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. John's 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.
Sincerely, 1

Request for City 467 funds to support Foundation Alcohol Programs:
1.
The Salina Court Referral Progr9-1l! 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
Sa 1 i ne 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
Re sid en t i a 1 Fa c il it i e s :
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.

(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 s~all 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 budgets.
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,

become available, serious consideration will have to
be given as to the future of both houses.

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:

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.
