the Supervisors showed a deficit of $582.
No funds were allocated to cover purchased services for either mandatory or optional programs.
‘‘Something is very, very wrong in the way Mr. Cox did it (transferred items from the Welfare Department budget forms to the forms used by the county)...It doesn’t allow for enough local money” or purchased services, Mrs. Buntin maintained.
As a result, the Welfare Department will either have to get additional funds from the county or cut back on optional programs, according to the Social Services director. She suggested that a decision be postponed until the October 21 meeting since Welfare Board member Aline Johnson was unable to attend last Friday’s session.
Mrs. Buntin excluded the chance of transferring funds from another Welfare category to cover the deficit.
She noted that there was no extra money in assistance while the general relief (GR) program had problems of its own. GR funds are low and no additional money can be obtained from the state.
“If we run out of money, we’ll have to wipe out the general relief program,” she informed the Board.
“It’s a hard choice,” Mrs. Buntin said. “The Welfare Board will have to decide between asking for more money or eliminating chorecompanion services...It’s just about the only optional service that we have.”
