COMMUNITY-BASED ALTERNATIVE FUNDING FOR FISCAL YEAR 1993-94:
Mr. Greg LeTourneau, chairman of the Youth Services Advisory Board
was present to discuss the programs recommended for funding for the
fiscal year 1993-94. He said the Youth Services Advisory Board
had met and were making these recommendations.
There are four programs being considered. Some of the
programs that have been funded in the past cannot be funded this
year because of the restrictions on the use of the CBA funds. The
state now requires that 50% of all clients in a program funded with
CBA funds must be referred through the Juvenile Court system. This
is in order that CBA funds help to accomplish its original goal --
lowering the training school residents. The two programs that are
being dropped because of not meeting the state's criteria are Day
Treatment Program (run by Tri -County Mental Health) and Residential
Program (run by Social Services). The school system will pick up
the Day Treatment Program with its resources and the program will
continue without CBA funds. Social Services has used their funds
to place clients in long-term care homes. These funds will have to
come from another source. This was never a high funded program
through CBA.
Mr. LeTourneau reviewed the four programs that are funded and
explained the increases in the requests for funding. The youth
home is being given $69,000, which is an increase in the CBA
funding because of two additional part-time positions that will
give more assistance to the children during the after-school hours.
This will provide extra supervision while the regular houseparents
are doing other chores like preparing the evening meal and working
one-on-one with a child.
