AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between Monroe County
and School Board of Monroe County (School Board) to cooperate in support of the Just 4 Kids (J4K)
program operated under a 501(c)(3), Monroe County Education Foundation.
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.
