D~ee~or <br /> <br />TO: Blair Bennett, County Finance Officer <br />FRO~i: Jim Cook, Social Se;vice' DireCts{ <br />DATE: December 31, 1984 <br />SdBJECT: Attached Budget Amendment Request <br /> <br /> Attached is a budget amendment request which ~uld add $23,310.00 in <br />100% State funding to the Social Service Budget for Child Day Care Services. <br />I would like to ask that it be considered at the first January meeting of <br />the Board of Commissioners. <br /> <br /> We purchase Day Care for low-income qualifying families primarily <br />where this service is needed to permit the parent to be employed or to <br />receive training leading to employment. Host of our day care recipients <br />are able to avoid or lessen welfare dependency by virtue of having this <br />service. <br /> <br /> We have needed additional State/Federal funding to expand the Day <br />Care Services which we are currently able to provide. There has been a <br />steady increase in demand, lye have recently had a waiting list with up to <br />twenty (20) children on it. The new school system aftor school program is <br />anticipated to add to this demand as is the new Employment and Training <br />Support Service we are getting under way for AFDC mothers. <br /> <br /> ~e currently have the capacity to provide services to ninety (90) <br />children at any given time. <br /> <br /> Recently, we requested additional funding of about $S0,DDD.00 from <br />the State for use in expanding services, particularly in connection with <br />the after school program and our ney Employment and Training Support <br />Service. <br /> <br /> The State has allocated us this additional $23,310,00 in response to <br />this request. This funding is earmarked for recipients of the Employment <br />and Training Support Service who receive AFDC. The availability of this <br />funding, however, will allow us to expand Day Care Services in general. <br />Me anticipate that up to thirty ($0) additional children could be served. <br /> <br /> Please advise me if I can provide additional information. <br /> <br /> Thank you. <br /> <br />JFC/hjb <br /> <br /> Charles ~IcGinnis <br />CCi <br /> <br /> <br />
