Chris Hartung FR(,M: Rick Svehla DATE: October 6, 1982 SUBJECT: Approval of Priority Street List for the proposed Street Bond Issue Attached is the original $7,000,000 bond issue that was not passed by the voters in February, 1981. This is the 571000,000 list that the staff recerred to at the Council meeting last night. This was also the list that was given to the Council during the budget hearings In August and September. The updated total for this issue is $8,131,500.00. Although the total bond issue is $8,131,500., staff would still recommend to the Council that these are needed streets and that the City should pursue this whole issue. There are two specific projects that could be reduced in total cost if we get funding from the Highway Department. These two would be on the Locust and Elm projects from Eagle to University. On these two sections, the State has responsibility for maintenance, except for the sections between Sycamore and Parkway. If we could get the State to fund parts of these, the $8,131,500 issue could be reduced. However, we have not approached the State with the possibility of their funding these streets, secondly, even if the State did agree 1 am sure it would take some time for them to find the funds, and thirdly, they would have to feel as we do, that there is significant need to rebuild these streets. In light of this, we would again recommend that the Council approve the entire $8,131,500 issue. If funding is received several years from now for Elm and Locust, the Council could review other alternative projects to replace the Elm and Locust project. If you or the Council have any questions, we would be happy to entertain them at the meeting on October 12 or any time before then. 4Ric;ve;11a,j Ass stant ty Manager CITY OF DENTON MEMORANDUM DATE OF MEETING: October 12, 1982 CITY COUNCIL AGEN PLACED ON AGENDA) Consider approval of the Priority Street List for the proposed Street Bond Issue on December 11, 1982. SUMMARY: , At the Council meeting on October 59 1982, the Council discussed the size and type of bond issue to be proposed for the election on December 11, 1982. They advised the staff to use the $7,000,000 list from the 1981 bond election. That list is attached for the Council's review, Staff would call attention to the fact that the prices for these projects have been rerestimated. We have conservatively estimated that the cost of this bond issue would now be 5891310500.00. FISCAL SUMMARY: If the total package for $8,131,500 was approved by the Council for the bond election on December 11, 1982, the total amount of tax increase would be approximately 12¢. This amount would vary, depending on the interest rate on the bonds. ACTION REQUIRED: Council should approve the bond election on December 11, 1982 for $8,131,500.00. ALTERNATIVES: Reduce or increase the list of streets and the amount of money in the proposal. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff would recommend that the Council try and fund as much as they can in this bond issue. Total street needs in the City are now at approximately 530,000,000. Staff feels that this proposal for $8,131,500 would play a major role in renovating and rejuvenating most of the major thoroughfares and collector streets within the City of Denton. EXHIBITS: 1.

OBJECTIVES AND REEDS page 1 l ~ • froAram Objectives: I. To alleviate the immediate problems of runaway youth during runaway episodes. it. To reunite youth with their families and encourage resolution of intrafamily problems through counseling and service. III. To strengthen family relationships and encourage stable living conditions. IV. To help runaway and troubled youth decide on a future course ? of action. V. To provide a positive living situation in a supportive environment for youth residents. . VI. To assist the resident in developing living skills which will assist e them in functioning more effectively in society. VII. To measure program effectiveness in meeting service objectives. VIII. To modify the program as necessary. i page 2 The experience of the Denton Area Crisis Center Youth Shelter during . the last two and a half years of operation has clearly indicated the need for shelter for runaway and homeless youth in Denton, The Denton Area Crisis Center is one of two rural community shelters in the state and services a large geographic area from its location in Denton, Texas. (Hereafter may be referred to as DACC). The most current data available indicates 5,368 runaways reported in the North Taxes Central Region of sixteen counties in 1979, Denton Probation Department reports 123 runaways for 1980. This is an increase of 76% over the 1977 data. The only other currently operating similiar emergency youth shelter in the region is CASA, located in Dallas, Texas approximately 40 miles south. The residential capacity of CASA is currently 13 and the capacity of the Denton Area Crisis Center is X 13. The Denton Area Crisis Center normally has a residential waiting list of five to twenty, Most agencies dealing with runaways report that they do not call the Crisis Center when they are aware there is already a long waiting list. The statistics below indicate the Denton Area Crisis Center operated at maximum capacity during the year 1980 and could have easily served many more clients if resources had been available. (Exhibit 1)4 1980 NON-RESIDENTIAL SERVICES 274 TELEPHONE COUNSELING CALLS FROH YOUTH 1930 ADULT CALLING REGARDING YOUTH 453 1930 IN PERSON NON-RESIDENTIAL 82 COUNSELING TO YOUTH 1980 RESIDENTIAL SERVICES 132 AVERAGE LENGTH OF STAY 164 days page 3 At present the needs of all runaway and homeless youth in North Central Texas, particularly in the area north of Ft. Worth and Dallas, are clearly not being met by existing agencies and service providers. The Denton Area Crisis Center offers the only available