Revision of Transportation Plan and UMTA 16 (b)(2) Capital Assistance Application, Mr. Passmone, Director of the Department on Aging, told the Board that the County should know by January if funding f or this project wou ld be available (For specifics of the revised Transportation Development Plan, see pages of this book.)

Planning Director Salary Authorization: Commissioner Gustaveson moved, seconded by Commissioner Marshall, to approve hiring Mr. Marvin Collins at Salary Grade 77, Step 4B. Vote: Ayes, 5; noes, O. E. REPORT--HEADSTART AND TDTLE V The Manager presented A report to the Board and passed out a memorandum (see agenda file for this date for a copy) giving an update on the Older Americans Act (Titles III B, III C and V), the Headstart Program and the Emergency Assistance Payments Program. He noted that the threat to Title V { had been defused for the time being with the over-ride of the President's (Reagan's) veto. The Manager said the Headstart program would be administered i ~ through Wake Opportunities through December 31, 1982, (as clarified by Commissioner Willhoit); he added that Project Outreach in Chapel Hill had not decided yet D��� 68,1. whether or not to submit a proposal for the Headstart Program. The Board asked to be updated on Headstart as it preferred that sponsorship be acquired by a Chatham or Orange County based organization, The next scheduled update is on Monday, September 27, 1982. Regarding the Emergency Assistance Payments, the Manager said there were no Federal funds allocated and therefore this would continue to be a 100% County funded program. Commissioner Marshall said that Ms. Janice Schopler, Chair of the Board of Social Services, would be sending the Board of Commissioners a letter indicating that the funds for the Emergency Assistance Payments was being rapidly depleted; further, Commissioner Marshall said the agencies such as the Inter-Faith Council and Samaritan Relief Fund, were not setting aside funds for the winter. DSS is unable to meet existing needs and is turning people away. Commissioner Willhoit said this use of Block Grant funds, for Emergency Assistance Payments, is acceptable under the block grant guidelines and as JOCCA is having a public meeting on September 22nd, this need should be addressed at the meeting in order that JOCCA can work it into its work program. Economic Development: Commissioner Marshall reported on the results of the Economic Development Working Committee meeting held on September 16, 3982. She said after several hours of discussion, the Committee asked that the Town Managers of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and the County Manager meet together to disoussthese issues (governmental responsibilities and the Board of Dir- ectors) and report back to the Committee. Commissioner Marshall said she would like for the Board to have a work session with the Manager to clarify the County's position on this issue. There was a consensus that such a session should be scheduled on either the September 27 or October 4th meeting of the Board. Commissioner Whitted said the North Carolina Association of County Commis- sioners' President, Forrest Campbell, had scheduled hearings on the Legislative goals and that he, Commissioner Whitted, has been asked to serve on the Legislative Goals Committee. With no further business, Commissioner Gustaveson moved, seconded by Com- missioner Marshall to adjourn- Vote: Ayes, 5; noes, O. | Richard E.

At the State level, some underutilized low income energy assistance fund are being transferred to the NCH Block Grant, We can obtain $12,736 via filling out a Family Planning budget amendment. B. The funds can not be spent on personnel but can be spent in family planning operations and/or equipment, C. At the August 26, 1982 Board of Health meeting, the Health Director re , commended that the funds be uses to purchase equipment from the miV years accumulation of unfunded equipment needs, The Board of Healt voted to recommend such use to the Commissioners, D. Subsequently, the Manager met with the Health Board Chairman and C. Director and advocated all the grant be used to offset a $33,5M in local funds to family planning this fiscal year due to federal reductions. E. The aforementioned parties have agreed to the recommendation Need: The County would benefit from the extra grant. Impact: If used as recommended below, the County funds increase to family planni7:z be reduced by $6,368; secondly, the Health Department would be able to purch .) , (primarily) patient oriented furniture and educational equipment.

The Family Planning Branch is pleased to allocate $12,736 in Block Grant funds Ito the Orange County Health Department for use in FY1982-83. Since there is no indication that similar funds will be available in FY1983-84, We recommend that these funds be used accordingly. 1 The FaMily Planning Branch finds that your proposal to use federal funds to free-up local dollars to make an equipment purchase is acceptable. An additional advantage of your proposal is that title to any equipment purchased with local money would remain with the county. A partially-completed budget revision, increasing the total family planning budget by reflecting the change in revenue, will be sent to you soon. Please distribute this additional revenue and route the completed revision tolDenise in Fayetteville for further processing.

