K director with office space, communications, and storage of equipment and supplies. J4K seeks to stabilize its administration through this ILA, which the BOCC will provide a maximum of $16,249.98 to the School Board during FY'07 for the support of J4K. Currently, the director is a volunteer with no paid staff. This funding will allow for J4K to continue with paid administrative staff and to ensure its continuation beyond its current operation that is dependent solely on volunteers. PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On 9/20/06, BOCC deferred action on an ILA with the School Board to cooperate in support of J4K. BOCC requested staff to work with the School Board to revise the ILA to address the change in the relationship between J4K and National Heritage Foundation. BOCC requested that the revised ILA be presented for approval when completed. In FY'06, the BOCC supported J4K by providing $25,000 to National Heritage Foundation to provide services as recommended by the Human Services Advisory Board.
