(Continued from Page 1) for purchased services is down substantially in the proposed 1979-80 budget, the amount alloted for assistances—$56,312—is up by almost 20 per cent over the $47,403 in the current budget. The biggest increase comes in aid to dependent children-foster care payments with a jump from $7,970 to $18,600. However, no local money is spent in this category. Mrs. Buntin said that the proposed amount also reflects costs of institutional care for one child.
She noted that the $80,040 total cost of aid to dependent children is not shown in the proposed budget since all ADC money is either state or federal.
Mrs. Buntin allowed $2,400 in state and federal funds and $300 in local funds for manual checks to ADC clients who need money right away or whose regular checks have been lost. She emphasized that all local money spent in this category is reimbursed. The allocation for state and local matching payments to the aged is down from $9,274 in 1978-79 to $6,178 in the proposed budget. Mrs. Buntin said she allowed f^r three clients in this category with an average monthly payment of $171.60 per client.
