STAFF OR/G/NA TOR Marty Asieson DATE December 6, 1995 TOPIC Consideration in extending the 1994-1995 Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) for the Adaptive -Integrated Therapeutic Recreation Program The City appropriated $4,700.00 of the 1994-1995 CDBG dollars to the Adaptive- Integrated Therapeutic Recreation Program. These dollars were to be spent between July 1, 1994, and June 30, 1965. In June, 1995, I asked the City Council to approve an extension of the funding to December 31, 1995, in anticipation of hiring a person to continue in the establishment of the Adaptive Integrated Therapeutic Recreation Program. The December 31, 1995, deadline is now approaching and I have estimated that the Adaptive -integrated Therapeutic Recreation Program will have a balance of $ 1,000.00 remaining at year end. The County has been contacted on this issue. They informed the City that in early January, 1996, they will be sending out letters to cities informing cities that any remaining 1994-1995 balance will be redistributed to the county -wide -rehab fund. The County requires that if an extention is needed that the City should send a letter requesting an extension of funds into 1996. The request far the extension will be considered by the County Board in January, 1996. It is possible that the Board can deny the extension. 1. Request an extension of remaining 1994-1995 CDBG dollars to April 15, 1996, for the continuation of the Adaptive -Integrated Therapeutic Recreation program with the understanding that the County Board can deny the extension. Deny this request.
