GRANT APPLICATION FOR FAMILY VIOLENCE PROGRAM: Mr. David Maupin, director of this program was
present to discuss the pre -application form. Three counties are involved in this program: Davie,
Iredell, and Alexander. Both Davie and Alexander have previously assisted in the application
process on the grants. The grant money must flow through a county to his program, which means that
one of the three counties must apply for the funds and then pass it on to the Family Violence
program.
Mr. Maupin reported there were 221 men, women and children who used his program in 1991. The
program began in 1984 with a United Way Venture grant and a matching grant from Alexander County.
Mr. Joel Mashburn reported that Iredell County presently funds $3500 to this program. There is a
board of directors that is from all the counties involved. They have an executive committee and an
advisory committee.
Mr. Maupin also requested a member of the county board or its designee to serve on this board.
(This will be announced at the 3/03/92 meeting.)

of calls for various types of assistance. They have received a total of 287 calls during this time
period for assistance in all areas.
The board members expressed appreciation for Mrs. Findt and Mrs. Stewart's time.
HOME AND COMMUNITY CARE BLOCK GRANT FUNDS: Ms. Melinda Hamrick, Assistant Director for

Social Services be awarded the position as lead agency for this block grant. Following her presen-
tation, Ms. Gayla Woody presented her program. Ms. Woody represents AAA through the COG region.
She requested that the board look at the community-based system already in place whenever they
choose a lead agency. Miss Anna Rice from the Council on Aging was also present. She spoke on
behalf of the Council on Aging acting as the lead agency for this grant. Don Wall, director of
Social Services, also spoke on behalf of his agency.
After all the presentations, the board discussed who should be designated as lead agency.
Commissioner Madison recommended the county manager become the lead agency. The board members
decided they needed more time to discuss the lead agency choice. Mr. Mashburn recommended the board
set up a meeting for the following week and see what is involved in being the lead agency before a
final choice was made. The board set Friday, February 28, 1992, 12:00 Noon, for a meeting date for