emergency shelter and 24-hour crisis intervention telephone counseling. By cooperation with other agencies the Denton Area Crisis Center helps meet the needs of youth in providing coordination for medical, dental, and psychological testing services. The Center also has developed programs in recreation, living skills, drug information, and public awareness to aid area youth, which are unavailable from other sources. Rural and suburban youth often have very limited access to the services available in urban areas and the Denton Area Crisis Center fills this gap to the extent that resources allov. • • page 4 RESULTS/BENEFITS r It is expected that the Denton Area Crisis Center Youth Services will benefit both the clients served and the community-at-large. In addition to immediate client benefits, such as shelter, food, increased coping skills, increased problem solving abilities and the development of functional behavior patterns, major family crisis situations such as-incidents of family violence and disruption of the family setting, will be less likely to occur in families which have received services. This will result in other social service agencies seeing fewer cases involving these problems. Other youth related problems will also be expected to decrease as the youth client becomes more functional,"Ihey will be less likely to be involved in situations such as truancy, problems in school work, running away, sexual and behavioral acting out, drug and alcohol abuse, and malicious mischief. This will also result in a decrease in these • kinds of problems being handled by area agencies. Due to the preventative aspect of counseling services, it is expected that the younger youth served will have a lower probability of becoming involved with the juvenile justice system at a later date than if they did not receive services. By providing badly needed emergency shelter to youth who would often . otherwise be on the streets or kept in an unsuitable county detention situation, the Center relieves other community agencies of this additional responsibility. The 24 hour counseling service offers the only opportunity for troubled youth and their families to resolve conflicts with the assistance of a trained counselor at a time when all other area resources are unavailable. Benefits to clients and their families are of both the immediate and long term nature to the community at large, which actuall; result in a saving to the jo community of the use of less appropriate resources, and provides the only such emergency services available. page 5 • APPROACH Past Experience In January, 1977, the Denton Area Crisis Center began operation as a part times volunteer manned telephone hotline located in the county hospital, Flow Memorial Hospital. In August, 1977, the Center hired a full time professional staff and began operations on a 24 hour a day, seven days a week basis. The Center also coordinated services with the hospital emergency room in providing counseling to rape victims, suicide attempt victims and victims of family violence. In July, 19789 the Center received funding through the Youth Development Bureau to open an emergency shelter for runaway and homeless youth. The Youth Services Center became operational in December 1978. In August, 1978, the Center received funding from a private corporation to provide • shelter and counseling services for battered wives and their children and opened a shelter in October. This aspect of thQ program became an independant organization in October of 1980 and is now incorporated as Denton County Friends of the Family. The Denton Area Crisis Center now focuses on youth services and continues to operate the 24 hour "hotline". During 1980 there were 274 calls from youth and 453 calls from adults pertaining to youth. (Exhibit 1 During the past two years the youth services program has developed to provide a more effective service to meet the needs of youth in ;forth Texas by expanding facilities, developing recreation and educational aspects of the program, improving linkages with other service providers, and increasing community support and awareness, The implementation of the present program and the approach to meet future goals involves the following procassest page 6 1. Alleviate the immediate problems of runaway youth during the runaway episode. ' • The immediate problems of runaways include: a) temporary shelter, b) contacting legal guardian, c) food, d) medical assistance, a) counseling, f) legal assistance, and g) information and referral. A. Temporary-Shelter--the runaway youth project facility is licensed by the State Department of Public Welfare as a foster group home with variances which will allow it to function as an emergency shelter and meets all state licensing requirements. (Exhibit 2 The facility is operated as a 30 day residential treatment facility with a capacity of ,8. 13, B. Contacting legal guardian. The runaway youth project has counselors on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a weak. Counselors assist youth in contacting their legal guardians using all available resources, such as sheriffs depart- . mental police departments, national hotlines, local agencies, and juvenile authorities. Contact is required within the first 24 hours of the youth's arrival at the facility. C. Food--Provisions are made to provide food of adequate quality and sufficient quality. Nutrition requirements for the Texas Department of Human Resources are met and compliance with these standards are regularly monitored. . The youth residents participate in menu planning and purchasing of food, and prepare the food under supervision. All staff have a working knowledge of proper nutrition and food preparation. Assistance in menu planning is given by North Texas State University. D. Medical_Assistance--all staff members of the