This came about as the Legislature appropriated additional State <br /> funding and changed the formula the State uses in allocating funding to counties. <br /> <br /> This funding is utilized in purchasing Ch~ild Da~ Care Services for children <br /> .in lgX_l_nc~e__~qualifying families primarily where the parents geed ~h-i's servi~-' <br /> in order to be em~l~-~d.~-~k'~-hag~ been purchasing care for 100 to 120 children at <br /> any given time. <br /> <br /> Cabarrus County has been allocated $195,838 in State/Federal funding for FY <br /> 85-86. This is allocated in four quarterly allocations of $48,959 each. Each <br /> quarter, any funding not expended reverts to the State (though it viii be <br /> available in subsequent year allocations). As we vere not informed of this <br /> higher allocation until August, we ~ill revert about $12,000, leaving $183,838. <br /> This is ~53,5t6 more than ye were initially allocated and $30,235 more than the <br /> $153,608 we anticipated and budgeted. ~e are thus requesting that $30,235 in <br /> Federal/State funding be added to our budget for Child Day Care Services. <br /> <br /> Depending upon how successful we are in entering into contracts with <br /> additional providers and/or in expanding existing contracts, and how quickly <br /> children can be enrolled, this additional funding~could.plo~ide._ser~ic_e_s...~P_~0~to__- <br /> ~. a~.d~!t~ipB~l' chll~ ~u$ing the remainder of the year. <br /> Please let me know if I can provide additional information. <br /> <br /> Thank you. <br /> <br /> cc: ~lair Bennett, County Finance Officer <br /> <br /> <br />
