RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation Concerning the Donation of a Dodge Durango to the Escambia County Healthy Start Coalition - Commissioner Steven Barry, District 5
That the Board adopt and authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution authorizing the donation of a 2000 Dodge Durango, Vin #1B4HR28Y3YF268819, to the Escambia County Healthy Start Coalition, a not-for-profit Florida Corporation.
BACKGROUND:
The Dodge Durango has been approved for disposition and is in fair condition but is no longer usable by the County. The Escambia County Healthy Start Coalition offers a number of programs, such as grief support, safe sleep initiative, FIMR (fetal and infant mortality review), and baby showers. These programs help educate Moms on proper care for not only their infants but also themselves. In June of this year, Healthy Start opened a new clinic in Century where these programs are available, as well as the WIC program being offered on the second Tuesday of every month. Transportation is a major concern for these women and children in this area and therefore this donation would be an asset to the Healthy Start Coalition and the Community.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
N/A
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
The Resolution was prepared by the County Attorney’s Office and has been approved by the County Attorney, Alison Rogers.
