CABARRUSCOUNTY <br />John K. Eller rv Department of Social Services <br />D¢ector <br />DATE: 1-29-08 <br />TO: John Day, County Manager <br />FROM: John Eller, DSS Director <br />RE: Requested CAP Budget Amendments <br />Rita C. Williford <br />Boazd Chair <br />Due to increased costs in our CAP Choice consumer directed program and medical supplies line items, we <br />are requesting a budget amendment to fmish out FY08. The increased costs represent Personal Assistant <br />expenses, as well as corresponding increases in medical supplies and equipment. <br />Because of this, we are requesting the following increases in the CAP Appropriations and Revenue <br />budgets: <br />Tine item Nnmher <br />Proeram <br />Amount <br />00195650 9110 TEMP Contracted Personnel Services $335,808.00 <br />00195650 9479 Communi Alternatives Pro am $26,000.00 <br />Total A ro riations $361,808.00 <br />00165650 6616 Communi Alternative Pro am Revenues $361,808.00 <br />Total Revenues $361,808.00 <br />For those eligible, this program enhances what our traditional CAP program does. Since it is consumer <br />directed, and not DSS directed, the client or consumer is the employer, and can hire their own personal <br />assistants to provide care for them in the home. These personal assistants, since they aze employed by the <br />consumer, can provide personal care tasks that ordinarily would not be permitted by in-home aides hired <br />by the County. The provision of these enhanced services, in many cases, prevents or delays more costly <br />placement in long-term care. <br />If you need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us. <br />Thank you. <br />7303 S.
