Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No.21BCC000010 to recognize a total of $3,000 in funds contributed by the Rosetta B. Harris Lead Trust B via the NC Agricultural Foundation Inc. to increase the hours of the part time Kids Voting Durham Program Coordinator during the fall 2020 election.
This is a reimbursable grant contribution and will be accessed through the NC Agricultural Foundation, Inc. as needed. The position will receive increased hours for a limited period to provide additional staff support for what is expected to be an exceptionally busy Kids Voting Durham presidential election season. The funds will enable the position to address the complexities of a virtual election, supporting teachers and students, and providing increased support to Spanish speaking families and managing virtual student volunteer interns.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: The increased staff availability funded through this initiative is aligned with Strategic Plan Goal 1: Community and Family Prosperity and Goal 5: Accountable, Efficient, and Visionary Government.
Resource Persons: Christa Gibson, Community Outreach Coordinator and Donna Rewalt, County Extension Director, Cooperative Extension.
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board approve Budget Ordinance Amendment No.21BCC000010 to appropriate $3,000 in grant funding from the Rosetta W. Harris Charitable Lead Trust B via the NC Agricultural Foundation.
