AGENDA: ATTACHMENT
NO. 1
YCU – BRAD DRAKE
Brad Drake said he appreciated the opportunity of representing Your Community in Unity (YCU) and asked the Commissioners to claim the month of October as “National Domestic Violence Awareness Month”. Mr. Drake said domestic violence is serious and fast growing and is no respecter of race, education, ethnic background, social, economical, sexual or physical makeup. It is unspoken for many people. Domestic Violence is a serious crime that significantly impacts communities. The Commission Room was filled with board members, staff and concerned citizens. They were wearing purple ribbon pins as an awareness symbol of domestic violence. On the courthouse steps were placed 301 figures representing 301 individual clients that were served by the Brigham City YCU for 2003; the majority were women and children. The following is a breakdown of those numbers by community: 159 Brigham City; 41 Tremonton; 12 Willard; 9 Corinne; 8 Garland; 7 Perry; 4 Honeyville; 3 Plymouth; 3 Mantua; 1 Bear River; 1 Fielding; and 53 outside of Box Elder County. Mr. Drake said it is sad that there is a need for this service. The YCU shelter has recently been remodeled, and YCU has now doubled the number of clients they can serve. Funding for the YCU comes from federal and state government, foundations, grants, memberships and individual contributions.
A volunteer board and a paid staff operate YCU. They are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. YCU had over 1,600 volunteer hours in 2003.
Commissioner Davis then read the following proclamation: (See Attachment No. 3 – National Domestic Violence Awareness Month Proclamation.) The Box Elder County Commissioners and Brigham City and Tremonton Mayors signed the proclamation.

Awareness Month Proclamation and authorize the Commissioners to sign. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hansen and unanimously carried.
