Mr. Richard Whitted <br /> Page 2 <br /> `a April 25, 1980 <br /> 3) Non-Residential remedial treatment (including home <br /> and school-based programs) . <br /> 4) Preventive Educational Opportunities (to include job <br /> opportunities, recreation, etc.) <br /> 5) Specialized foster care. <br /> Having assessed and prioritized the juvenile justice needs of the county, <br /> the Task Force is prepared to present to the Board of Commissioners <br /> recommendations regarding funding of programs under CBA and JJDP. It <br /> should be noted, that in discussion of recommendations to the Commissioners <br /> regarding funding proposals, there was strong sentiment that a major <br /> consideration in funding, in addition to the service needs priorities, <br /> should be continuation of existing programs. Copies of each proposal <br /> received are enclosed for your perusal. For programs currently <br /> receiving funding, copies of the evaluation committee reports and <br /> self-studies are included. <br /> The Orange County Youth Services Needs Task Force recommends to <br /> the Orange County Board of Commissioners that the CBA and JJDP monies <br /> be allocated as follows: <br /> Sheaffer House $36,300 CBA <br /> Phillips Project $ 6,700 CBA <br /> $ 1,700 JJDP <br /> Janus House $ 5,000 JJDP <br /> Tree House $ 6,300 JJDP <br /> Related action taken regarding the proposals presented is as follows: <br /> 1) The Task Force passed a motion to recommend to the Commissioners <br /> that the Orange County Schools' proposal be approved for CBA discretionary <br /> funding. This program was the only proposal that conformed to guidelines <br /> for this funding pool . <br /> 2) The Task Force unanimously supported a motion to urge the <br /> County Commissioners to support the Sheaffer House budget request <br /> for a social worker position. <br /> 3) Although the Task Force did not recommend that ACCESS proposal <br /> receive funding, unanimous support was given to a motion to recognize <br /> the potential of the program and encourage ACCESS to stay in touch with <br /> the Task Force regarding future funding. <br /> 1 am requesting that the Commissioners consider these Task Force <br /> recommendations at their May 5, 1980 meeting. Representatives of the <br /> Task Force will be available to respond to this report at that time. <br /> Thank you for your continuing concern and responsiveness to the <br /> needs of our youth in Orange County and for your support of the efforts <br /> of the Task Force in addressing those needs. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> M. Harold Rogerson, Jr. <br /> Chairman <br /> Youth Services Needs Task Force <br /> mlb <br /> Enclosures <br /> cc Mr. S, tri, G7attis <br />
