In preparation for future discussions, the MPA intern is <br /> presently researching established Information & Referral <br /> Systems which are available in other jurisdictions. An <br /> assessment of these systems and recommendations from the <br /> Coordinating Council regarding automation efforts should be <br /> available in March 1995. <br /> With respect to the $20, 000 held in reserve from CBA <br /> funding, the County has conducted an automation assessment of <br /> the five currently funded CBA programs. The assessment was <br /> designed to determine their respective needs in order to <br /> access the County's Master Client Index (MCI) System. <br /> After meeting with each agency, it was determined that <br /> the necessary equipment totaled $10, 260. A recommendation <br /> for this amount was requested; of that amount, $5, 260 was <br /> approved by the Youth Services Needs Task Force. The balance <br /> of the $20, 000 reserve was re-distributed to meet other <br /> county needs, including those of Communities in Schools <br /> (CIS) . It is anticipated that the remaining computer needs <br /> will be met with possible discretionary funds available in <br /> 1995. <br />