Denton Area Crisis Center are required to have completed a basic first aid training course. The Denton Area Crisis Center has agreements and a cooperative working situation with • local physicians and dentists as well as the Texas Women's University Dental Clinic and County Health Department. Private nursea, who are volunteers, provide each resident a physical assessment witN0 48 hours of intake and page 7 discuss health related problems with the residents and their counselors. E. Counseling--counseling at the facility include individual, group, and family counseling, and utilizes an interdisciplinary team approach to incorporate the skills of counselors and consultants into the building of a:: individualized treatment plan for each resident. F. Legal Assistance--all staff members are required to be familiar with the Texas Family Code and any legal developments affecting youth. The Denton Area Crisis Center has a free legal referral source available to residents. The Denton Area Crisis Center also has an existing relationship with local child welfare authorities t )-and the runaway youth project staff may utilize this relationship to aid residents in any legal matter. C. Information and referral--at this time the Denton Area Crisis Center has • the most extensive information and referral system available to Denton County for youth related problems. Resources files are constantly updated, and staff members are required to be familiar with these resources. II. Reuniting youth with their families, and encouraging the resolution of intrafsmily problems through counseling and service. A. Reuniting youth with family. The runaway youth project staff insure contact of the resident's family and encourages the legal guardians of the resident to come to the facility within 36 hours of the resident's arrival. The legal guardian is requ L ed to sign forms indicating permission for the project to provide any necessary services. These forns become part of the resident's case report. The resident's family is included in consideration of possible treatment plans and are encouraged to be involved in counseling sessions. (Exhibit 3). 8. Resolution of intrafamily problems The Denton Area Crisis Center has had extensive exposure to intervention pigs 8 © and resolution of family crisis situations. Staff of the runaway youth facility are trained in family crisis intervention and resolution. Family counseling sessions are considered an integral part of the residential treatment plan when possible, and staff is available 24 hours a day to deal with any family crisis situation. C. Family Counseling. The runaway youth project offers a family in crisis the opportunity to resolve any problems while offering shelter to a family member who has coped with the crisis situation by running away. Working with the family as a unit would not only serve to deal with the current conflict situation, but also could be effective in prevention of future major family crisis situations. D. Non-Residential Counseling. The Denton Area Crisis Canter provides a group counseling program for • D ri.'~ ! divorced parents to help alleviate the grief process and reduce the stress on single parent family situations. The runaway youth project includes a non-residential counseling program for local youth in crisis. This program includes individual and family counseling. The emphasis in-this program is resolving any crisis situation before it becomes intollerable to the youth, resulting in a coping pattern of running away. The Denton Area Crisis Center coordinates with local schools to implement a reintegration program for residnets who are students and has established working relationships with school coLnselors. Ill. Strengthening family relationships and encourage stable livid conditions. The Denton Area Crisis Center is currently involved in strengthening family relationships and encouraging stable living conditions when handling cases • of family crisis. The family commitment to participate in counseling is and will be encouraged and, in a sense is necessary in order to successfully page 9 resolve the family crisis situation. The staff of the runaway youth project is expected to make full use of all the available resources to resolve family problems, restructure disfunctional family behaviors, imd teach communication skills in order to create a stronger and more effective family unit. In the event that the family setting would not be the most appropriate living situation for the youth, alternative living arrangements are sought. Available resources are considered and the youth and counselors work together with placement agencies to arrange the most suitable place- sent. Counseling sessions are arranged focusing on the youth in the new living condition. Members of the alternative living situation are encouraged to participate in the counseling sessions with the youth, as well as the case • worker and/or the probation officers when appropriate, in order to make the transition as smooth and stress free as possible. When possible, follow-up counseling is available to deal with problems which may arise in the alternative living situations. IV, Helping runaway. youth decide on a future course of _action, The current practice of the Denton Area Cilsis '.enter is to aid clients in determining for themselves waat course of action they are going to use to resolve their problems, This philosophy of self-determination and self-responsibility is used in the management of the runaway youth project. Residents are viewed as having the ability and right to make their own decisions concerning their present situation and their future. Counseling sessions emphasize residents becoming aware of their abilities, their behavior and their desires and will aid residents in becoming effective in the areas of realistic goal setting, obtainment of desired goals and problem solving. Residents are encouraged to explore their own strengths and weaknesses, and to develop their own resource abilities, page 10 • V. To provide a positive living situation in a supportive environment for the youth resident. The Denton Area Crisis Center Youth Shelter seeks to provide a home-like supportive atmosphere, as opposed to a more institutional and impersonal situation. Staff members are encouraged to use positive reinforcement and a caring attitude toward residents while maintaining adequate structure to meet program goals and enforce house rules and policies. During the past two years, the Denton Area Crisis Center has developed a recreation program with the cooperation of many community agencies and businesses. Youth residents are encouraged to participate in a variety of recreational. experiences and volunt!