<br />
<br /> "The United Drug Abuse Council, Inc. reouests an appointment with the City Council of Portsmouth at its
<br />meeting on $ugust 25, 1970 for the purpose of requesting Council's endorsement of UDAC as the regional coordi-
<br />nating body for narcotigs addiction and drug abuse control activities and appropriation for a pro rata share
<br />of initial operating expenses.
<br />
<br /> Determination of pro rata shares of the initial funds required of each of the four cities in the United
<br />Drug Abuse Council service area -- Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach -- has been made on a
<br />population basis amounting to 4.4e per capita. In the area served by the United Communities Fund, Inc.,
<br />(Norfolk, Virginia Beach and part of Chesapeake) the Fund has appropriated 1~ per capita which reduces the
<br />amount requested from the Councils of those citi6s. In Portsmouth the pro rata share to be requested is $5,~05
<br />or 4.4~ perccapita for 125,077 population.
<br />
<br /> As you know, on July 23, 1970, the Southeastern Virginia Planning District Commission recognized the
<br />United Drmg Abuse Council, Incorporated as the Commission's coordinating agency for drug abuse control activitie
<br />within Planning District 20 subject to certain conditions which are being met by UDAC.
<br />
<br /> The United Drug Abuse Council, Incorporated has been accepted as a member agency, effective in 1971, by the
<br />United Communities Fund, Inc. It is anticipated that this source of permanent funding will be a~gmentedby
<br />other permanent funding adequate ~o insure continued support oft he program after the first year of operation.
<br />Therefore, it will be unnecessary for UDAC to request additional funds for a~l~inistrative expense from the City
<br />of Portsmouth in the future."
<br />
<br />~r~ l~adsworth spoke.
<br />
<br /> Motion of Mr. Turner that an ordinance be pr~ymed ~Dpropriating Portsmouth's per capita share to UDAC,
<br />!nc., was adopted, without dissenting vote.
