Thursday, April 3, in the City Commission Room, you will find enclosed recommendations for your consideration. These recom- mendations are covered in the March 25 letter from Mr. Ed Shep- ard to Mayor Graves. We felt it would be of assistance to the Committee and possibly expedite the process if some of the preliminary work and proposals were handled in advance of a meeting of the full Advisory Committee. We would stress the recommendations are a point of departure and members of the Committee are encouraged to submit other proposals for consid- eration, if you so choose. You were provided a copy of Resolution #80-8473, along with the letter from the Mayor notifying you of your appoint- ment to the Committee. Please familiarize yourself with the Resolution and bring it with you to the April 3 meeting. One comment for clarification related to the proposals prepared by Mr. Shepard: the Resource Development Counselor although referred to as a new project would in fact be an ex- pansion of a program which the CKF has established, but is in need of someone to ramrod it and coordinate with business and industry. CKF refers to it as a joint venture between them and the employer. Ed advises they entered their first contract in 1976 with the local business for this type of service and the program received the endorsement of the Chamber of Com- merce in 1979. A copy of a report prepared by Norma Thomas, our Human Resources Coordinator, is also enclosed. The report summarizes the services presently provided the community by various groups or agencies. The final portion of the report headed "Needs of the Community" reflects random comments and observations which Norma obtained from people involved in providing the services and some who had utilized those services. r' Alcohol Advisory Fund Committee Members March 27, 1980 Page Two Also enclosed is a report made to the City Commission March 21 on the State funding situation. As a result of the problems men- tioned in the report, your Committee may have approximately $48,000 to work with during the 16 month funding period, as opposed to the $70,000 originally estimated. ..rc5cU tl~ Bill Harris Assistant City Manager BH:bh Enclosures: Ed Shepard Letter of 3/25/80 Norma Thomas Report of 3/19/80 Funding Report of 3/21/80 ....' - ., .....'T Central Kansas Foundation for Alcohol and Chemical Dependency TELEPHONE (910) 825-6224 .

KANSAS 67401 March 25, 1980 Mayor Karen Graves, Chairman Alcohol Fund Advisory Committee Salina, KS 67401 Dear Mayor Graves: Enclosed are requests for funding alcohol programs operated by the Central Kansas Foundation. As you directed, the three agencies which have been providing alcoholism services in this area for the last 13 years, met on two separate occasions with Bill Harris, Assistant City Manager, and others to discuss how these funds should be used to provide the greatest ser- vice and benefits to our community. The agencies which met were the Central Kansas Foundation, St. John1s Hospital, and Marymount College. The funds being requested are for specific purposes and programs which have been unanimously agreed upon by all agencies as the most effective manner to'use the special funds. The monies being asked for have been pared down to more accurately reflect the revised anticipated income. The amount originally estimated for the Special Alcohol Program Fund was $70,000. The first payment of this money to the City indicates that at the present rate of col- lections it will probably be slightly under $50,000. It was also agreed that should receipts increase during the balance of 1980, that original funding requests and new program funding would be resubmitted to your committee for review and action. I am taking the liberty of providing copies of this letter and the entire proposal to the members of the Alcohol Fund Advisory Committee and all city commissioners. ;;~J Ed Shepard, CAC Executive Director ES/jmb Enclosure OffiCERS Jim Rhaeso, PresidlMt Reese Dexter.

