APPROVAL TO APPLY FOR AN ADDITIONAL $3,000 FROM THE NC OFFICE OF
JUVENILE JUSTICE (no match required): The funds, supplied by the State Office of Juvenile
Justice, were awarded to the counties in the state with Juvenile Crane Prevention Councils (JCPC).
State officials have indicated the funds may be used by the councils for administrative purposes, or
they may be awarded to local qualifying agencies. Iredell County's JCPC recommends the county
apply for the funds and then relinquish them to a qualifying agency. The Counseling Center has
expressed an interest in the funds. If the JCPC approves the transfer of the funds to another agency,
the board of commissioners will still make the final decision.