DEED: LOT recei-ved_a petition for addition of part of Melville Road onto the State Maintained System. DOT recommends that the portion of Melville Road not be added to the State Maintained System because of excessive cost of improvement relative to the number of houses served. The MT Secondary Road Addition Investigation Report is attached. The petition has not been sent to the County by MT. IMPACT: If the petition for addition of part of`1.Vb1lalle Road onto the State Maintained System is not approved, all maintenance on the road will - have to be provided for by residents a1on the road. Should the residents be willing to upgrade the road to State standards, DOT would most likely reconsider the request.for State maintenance. aCIDIVEaDATION: Disapproval of the petition for acceptance of the road onto the State Maintained System. • ' . . „ „ • • 41111'.241LA._. 4111.N' sk.411E-ri 4-rn STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION JAMES B.HUNT.JR Graham, North Carolina 27253-0766 GOVERNOR DIVISION OF HIGHWAY September 13, 1982 WILLIAM R.ROBERSON,JR SECRETARY Orange CeurrW M .

Three items: '- (l) A Schedule for Actions and Improvements in the Orange County Coordinated Human Services Transportation System in the Period 1981-1985 (Attachment #1), specifically: (a) developing a formal coordinated structure entitled Orange C.A.T. for Orange County Coordinated Agency Transportati (b) designating JOCCA as lead transportation agency for p`/r+ of capital equipment requests under UMTA l6(b)(2) (c) establishing an independent Orange County transportation board responsible to the County Commissioners (d) allowing C.A.T, vehicles to purchase fuel from the County garage (e) designating Orange County (DOA Director as coordinator to work with County staff) as manager of a central vehicle maintenance system on behalf of the Orange C.A.T. (2) A Revised Replacement Schedule for Vehicles and Related Capital ' -- Equipment that includes the April UMTA Application (Attachment #2t (3) The UMTA 16(b)(2) Capital Assistance Application submitted in April 1982 JOCCA on behalf of the C & T and a decision on the �pr by , . . funding contribution, if any, for the applicatinn. Application specifies $7"035 of County funds (Attachment #3). NEED:- Although JOCCA`s 1982 application for 16(b)(2) funds was found satisfactory ' by the State (see Attachment #4), it was not approved due to the lack of funds at the State level. Nonetheless, action is needed by the Board for (1) processing the UMTA 16(b)(2) application by the N.C. Dept. of Transportation in the event that funding becomes available later this year and (2) establishing a governing body to coordinate vehicle requests and the transportation system. IMPACT: If approved, the revised TDP will mean the possibility of several thousands of dollars of UMTA Capital Assistance funds. However, it may require additional County funds to match future UMTA applications and will indicate an increased County involvement in coordinating transportation. REC0MENDpJl0N(S): Department on Aging staff recommends approval. Attachment ��i//~��� Revised April , l982 39.! A SCHEDULE FOR ACTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ORANGE COUNTY COORDINATED HUMAN SERVICES TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN THE PERIOD 1981 - 1985 1981 As outlined in the initial service design in the TDP, the system will— begin operations in the fall of 1081 after certain a n ac tions are completed At this point (6/81 ) management of the system is under an informal alliance of the Human Services Advisory Commission (HSAC) Transportation Committee and Orange County. The actions include (l ) appointing a part-timecoordt- nator and arranging for senior worker staff, (2)finalizing vehicle lease and operating agreement with the relevant agencies, (3) developing and arranging maintenance contracting, and (4) arranging fuel purchase through the county garage. The HSAC Transportation Committee as the governing board, needs to be formalized at some point as well as clarifying manage- ment structure and responsibilities . Establishing an evaluation methodology for system's development and operations is also needed in the first year. Vehicle operating and administrative costs in FY 81-82. [not fncludi-1 salaries) are projected at $94,807 with $87,107 to be provided by Or,'"' Department on Aging (DOA) , Orange-Person-Chatham Mental Health (D' ' Joint Orange-Chatham Community Action (JOCCA) and Orange-Chatham Comprehensive Health Services and $7,700 by Orange County, Initially Orange-Chatham Comprehensive Health Service (OCCHS) did not participate in � � transportation the transpnrtati plan, but a medical rnute was developed and coordinated between DnA and OCCHS on trips between Prospect Hill- Cedar Grove- Hillsborough and Chapel Hill-Carrboro area. Orange County will be providing the local match $7,700 for JOCCA'S April , 1981 UMTA 