Steve Stern, 1632 Keith Valley Road, explained that the resolution is in response to a federal initiative in the form of a contest, to reduce out of wedlock pregnancies. A town meeting has been held and four committees are proposed. Mr. Stem said that the focus in Charlottesville is proposed to be on teen pregnancy prevention. Ms. Richards said she has been impressed with the coalition and continuum of programs, and thinks it would be good public policy to support the resolution. Ms. Richards made a motion to approve the resolution and Mr. Toscano seconded the motion. Responding to question from Mr. Cox, Mr. Stem explained that there are a number of different pregnancy prevention programs in Charlottesville, and he would like to see certain programs expanded to all City schools, for which a grant is being sought. Mr. Stem said that he is uncertain why the pregnancy rates in Charlottesville are so high, but said the rate is correlated with race, economic factors, and performance in schools. Mr. Stem also said that the rate had risen in the 1980's but has leveled off in the 1990's. The resolution in support of the Partners in Prevention Program was unanimously approved by Council. WHEREAS, the federal government has allocated $100 million dollars in each of federal fiscal years 1999 through 2002 to be divided among the five states that have most reduced out-of-wedlock births in the previous two years without an increase in the abortion rate; WHEREAS, the Commonwealth of Virginia has become the first state in the nation to announce its candidacy for one of these federal awards by supplying incentives to local government, service agencies, religious institutions, nonprofit organizations and citizens to develop solutions to the out-of-wedlock birth problem;