The Salina Court Referral Program has been in operation since 1974, and has become known statewide as a quality program which has con- sistently provided valuable services to the Courts of Salina and Saline County. Since 1975 Saline County has shared in the costs of this program. The last two years has seen a dramatic increase in referrals from the juvenile authorities. Our 1980 request is only $300 more than we were awarded in 1979.* This request qualifies for funding under Section 5, paragraph A & B. Amount requested * City Revenue Sharing Funds 2. Residential Facilities: a. Pathfinder House: In continuous operation since May, 1967. b. Casa de Amigas: Women's facility. In operation since March, 1976. Both facilities have earned respect and enjoy the finest reputations, and are looked upon throughout the Mid-West as excellent examples of true rehabilitation for their goal is to prepare their residents to return to the community as productive, reliable, sober persons meeting their responsibilities. Amount Requested 1980 1981 $10,300 $11,000 2. (Continued) We believe that much of our success is due to the home-like atmosphere which is provided. Residents live more like a family than a institutional resident. Each facility can accommodate only 12 persons. With this small number we can provide the atmosphere we believe so necessary to successful recovery. Staffing requirements and the services we are obli~ gated to provide as imposed upon us by the State authorities make it impossible for either operation to beome self~ supporting. Outside funding sources are necessary for the continuing operation of both residences. Both the Pathfinder and the Casa receive funds from the Salina United Way, the State of Kansas, and Saline County in addition to client fees. Two of our regular funding sources have been forced to reduce their allocations to us because the monies available to them had also been reduced. The combined loss to the two facilities was $10,000. Inflation has eaten away another $10,000 during the past 24 months from their combined budgets. Both homes have been on austerity bud~ets. further cuts and losses of revenue will seriously jeopardize both programs. It is within the realm of possibility that unless new funds, i.e. 467 monies, Amount Requested 1980 , . 1981 2. (Continued) become available, serious consideration will have to be given as to the future of both houses. We request funding for the Pathfinder House in the amount of: We request funding for the Casa de Amigas in the amount of: This request qualifies for funding under Section 5, paragraph A & B. The PEP PROJECT: This is a prevention project which is being provided to the two senior and the two junior high schools in USD 305. Although this is a new program with a unique approach in reaching young people, the results, to date, have gone beyond all initial expectations. This program has been approved by both the State of Kansas Alcohol & Drug authority and the Administrators of USD 305 and requires hard match. At the time this grant was approved, it was known that 467 monies would be available for hard match, as prevention programs were receiving high priority almost everywhere. This request for funds meets with the requirements for Section 5, paragraph A. We request for this project: Amount Requested 1980 1981 $10,500 $10,500 $11,000 $11,000 $ 4,800 $ 6,500 RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT COUNSELOR: This is a new project which will add much to the development of future quality alcoholism programs within the Salina area. The Resource Development Counselor will work extensively with the business community, to create an awareness of the need to become informed of the costs to industry caused by employees who misuse and abuse alcohol. Efforts will be made to show employers the wisdom in considering programs which will help them to identify these possible problems, and to offer them alternatives other than firing to correct the problem. Early identification, education, and prevention are the primary goals of this project. We anticipate that this project will generate sufficient revenue so as not to require continued funding after December 31, 1981, with an excellent possibility of further reductions in funding for 1981. Our request for funding for this project: July 1, 1980, through December 31, 1980 1980 estimated 6 months 1981 estimated 12 months This request qualifies for funding support under Section 5, paragraph B & C.

The 1980 Budget reflects the City will receive approximately $210,000 from Local Alcoholic Liquor Fund (10% per drink). This was budgeted $70,000 each in General, Special Alcohol, and Park & Recreation Funds. On March 14, 1980, we received the first payment, in the amount of $62,195, which was for the 7 months from July 1, 1979 to January 30, 1980, in the amount of $62,195. Based on this figure, we will re- ceive $80,928 for the balance of 1980 for a total of $143,123 for the year. Accordingly, we will be short ($210,000 - 143,123) $66,877 in revenue for the 1980 Budget in these funds. Don Harrison checked with Hutchinson, Junction City, and Lawrence, as well ,as the State Treasurer's Office. The other cities came up far short of their anticipated revenue from the tax. The State Treasurer's Office stated there appears to be a number of possible errors in both the collection and distribution of the funds. They are not sure all the clubs reported or that this first allocation covers a full 7 months. There also appears to be errors in c~editing the proper entity between cities and counties. As an example, Junction City reports there are no private clubs in Geary County outside of Junction City, yet Geary County received nearly $2,700. Reno County, like Saline County, has two or three clubs outside of the corporate limits. They received $14,500 compared to $5,500 received by Saline County. The State Department of Revenue has been hearing the screams from the cities. Hopefully they will soon have it squared away and the original projections will not be as far off as this first allocation would indicate.