~ers provide such support programs as music therapy. r • Denton Area Crisis Center Activities Program The Denton Area Crisis Center began an activities program in July of 1980 in hopes that through participation in a variety of activities and through working together the residents would further develop their skills and enjoy living together more. If residents enjoy their environment and the people they live with, it will encourage them to cooperate during residency. keeping youth clients invol•,red with act,.vicies will help to keep them healthy in both body and mind and distract them from an inappropriate behaviors they may have been previously involved in. In July of 1980 our program consisted of free passes to go to the following activities: Five movie theatres Civic Center Pool Roller--Skating Minature Golf Northlake Recreation Center Sandy Take Amusement Park (cont.) page lI Texas Rangers Baseball Games Denton Basketball (Little League) Texas Women's University Gymnasium (equipment and weight room) TWU Music Therapy Denton Public Library month 32 .(cDonalds Coupons per Since that time we have added: Movie Review Program • Living Skills Program Dania Recreation Center Golden Triangle Mall T& S Swimming Pool (Indoor) Bowling Volunteers generally provide transportation and additional supervision for activities. In addition to these activities youth attend special events such as major league baseball, concerts, plays, community functions, and participate in local parks and recreation programs. The Denton Area Crisis Center plans • to have overnight camping trips made a regular part of the activity schedule this spring and summer. Activities are constantly being added. Volunteers serve a major function in this program. one such activity is a structured operation with Texas Women's University. program developed in co music therapy VI.

The executive director is an experienced certified teacher and several • volunteers are currently teaching in area schools. The following outline gives the basic concept of the educational program whicfi is in process of implementation. page 12 • EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM I. Living Skills. The "Adventure of Harvey Crumbaker, Skills for Living unit 1: Filling out Forms and Applications" (Exhibit 19) deals with topics such as: 1. Finding a job. 2. Finding a place to live. 3. Applying for a Social Security Number. 4. Understanding a paycheck stub. 56 Applying for a credit card. 6. Getting a driver's license. 7. other forms and applications. 11. Working in cooperation with the Adult Education Program at the Emily Fowler • Public Library, giving GED pre-tests to appropriate residents and helping them study toward the GED test. 111. Cooperation with the Pupil Appraisal Center at Noxth Texas State University. This facility does extensive testing for learning disabilities, but worl< with a very limited number of students and prefer to do this for only those students who will be placed back in an academic setting where follow-up _ recommendations may be carried out. i PaSt 13 . COUNSELING The runaway youth project does offer a vide variety of counseling services including: individual, groups and family counseling. A. Individual Residents meet with a team counselor at least once a day to discuss problems and available options. This may be in a formal or inforaal setting. Contract agreements may be arranged between a resident and his/her team counselors to insure the resident's active participation in determining and completing a suitable treatment plan. Individual counseling is made available to ex-residents and non-residents. B. Group two Group counseling sessions are held at least tae times a week. Group . sessions focus on problems arising from the group living situation of the facility, which approximates a family living situation. Residents are able to utilize the group counseling sessions to explore their feelings, behavior, and to practice establishing and maintaining effective inter- personal relationships. Group counseling sessions also focus on teaching and practicing effective communication skills. Seperate group counseling sessions for female and male residents focusing on the special problems of the maturing adolescents are held as appropriate. Group counseling is available to ex-residents, parents of residents, and families. Although house meetings act primarily as a means of house management, they also offer the opportunity for interaction similiar to that fottind in the group counseling session. i page 14 • c. Family Counseling The runaway youth project offers a family in crisis the opportunity to resolve any problems while offering shelter to a family member who has coped with the crisis situation by running array. Working with the family as a unit not only serves to deal with the current conflict situation, but is also effective in prevention of future major family crisis situations. page 15 ASSURING THE SAFE RETURN OF YOUTH AND