16-b-2 application to replace five vehicles. Additional ^ County funds will be requested in FY 81-82 for the system's projected Spring 1982 UMTA 16-b-2 application for vehicle replacement and for future applications . - - _- __ --_-_-_____. _ _ . - ' �� , - �=,=~ ��v ��l��' . - 2 - 1982 In regard to the management structure, the major actors (Orange County, HSAC, and the four agencies) will need to decide by 1982 whether to continue on the basis of an informal county-agency alliance or to adopt the HSAC Transportation Committee' s recommendations which include - (1 ) developing a formal coordinated structure entitled Orange C.A.T. for Orange County Coordinated Agency Transportation, This would involve a highly visible and unified identity for all coordinated Vehicles through common orange color and vehicle labeling. (2) designating JOCCA as lead transportation agency for purpose of capital equipment requests under UMTA 16(b)(2) on behalf of the participating agencies in the C.A.T. system. JOCCA qualifies as an eligible non-profit private organization. (3) ettablishing an independent Orange County Trans- portation_ ^ ' Board directly responsible to the County Commissioners for managing a coordinated system. A small board initially composed of JOCCA, DvA. , ' -Ol.C8S~_DPC Mental Health Center, private operator and consumer representative, would meet monthly to make independent decisions about important operational matters directly affecting member agencies. The Department on Aging (Director/Secretary)would provide a minimal amount of administrative/clerical support to the Transportation Board for coordination and planning purposes. - - ` . ��� ' - '_ ��� - ' � _ -~_, - _.� ._--__-- --__—� r / � ���� �'`�- ' �'.�� �� ������ ���������• • �.��' - 3 - u 9 ] -� ~ (4) requesting that all vehicles (not just Do8.s) participating in the C.A.T. system be allowed to purchase fuel from the county garage in Hillsborough' This would provide an operational savings on vehicles based tn Northern Orange. Arrangements would need to be made for a fuel site in Southern Orange to serve the system. _ --- As described in the service design, maintenance will be Yn�tfaTlY performed as a dual function - largely through private contracts to be developed by governing board with service being bid on by private or public garages (for both preventative maintenance and major repairs) . When the two DOA vehicles are replaced in 1982, it will be determined whether their maintenance will continue at the county garage or join the remainder of the vehicles under contract maintenance and repair. That will likely be decided by the degree of control the governing board deci to have over vehicles that constitute the fleet. The- issues of vehicle replacement, the types of services to be offered now and in the future, controlling operational costs, transportation. program operation interface and several other issues face the system in this early stage of development. As indicated in the service design for the firs year of system's operations , the vehicle mix existing among participating organizations was not adequate to allow for much more than some timesharing of vehicles on the routes operated by DOA, 8PCHH, JOCCA and OCCHS. Fifty percent (60%) of routes involved double runs and some 80% of vehicles were filled to capacity during client pick-up and drop-off runs . Seventeen out of nineteen vehicles used by the five agencies for route transportation were 12 or 15 passenger vans , greatly limiting ridesharing on the many r ta! _ -. '- - . 564 . - - _ ' � �� � � � �� ` ~ ��«�� � � � • . � �'' = ` !�� - 4 - that involved 15 to 23 clients ' In this second year of operations, members of the system will be making decisions aS to what degree of ridesharing to allow for, and its impact on operating costs and flexibility, as well as upon individual program operating hours and dynamics- If ridesharing is to account for an appreciably higher percentage of serviCe delivered and if operating costs are to begin to be stabilized, significant changes need to begin in this 1982-83 period: If the fleet is to evolve from the 17 vans , 1 bus, 1 mini-bus configuration to a mix that will allow for more ride- sharing, (with mini-buses) more demand response service with vans and _ increased accessibility for the handicapped and elderly clients (with more lift capacity) , changes will need to take place in 1982 and 1083 through vehicle replacement. Thus , of the vehicles to be requested in the spring of 1981 through the fall of 1982 rounds of UMTA 15-b-2 applications, eight will be vans and five will be small buses (four of these lift equipped) and one (1)- 35 passenger bus . The radio equipment of DCCHS now existing would be used to serve demand response trips especially medical appointments. Completely outfitting the fleet with radios early in the evolution of the system may _ - be unnecessary from a need standpoint and impractical from a budgetary standpoint. In the second year of operations , service could possibly be provided on a limited bas-is-(until fleet seating capacity increases) , to individual or client groups of other agencies and departments. This would be true especially for trips between the major service centers in the county, such as Carr Mill , Northside, NCMH in Chapel Hill/Carrboro and the courthouse, Hillsborough Human Service Center and the Cedar Grove School in the northern part of the county. The most likely additional trip needs to be served would be County Health Department and County Social Services client trips to medical services. _ - - - - -_ _ _- ' , . - . • .