<br />11/3/83 <br /> <br />Page -4- <br /> <br />a sliding fee on the clients and the majority <br />of these are in the lower income bracket. <br />Fel t thai: everyone was working to the maximum <br />and a year ago took a two weeks furlough <br />without pay because of lack of funds. Stated <br />that they were not sinking, but if Council <br />could honor their request it would be of <br />great help. Their request was for $5,000. <br />Mayor Meier commented it was his understanding <br />that it was a 5-way split between the 3 cities. <br />Mr. Young stated they have a Center in Boulder, <br />Longmont, and therapist in Louisville. <br /> <br />Councilman Leary <br /> <br />Inquried if other cities in the area were <br />contributing to the centers. <br />Mr. Youn<J advised that Boulder, Longmont, and <br />Boulder County does. Lafayette usually does <br />but hadn't done so yet. <br /> <br />Councilman Fauson <br /> <br />Inquired if there was a working agreement with <br />the Mental Health Centers and Clinica Campe- <br />sina. <br />Mr. Young stated there was not a working agree- <br />ment but a cooperation. Also advised that <br />they do have some funding from the State; have <br />a drug program that has been copied from <br />other states and other centers. <br /> <br />Delay Requests <br /> <br />Mayor Meier suggested that the requests for <br />funding be delayed until next council meeting <br />since councilmembers did not have letters <br />from all the organizations. <br /> <br />Councilman Fauson <br /> <br />Commented he would like to have council con- <br />sider funding for Mental Health and Clinica <br />Campesina this evening. <br /> <br />Councilman Leary <br /> <br />Inquired of Mr. Thompson regarding the LDC <br />funding request if in their total budget they <br />had anticipated money from the City for 1984. <br />Mr. Thompson stated that they did anticipate <br />some funding from the City which would be <br />very helpful as there are some immediate con- <br />cerns presently. <br />Councilman Leary commented that it was his <br />understanding that the $25,000 anticipated <br />from the Interchange Agreement would be con- <br />sidered for LDC, in addition to the $200,000 <br />contingency providing it is set aside for <br />downtown development. Therefore felt it would <br />be more feasible for council to make a decision <br />if LDC's entire budget was made available. <br />Mr. Thompson agreed to this. <br />
