Plan Summ ary

Mission Statem ent: To create a drug-free environment in Whitley County througheducation in our citizenry, formal assessment of needs, coordination of local andsurrounding area services, strategic use of prevention plans, and incorporation of a

consistent justice plan.

History: The Whitley County Drug-Free Indiana Coalition was formed in 1989 with amission to create a drug-free environment in our community. Since its formation, thecoalition has held monthly meetings with an average attendance of 47 community members which includes representatives from the three area high schools. Agencies thatare represented include government, law enforcement, counseling, education, and

prevention. The coalition serves as the recognized Local Coordinating Council (LCC) forthe Governor's Commission for a Drug-Free Indiana. The Coalition operates primarily asa channeling agency for the distribution of funds to provide for drug and alcoholprevention, treatment, and law enforcement activities. The Council has been representedin several community events targeting youth and adults in drug and alcohol prevention.Substance abuse by youth is considered a primary focus in Whitley County. The problemstatements reflect this concern, as well as the programs which have been selected toreceive funding.

Summ ary of the Compreh ensive Comm unity Plan: D-FI identified fourmain problems to be addressed in the coming year. They are:

1. Substance abuse by youth and adults

2. Substance abuse and criminal activity 3. Underage use of tobacco4. Substance abuse treatment

The Whitley County coalition was formed in late 1989 and has attempted to includerepresentatives from areas of interests such as youth, parents, religious, business, media,schools, youth-serving organizations, civil and volunteers groups, health careprofessionals, juvenile justice, Office of Family and Children, law enforcement (City,




County, and State), and treatment centers. The coalition works with these representativesto address the issues of substance abuse facing Whitley County. Other communities in theCounty include Churubusco, South Whitley, Larwill, and several small unincorporatedareas. The County has three school systems consisting of Whitley County Consolidated inColumbia City and the surrounding area; Smith-Green Community Schools in

Churubusco, which is joint with a Noble County township; and Whitko Community Schools in South Whitley, which includes two townships in Kosciusko County.

Following approval by the State Commission, D-FI will work with community organizations to plan and implement programs which address the problems andrecommended actions identified in the plan. The County Commissioners will have finalapproval of funding allocations from the County Drug-Free Communities Fund to supportsuch programs. Organizations and agencies receiving funding from D-FI will be requiredto report their progress and use of funding at the monthly meetings.

Grant Process

Our fiscal year is from Jan to Dec. We have a grant

request form that must be filled out and returned by the October

deadline each year. A finance committee made up of 5-6 members meets

and goes through each application and determines how much each grantee

is awarded. The finance committee gives their recommendation to the

members and it is voted upon. As far as how the money is released, our

treasurer (Patty Cook) submits claims to the Auditor and a check is

sent to the grantee by the Auditor.

Through out the year, grantees give presentations to the coalition

about how their money was spent.