LONG MM LIVING AMWGLMMS When a youth is admitted to the runaway youth project facility, her/ his desires concerning long term living arrangements are discussed in counseling. When returning home is considered by the youth, the parents, and the project counselors to be in the youth's best interest, a family counseling process allows all concerned to discuss and explore this decision. Family counseling also allows discussion between the parents and the youth concerning alternative living arrangements. When alternative living arrangements are considered, the parent, as legal guardian, will be involved in any agency placement. In the event that the legal guardian of the youth is an agency, the counselors will work with the agency and the • youth in exploring and discussing possible long term living arrangements. When the parents of the youth refuse to cooperate with the project staff and returning home is clearly not in the youth's best interest, the Child Welfare Office will be notified of the situation. The procedures in the Texas Family Code for Child Welfare to intervene in situations such as this will be followed. The policy of the runaway youth project, regarding the rights of the youth, will be followed when any long term living arrangements are considered. A major goal in counseling will be to allow all concerned to be active in decisions regarding the youth's best interests. When a decision is made to discharge a youth from the runaway youth project facility, the parents, legal guardian and/or appropriate agency are contacted regarding this decision. Counseling sessions discussing this decision and future • living arrangements are held and arrangements for transportation made. page 16 S The parent, legal guardian or appropriate agency representative, to whom the youth is discharged, are asked to sign a discharge authorization form. The primary counselor notes the details and circumstances regarding the youth's discharge in his/her file. (Exhibit 3). page 17 . AFTERCARE SERVICES When the youth's status in the runaway youth project changes from resident to ex-resident, all counseling services available to the youth as a resident remain available to him/her as a non-resident. When the youth leaves the shelter of the project she/he is advised of all available services. The resident's treatment plan includes recommendations for aftercare services such as extended family counseling or referrals to other agencies. participation in recommended aftercare programs are encouraged. In the case of a resident being referred to another facility, the project staff cooperates with that facility in any way to insure that the youth's best interests are served. A follow-up on each ex-resident's progress is done within two weeks, • one month and three months intervals following termination. Follow-up is done according to a set procedure and the data gathered is used to evaluate project effectiveness. A questionaire using a continuum scale has been developed to measure the "success" of placements for former residents and the results of this measurement are collected and used as a part of the Denton Area Crisis Center evaluation process. page 18 LICENSING Currently the Denton Area Crisis Center is licensed by the Texas Department of Human Resources for operation as a foster group with variances which alloy it to operate as an emergency shelter. Capacity is limited to UghL. Procedures for renewal of the biannual license which expires in July are now underway. The Center has current fire and health inspections from the city of Denton. No other license procedures are necessary. (Exhibit 2). • EVALUATION page 19 i The Denton Area Crisis Center utilizes the Y.D.B. Program Performance Standards as a guideline and checklist for case management and program operations. Occassionally comparing a completed/terminated case against the Standards helps to point out areas in which existing policies are not adequate. Using the Standards as a guideline when doing program evaluation and assessment, gives the Center a basic set of references from which to work. The information gathered from these processes is utilized in staff training, policy revision and program modification. Both the Texas Department of Human Resources and the Texas Youth Council monitor the Denton Area Crisis Center operations on a regular basis. Denton Area Crisis Center uses these reports as well as input from case workers and probation officers as an evaluation and program assessment tool, The Denton Area Crisis Center staff meets in a "workshop", setting several times yearly to review and revise the goals, objectives, and program implementation using all available data,and input from the Board of Directors, Volunteers, Practicum Students, and youth clients. At least one of these evaluations is Implementated by an outside consultant. page 20 FUTURE GOALS An DIRECTIONS • In terms of Youth Services, the greatest community need that the Denton Area Crisis Center can provide is expanded residential and non- residential services. Due to its proximity to the Dallas/Ft. Worth "metroplex", Denton is rapidly becoming more urban in nature. Several large industrial companies are now in the process of locating new facilities in and near Denton. The human services aspects of the local infastructure is inadequate torneet the growing needs that will be generated by this sudden growth. There is an immense need for expanded services. Denton Area Crisis Center has been able to increase the number of clients, particularly non- residential clients during the first two years of operation. Future plans call for: omit, I. A larger and more suitable physical facility which would allow expansion I to serve more clients. This has been a goal of the Denton Area Crisis V Center for the past year and at this point the agency has accomplished the