TO: Members of the Alcohol Advisory Fund Committee
In preparation for the meeting scheduled for 3:30 P.M.
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.

to work with during the 16 month funding period, as opposed to the
$70,000 originally estimated.

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.

A Unu..:j Way Agency
Central Kansas Foundation
March 20, 1980
Request for City 467 funds to support Foundation Alcohol Programs:
1. 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,

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

$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.

2. 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.
