i02 Request re: Region X Community Mental Health and Retardation Services Board appropriation - $12,712 for purchase of house on 16th Street N. E. Staff Report re: 1975-76 Community Development Revenue Sharing Program Board Coordinator, Region X Comnlunity Mental Health and Retardation Services Board, stating that the Board is returning to the City $18,722.86 which represents the City's share of the accumulated local surplus funds as of June 30, 1975. Mr. Peterson also requested permission to use part of this surplus for acquisition of a two story brick building at 503 16th Street, N.E. for use by the Region X Community Mental Health and .Retardation Services. He stated that the lack of space allocated to the After Care activities which serve Charlottesville and Albemarle residents is intolerable and acturally retarding patient progress. He stated that the proposed new facility would house the Blue Ridge and Region X Board Administrations thus doubling the amounts of therapy and activities spaces in the Ackley Lane facility for After Care use. The new building would also house five outpatient service therapists so that they would no longer have to double up on office space. He stated that the purchase price of the new facility would be $55,000, of which $30,000 is proposed to be paid at settlement and a first deed of trust for $25,000 to be secured from a local institution. He stated that the City's share of the $30,000 would be $12,712 and requested an appropriation of this amount.
