CABARRUS COUNTY <br /> Department of Social Services <br /> P.O. Box 668 <br /> <br /> CorteGe, No~h Cuolina 28026-0668 <br /> <br /> Jam~ F. Cook, ,Ir. <br /> Dlrec~r <br /> August 12, 1986 <br /> <br /> HI~ORA~DUH <br /> <br /> TO: Blair Beunett, Couuty Fimauce <br /> <br /> I would like to ask that the attached budget amendment request be considered by the <br /> Board of Commissioners as soon as possible. <br /> <br /> This a~endment request involves no additional appropriation of County funding. <br /> <br /> Our agency contracts with the two LIFE Centers for the purchase of Adult Day Care <br /> Services for low-income qualifying adults who need this Se:vice to permit them Co <br /> continue living tn their home and to avoid rest/nursing home placement, State funding <br /> which requires a 12.5l local match is used for this purchase of services. <br /> <br />_ This su~er's session of the General Assembly increased from }1.1 million to $1.5 <br /> million the lundin8 appropriated state-wide for Adult Day Care. Additional 87.5Z State <br /> funding has~ as a result, been allocated to Cabarrus County. <br /> <br /> At the time that our budget ~as prepared, I anticipated that some additional State <br /> fuudtn8 would become available and, as a reiult, I budgeted the additional County funding <br /> which I anticipated would be needed to match this increased State funding. <br /> <br /> The Director of the LIFE Centers and I have agreed that a total of $79,800 should be <br /> budgeted. This would increase the number of individuals for whom this service could he <br /> provided from 17 to 26 for the remainder of the year. <br /> <br /> (An additional $481 tn local matching funding is needed to support expenses at this <br /> level. I a~ proposing with this ~eedment request that this amount be moved from the <br /> General Assistance Line item into Adult Day Care.) <br /> <br /> Please advise me if I ~ay provide additional information. <br /> <br /> <br />
