DATE: December 20, 1983 County
SUBJECT: Community Services Block Grant CY 1984
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Confirm the Board's November 29, 1983 authorization of the Director, Community Services
Department, to submit to the State Office of Economic Opportunity the proposed budget
for the CY 1984 Community Services Block Grant; request the Director to explore and
encourage cost-sharing methods or proposals among or between Delegate Agencies in order
to minimize administrative and overhead costs and maximize program capability; to further
explore the EOC and Area Councils' public input process for possible ways to streamline
and thus provide additional dollars for direct services, and direct the Director to
report to the Board not later than February 28, 1984 on the status of cost-savings
proposals and fund-raising efforts by the Delegate Agencies.
BACKGROUND:
On November 18, 1983, the Community Services Department Director was notified by the
State Office of Economic Opportunity that the preliminary allocation for the CY 1984
Community Services Block Grant would be reduced approximately 1.0.6%, from $645,987 to
$577,522. Following meetings with the Economic Opportunity Council and its Legislative--
Finance Committee, it was recommended that Community Services Administration and
Delegate Agency budgets be uniformly reduced by 10.6% for CY 1984.
The above recommendation was accepted by the Board on November 29, 1984 with Supervisor
Torlakson voting "no" and recommending the matter be referred to the Finance Committee
for review.
The Finance Committee heard the matter on December 19, 1983 at which time the Director,
Community Services Department, and members of the EOC offered testimony in support of
the recommendations.
