BOX 8181 <br />Cameron <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear John, <br />'~ ~" ~ III <br />I~ ;, FEB 2 / 2~;; ~~ <br />~I 'cl'1~ I~ <br />Last yeaz when the state cut $25,000 from the PreTrial Services <br />budget, the county restored $20,000. Due to continued shortfall after <br />Criminal Justice Partnership Program (CJPP) money is spent, we aze <br />requesting $12,000 to finish this fiscal yeaz. The facts and figures have <br />been provided to Ms. Mestas in the budget depaztment. <br />I will include the request for next yeaz's complementary funding for <br />PreTrial in the Human Services Application for 2004-2005. Your <br />timely assistance in and attention to this matter is much appreciated. <br />Due to losing neazly $50,000 (approximately 1/3 of our budget) between <br />two programs in our corporation, we have reduced staff. This is <br />especially challenging as we are experiencing a growing need for both <br />services. <br />As Director, I have continued to prepare sentencing proposals <br />(Sentencing Services) and work with the inmates for first appearances <br />to reduce the jail population (PreTrial Services) due to the cuts in <br />funding from the state. Program administration is accomplished without <br />support staff other than a contractual bookkeeper. As mental health <br />reform seems likely to increase the need for our services, I truly <br />appreciate your understanding of the changes we have experienced as <br />we continue to meet the needs of the judiciary for information they <br />value to reduce costs and damages to the community. <br />E'Sincerely, ' <br />yce uhn <br />ir~ct r <br />Cc: Rooney Mestas <br />Sharron Hinton <br />Trish Vandetsea <br />A NON-PROFI I.
