(EOC) is the federally <br />designated Community Action Agency for Indian River County. Charted in 1965, <br />EOC has provided services to low-income, county residents for over fifty years. <br />As the Commission may know, Community Action Agencies are the local <br />grantees for Community Services Block Grant, and operate under the <br />Community Services Block Grant Act 1998 Reauthorization, P.L. 105-285. <br />Required by the legislation is a tripartite Board structure; one third elected <br />officials, or their designees, one-third low- income representatives, and one third <br />members of the private/ business community. <br />EOC is required to document the Commission's appointments to its board. In <br />past years, Commissioners schedules have not allowed for direct participation <br />and have appointed designees to serve in their place. EOC respectfully request <br />consideration of the following individual to appointment for a one-year term: <br />Grant Gillenwater <br />EOC appreciates your support and looks forward to working together and <br />helping those within our community who live in poverty and move towards self- <br />sufficiency. <br />Sincerely, <br />1 <br />Angela avis -Green <br />Executive Director <br />Voluntary Pre -K Head Start Community Services <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer 41 <br />
