IS ANY GREAT DIFFERENCE IN THE CONTROL OF THIS AGENCY AND THAT NHICH EXISTS IN SOME OTHER AGENCIES IN THE U. G. F. NEITHER DOES THE COMMITTEE FEEL THAT ANY DIFFICULTIES OF CONTROL COULD BE IMPROVED BY SHIFTING THE FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COUNTY AND CITY. THE COMMITTEE RESPECTFULLY CALLS ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT THE CHILDRENtS SERVICE CENTER NAS A PART OF THE U. G. F. WHEN IT NAS ENDORSED BY THE GOVERNING BODIES OF THE COUNTY AND CITY AND IF THIS OR OTHER AGENCIES ARE TO BE ELIMINATED THE COUNTY AND CITY SHOULD REEVALUATE THEIR ENDORSEMENT. FINALLY, THE COMMITTEE WOULD NOT OBJECT TO THE ELIMINATION OF THIS AGENCY FROM THE U. G. F. PROVIDED SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME SERVICE WAS PROVIDED BY AND THROUGH THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED~ BURKETT AD RENN0..LOs [SIGNED) ON MOTION BY HR. PONTON, SECONDED BY HR. RENNOLDS, THE FOREGOING REPORT WAS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED; THE FOLLOWING REPORT WAS PRESENTED: DECEMBER 2~ 1964 REPORT RE: JUVENILE DETENTION HOME BOARD OF COUNTY SUPERVISORS ALBEMARLE COUNTY~ VIRGINIA CITY COUNCIL CITY OF CHARLOTTESVtLLE.~ VIRGINIA GENTLEMEN: Your JOINT COMHITTEE TO STUDY THE NEEDS OF A JUVENILE DETENTION HOME FOR THIS AREA SUBMITS THE FOLLOWING REPORT= A THOROUGH STUDY HAS BEEN MADE BY YOUR COMMITTEE AND SEVERAL MEETINGS WITH THE GROUP FROM THE VALLEY HAVE BEEN ATTENDED. WE HAVE CONCLUDED THAT A HOME SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED IN OR NEAR CHARLOTTESVILLE FOR THE USE OF ALBEMARLE, CHARLOTTESVlLLE~ AND ANY OTHER LOCALITIES SURROUNDING THIS AREA WHICH DESIRE TO USE THE FACILITY. WE BELIEVE THAT WITH THIS AREAWS PROdECTED GROWTH~ IT WOULD BE A GREAT MISTAKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A HOME LOCATED ELSEWHERE, UNLESS THE COUNTY AND CITY FEEL THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FINANCE ONE OF THEIR OWN. TRAVEL TIME AND OTHER POSSIBLE COSTS WOULD BE A MAJOR FACTOR FOR CONSIDERATION AND WOULD SOON OFFSET ANY ADDITIONAL INITIAL CAPITAL OUTLAY SAVINGS. WE, THEREFORE, RECOMMEND THAT -THE COUNTY OF ALBEMARLE AND THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE CONSTRUCT A JUVENILE DETENTION HOME IN THIS IMMEDIATE VICINITY AND THAT THE HOME BE MADE AVAILABLE TO OTHER LOCALITIES ON A PER DIEM BASIS IF THEY DESIRE TO USE THE FACILITY. WE SUGGEST THAT THE BUILDING SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO CARE FOR TWENTY PERSONS. WE ESTIMATE THAT SUCH A BUILDING WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY ~150,000.00 AND THAT A SITE OF APPROXIMATELY THREE ACRES WOULD COST AP- PROXIMATELY ~20,000.00. OF THE TOTAL ESTIMATED COST OF ~170~000.00, THE STATE WOULD CONTRIBUTE' ~50,000.00 PLUS .EeUIPMENT. BASED ON THE 1960 CENSUS, INCLUDInG.ANNEXATION ADJUST~ENT~ THE ESTIMATED COSTS TO THE COUNTY AND CITY ~OULD 'BE AS FOLLOWS: ALBEMARLE (POP. 26,583) ~1.987 : ~52,820.00 CHARLOTTESVILLE (POP. 33,813) {~1.987 : ~67~180.00 THE ESTIMATED COST OF SALARIES OF PERSONNEL FOR THE HOME WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY ~50~000o00 PER YEAR. THE STATE WOULD PAY TWO-THIRDS OF THIS AMOUNT (~33~34.00) AND THE LOCALITIES ONE'THIRD (~16~666.00). THE LOCALITIES~. SHARE OF THE MONTHLY EXPENSES WOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN IN THE HOME EACH MONTH FROM EACH LOCALITY ON A PER DIEM BASIS~ WE, THERErORE~ RESPECTFULLY RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNTY AND CITY IMMEDIATELY FILE APPLICATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF WELFARE AND INSTITU- TIONS FOR AN ALLOCATION AND APPROVAL OF A REGIONAL JUVENILE DETENTION HONE TO BE IN THiS IMMEDIATE VICINITY. ~ESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, JAMES E. BOWEN, JR. (SIGNED) ON MOTION BY MR. SCRIBNER, SECONDED BY HR. HAGGERTY, THE FOREGOING REPORT UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED AND THE COMMITTEE WAS REQUESTED TO SELECT A SITE FOR CONSIDERATION.