- ' ` °� ���� ' . _~�� .-- \ ' '~� ��� � ��,��;��!�� ' � ' �� , � � .� `� -'^ .`` ` - 5 - ' ' � � - K�u � . � ���'�� - - These trips would fit into our reOplar routing pattern and clients of full time agencies on the governing board would be given seating priority in their agreement to purchase service. It may also be possible I. to serve some town and county employees in trips between service centers in 1982 or 1983. Budgeting will be the responsibility of—the system's governing transportation board. The coordinator (OnA Director) , depending on the final form the system takes will be the chief link on budgetary and most - - - '--' other matters between the governing board, county manager and commissioners , town governments , and other interested parties. A regular training program should be established by this time for training drivers in defensive driving techniques, first aid, lift equip- ment and in the use of radio equipment. Arrangements can be made with local rescue squads for first aid training, with state police for defensive drYvfn and with county communications for radio use. The governing Transportation board will establish a personnel polil the first two years of operations and will modify it according to the - system's- employee balance of the driver contingent. The board needs to- decide by 1982 or 1983 whether they wish to continue with 108% of drivers hours being provided on an in-kind basis , or if it would be preferable to arrange with member agencies a shifting of funds (through their per trip or per mile operating contract) to allow other agencies to hire some full time drivers . Individual routes may be longer in duration and thus it may be more appropriate to use some personnel in a full time driving role that will not interfere with their agency program duties. Some agencies will be able to arrange with their funding sources to allmx for this and some may have no choice but to continue to provide in-kind driver time. • _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ' ,56� /"'' - b - Due to the changing nature and configuration of the vehicle fleet over the l98l-1 985 period, procedures will be developed by the Transportation Board on a continuous basis to allow for the most appropriate and efficient use of vehicles and their auxiliary equipment. Protocols for matching vehicles to routes will be established, Numbers of types of clients, the nature of the routes involved, and other factors will be considered in the flexible of vehicles to routes . The budget for FY 1982-83 should look approximately like this SYSTEMS REVENUES $ 49,827 DOA $ 52,618 OPCMH $ 14`908 JOCCA $ 58,649 OCCHS � 7,035 Orange County $ '181 `127 Total Expenditures Vehicle Operations $ 41,982 Fuel/Oil � 4,781 Tires $ - 4,817 _ Vehicle Repairs/Maintenance � � O .

This degree of growt is primarily feasible through- ridesharing and cutting back on the double routes through the use of the 22-25 passenger mini-buses which, according to our re- placement schedule, should be coming on line to a significant degree in 1984 and 1985. Operating savings derived from stabilizing or reducing vehicle mileage, fuel use and drivers hours through ridesharing can be translated to ^ an increased ability of the system to better serve previously underserved geographical areas and/or client groups within the county. Thus , savings on one side of the ledger may translate to higher or better levels of service n --_- _-__- -- __- __-_ - - - - 8 - the other' A shift to large bus/mini-bus/van/mix fleet by 1985 is vital if '/ the system is to accomplish desired changes in operations and dynamics . While monthly billing arrangements or ticket systeM for passenger trips delivered appears to be the basic form that revenue collection will take, adjustments may need to be developed after the first few years of operations to allow for significant differences in trip distances or time invulved. The coordinator will need to develop these rates with information gained from operating experience and with the help of the governing Trans- portation boord. Flexibility in rate structure cun. aot as an incentive in the future for agencies to streamline the transportation components of their programs . It appears that the system will continue to need to call upon Orange County to contribute to operating revenues for the system, both in terms of portions of DOA' S payment and their continued support of certain over- head and personnel costs . The county could find a marked increase in its responsibilities if UMTA l6-h-2 funding is curtailed and they are called upon to help fill the gap. Most trips will fit into a fixed or flexible route mode. Demand response service mostly to and from medical service areas will be in effect in 1982—and 1983, but not at significant levels until the fleet has a viable mix in 1984. It would be especially helpful if the system could make better use of its mid-day capacity (10 A.M. to 2 P.M.) through arrangements with membey agencies and smaller agencies that may require service. Coordination must continue with Chapel Hill Transit and private bus and taxi companies operating in the area. Chapel Hill Transit has mentioned in their TOP the possibilities of instituting regular Chapel Hill-Hillsborough service in the 1984-85 period, which could impact some of our ancilliary trips by government workers and clients of small organizations , that might otherwise be served by some of the system's demand responsive service. Basically, the ..� � ^��.�� 565 ~^= � ' ' � �` ��� �� , - • I-)+, - 9 . - • system will continue to encourage other providers to serve our populations and the general public, especially if they can do this at reasonable cost and efficiency levels . Due to the fact that by 1983 the system will be implementing higher levels of ridesharing and cutting back on double routing, operating data involving miles traveled, fuel use, drivers hours and other dynamics should see some significant changes . Thus it is rather difficult to present an accurate operating budget for years three through five of system's opera- . — -- ' — --- tions' For the period FY 1983-84 and FY 1984-85 we will simply indicate our capital budget for equipment replacement and our operating budget will be updated as we develop a clearer vision what our transition service means in terms of impact on our operating budget and revenues. The capital replacement budget which we can predict reasonably well will be $13,273 for FY 1983-84, $1 ,759 in FY 1984-85, and $0 for FY 1985-86' In overview, the system that will exist in 1985 in Orange County for human service transportation will likely look like this: - Consist of 12 vans, 6 mini-buses and 2 full size buses , --- lO being lift equipped. - Deliver 80%-86* fixed and flexible route trips and l5*-20% demand response trips. - Governing Transportation board (Participating agencies and Orange County) and cuordinutor make up the organizational structure, within the format of a formal alliance known as Orange C.A.T. (Coordinated Agency Transportation) . - Use of in-kind drivers, to a large degree. - Funding through monthly payments for trips delivered to agencies and from county contributions . _ - Ridership to include a wide range of human service clients , - . _ _- - - -__ - ' --_ :����� ' �������'�� ������ � ` ''/ `r^�� �- |" " ^ 'r�, • • - |O - u the elderly handicapped and disadvantaged as well as agency and government employees be ' een service centers . Flexibility in the development of the system is essential , since the history of coordinated transportation delivery is so short in this area and so many changes are scheduled to evolve over a relatively brief period. The plans that have been projected here will need to be constantly fine tuned in response to the experience we get from operating --- different types of service and vehicles through different modes- like - - ridesharing (new to the Orange County human service transportation experience). - E 0'1 I > slr ,mss V t.�•T^��G' �.t#tt�i+�\ �.� t L1RflN�C �.fSr�t �� r ,+ a"' 4► Co.'D Cpf 6u A � E�j • a t'C Fttvf,�c,tlaryl{� ►"a a ca(oti YAur,/-B&SC-S s. �ac .ce l~ti3 (ReviSed April 1982) REPLACEMENT SCHEDULE FOR VEHICLES ANO RELATED CAPITAL JU� EQUIPMENT FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY COORDINATED HUMAN SERVICES TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM A.

In the April 1981 UMTA 15(b)(2) grant application, we applied to replace five vehicles, including: DoA/s 1974 Chevrolet and 1976 Dodge vans JOCCA's 1974 Ford bus (48) and 1978 Plymouth van ,�422) OPCXH's 1974 Dodge van (NCLC backup) _ - - 7 z ��_~ ° /"� � ��Uu �� These are to be replaced by four 15-passenger vans and one 25- passenger mini-bus at a capital cost of: $50,000 (4 vans + $12`500) 20,000 (one mini-bus) 37O`OOO 3,500 (5% contingency) $73,500 This is to be divided as follows: Federal grant request 80% of project) $58,800 State contribution lO% of project) 7,350 Local contribution (lO% of project) 7,350 _ _ --- - - $73,500 If the application is approved, we should be receiving these vehicles under state purchase in June or July of 1982.