following: 1. The Board of Directors has made the procurement of a more suitable locality its primary goal. 2. A facility which would be more suitable has been located, is in excellent condition, 0and would allow expansion to a capacity of thirteen, has been located two blocks from the present shelter location. The Board and staff of the Denton Area Crisis Center will actively seek funding to purchase this facility. i 3. A local builder and real estate developer has developed plans for s i 13 capacity facility to be built for the Denton Area Crisis Center, page 21 and has a suitable lot to build this facility on. He is currently seeking an Investor who will be willing to build the facility for investment purposes, taking advantage of the tax benefit to be gained by leasing it to the Denton Area Crisis Center. The facility is so designed that it can be easily converted into a duplex, should it not be used as an agency facility. In the immediate future the present facility will undergo a partial renovation including mew carpeting and paint which has been donated. The new office at the courthouse on the city square locates the administrative office of the Denton Area Crisis Center in the same building as most of the other human service providers (across the hall from Child Welfare) and . facilitates networking with other agencies. Some changes in the physical arrangement of this office are planned, so that it may be more effectively used for staff training, counseling, and possible intake. This will allow V for more useable room in the shelter facility. II. Expansion of activities program. It has been the experience of the staff at the Denton Area Crisis Center that a strong activities program is especially useful in providing a positive living experience for youth residents. We have initiated an activities program with recreation and educational aspects which will be developed to provide a full schedule of planned activities every day and evening for each weekday and Saturday.

Last spring five staff members attended a three day regional workshop sponsored by Southwest Network of Youth Services and at least five members will attend this year. page 25 VOLUNTEERS In addition to the utilization of ex-residents and board members as volunteers, the runaway youth project draws on available community resources to supplement its full time staff. These include: Work-Study and Practicum Students „ Both North Texas State University and Texas Women's University have work study programs. The Denton Area Crisis Center has made use of these programs in the past and will continue to utilize them in the runaway youth program. The wide variety of degree programs available at the universities insures that work study students could be used in all aspects of the operation. Present contracts allow for a maximum of 20 work study students from NTSU and 20 from TWU. Eleven are currently employed, and future plans call for more extensive use of these part time employees to provide more services. Both NTSU and TWU have programs which require students to "practice" their work while receiving supervision under instruction. The runaway youth project utilizes these students as volunteers in a reciprocal arrangement, providing the students with a training ground while having the benefit of the student's contriVution.to the program . The Denton Area Crisis Center has an existing relationship with both universities regarding practicum students. Program areas of particular interest which the runaway youth program utilizes include; nursing, nutrition, psychology, counseling, education, and recreation. Graduate practicum students with undergraduate degrees in appropriate areas and in some cases previous experience as counselors are utilized as family counselors or co-counselors in sore instances. i 1 page 26 . students In addition to the practicum and work study students, the runaway youth project utilizes students from universities and the local high schools as volunteers. Other Community Volunteers The Denton Area Crisis Center maintains contract With over 100 individuals in the community who act as consultants and advisors, to the Center and its clients and in many cases are active volunteers. These include; university professors in such areas as psychology, counseling, and social service, medical personnel including physicians, physical therapists, nurses and interns, and others such as attorneys, and business and financial advisors. These individuals are available to assist the Center in providing a better service to its clients and by offering professional advice and recommendations. Their services are used, when appropriate, by staff and residents of the runaway youth project.

By caring for these children, parents are allowed to work instead of receive welfare benefits.

Day care centers appear to be abandoned by the federal government in the new federalism act.

You will notice that to date we have invoiced $3,411.86, or $411.86 more than the estimated cost for Phase I of $3,000.00 as specified in our agreement. We have conducted some preliminary analysis and evaluation of alternatives Which would ordinarily be conducted as part of the permit application process. Because of these additional analyses, we have exceeded our initial Phase I estimated cost. The additional work included an analysis of several methods of leachate and groundwater control, leading to the selection of clay lined side walls and slurry wall construction for further analysis. We feel that this activity was necessary to provide a clearer understanding of the potential de- velopment costs which may occur for the landfill. We appreciated the opportunity to conduct this site analysis for you. We look forward to beginning the permitting process upon your authorization. Sincerely, H£/NNINGGSON, DURHAM b RICHARDSOM, INC.
