10. Request for Approval of Budget Amendment #2 in the Amount of $64,500 in
Conjunction with a Request from the Unity Children and Family Services Agency for
Iredell County to be the Fiscal Agent for a Governor's Crime Commission Grant (pass-
through basis): Unity Children and Family Services successfully applied for a Governor's
Crime Commission grant in the amount of $64,500. The funding will enhance a program already
being provided and funded through a grant from the Department of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention (SOS or Support our Students Program) at Statesville Middle School.
The $64,000 grant requires that the county be the fiscal agent. Finance Director Blumenstein
has reviewed the submitted documents and talked with state officials about the program.
Blumenstein feels, at this time, that the pass-through funding to Unity and the subsequent
verification of the agency's monthly cost reports will not be too burdensome on the county, and
therefore, has consented to the arrangement.
Connie Cutino, the Executive Director for the agency, attended the 7 p.m. meeting and
provided a brief overview of the program. She said the agency worked with middle school youth
during after-school hours. Cutin said the students were assisted with their homework and that
organized activities were provided for them.

departmental supplies.