Thus, in this and in future rounds, we should have some vans replaced 5y mini-buses. OCCHS' three vehicles are now a part of the coordinated system, operating coordinated medical routes (Prospect Hill- Carrboro route) and rural Chapel Hill area and need replacement with one being a backup for the system. The seven vehicles requested in this round should be equipped with lifts, as should several in future applications, to allow for more accessibility by the handicapped and elderly and more flexibility in their use. More lift equipment was felt to be necessary at this time than radio equ1pment. Vehicles used to replace OPCMH 1974 Dodge van COI) would be used as backup for coordinated system and for out-of-county small group trips.

I. The Old4 Americans Act authorizes funding for Titles 111(8) , III(C) and V thrrough 1985. At present, Congress has appropriated funds for these programs through June 30, 1983, at a minimum, and, according to TJCOG, probably through September 30, 1983. A. (B\ Supportive Services and Senior Centers. The rtment on Aging is administering a $54,335 federal grant (total program cost is $81,518 including state and local match) under this program to sqbsidize services provided at senior centers around the county including vehicle operating costs, homemaker services, legal assistance, and—information and referral. Part of the funds are used to cover portions of the salaries of four employees in the Department on Ag1ng, B. Title IlI(C Congregate and Home Delivered Nutrition Services. lhis a $167*673 program which is administered by JOCCA and pro- vides meals for senior centers and home-bound elderly in Orange and Chatham Counties. $13,798 of the budget are Orange County funds. In both Chatham and Orange County space for the nutrition sites are provided in-kind except for the cost pf utilities. Salary cost covers 10.5 positions. C. Tiltle V Community Service Employment for Older Americans. Both J CCA and DOA receive allocations under this program. They do not receive cash but rather an allocation of positions. The workers are paid directly by the federal government. JOCCA uses its 14 positions to assist in the management of nutrition sites and the transport of meals prepared under Title lII(C). DOA uses its 9 positions to drive vans to transport senior citizens to III(C) nutiltion sites, do office work and provide home chore service. Though these are separate programs, the Department on Aging and JOCCA have worked to integrate them to maximize their efficiency; and yet, as we recently saw, a threat to only one of the programs can undermine the viability of the other 7xo programs. Board of Co4issioners -2- st .atus _o.Fsevera.iGrant .,______________--------..mm... = r. September 21 ; 1982 Funded Programs II. Headstart A. JOCCA Administration . The Headstart Program ($344,855) which is being temporarily adminis- tered by Wake Opportunities was not threatened by the Reagan veto and prog- nosis for fading stability is good. _-_. . - - In m � JOCCA was foli.ced to give up the program. They were caught between two con- flicting federal regulations; OMB Circular A-122 permitted JOCCA to charge 39.8% to eac of its programs for management and administrative costs, whereas, the Department of Health and Human Services (the funding agency for Headstar ) would only allow a 15% charge. MultiplYing an indirect cost rate of 39.8$ against JOCCA's total direct personnel costs yields $93,500. Fifteen percent of the total program cost yields only $60,000 leaving JOCCA with a non-reimburseable cost of $33,500. Previously, overhead cost was paid from a grant fliom the Community Services Administration. Under the ; new uuow.wnit' Services Block Grant administered by the State use . of fundsrfor other than direct program costs will not be allowed. B. Wake Opportunities Administration Wake Opportunities is in the process of assuming administration of Headstart.for, the remainder of the program year. It has an indirect rate [30%) that is in excess of the 15% allowed by Health and Human Services - and--] may have problems in sponsorship beyond the end of the year. - ' | '` :. There was a slight delay in the transition due to the need for JOCCA to fully inventory the equipment they purchased with Headstart funds. My office has bden in contact with Mrs. Dorothy Allen, Executive Director of Wake Upportu 'ities to offer any assistance in the transition period. C. project Outreach Assumption of Headstart SponsJirship is still under staff study. III. Emergedcy Assistance Payments The stlApplemental appropriations bill which was passed by Congress over `u veto contained no funds for Emergency Assistance Payments. Funds Mere in the original appropriations bill but did not get included in the final package. In addition, the Regional Department of Social Servicies stated that no funds were requested by the state as both state and county matches were required and no state funds were allocated. It thJ= appears that the $19,500 shown in the FY 82-83 DSS budget for emergency assistance will continue to be 100% county funds. C-::—.,,,, Kenneth R. Thompson KRT:nm
