As requested, we are including copies of our 1983 operating budget and the proposed budget for 1984. In addition, we are including a list of the members of our Task Force and the Board of Directors . I would be willing to respond to any questions you or any City Council member might have with regard to our proposal or our budgetary requirements. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Leila M. Reynolds Executive Director Enclosures (7 pages) cc: Mayor George Hartsfield Members of the Jefferson City Council • JEFFERSON CITY RAPE AND ABUSE CRISIS SERVICE The Jefferson City Rape and Abuse Crisis Service is comprised of a Task Force , a Board of Directors, the volunteer staff, a Coordinator (part-time) and an Executive Director. The Task Force members include law enforcement officials, social workers , representatives from three hospitals, health profession- als and community development people. The Board of Directors is composed of the officers of JCRACS, appointed chairpersons of various committees, three volunteers, and one member from the medical profession, one from the legal profession, and one from law enforcement agencies. JCRACS volunteers are citizens of Jefferson City who have been trained to staff a 24-hour telephone hotline to provide emotional support and referral services to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. The Coordinator schedules the hotline volunteers , arranges for the training of volunteers , handles routine office correspondence, coordinates the resource library, and assists the Executive Director. The Executive Director is directly responsible to the JCRACS Board of Directors. The Director supervises the JCRACS Coordinator, pre- pares the budget and supervises the expenditures . Subject to the Board of Directors ' review and approval, the Director plans the future direction of JCRACS by setting overall goals and objectives, and assumes management of any new project. JCRACS continues to collaborate with county and city law enforce- ment officials, with hospital personnel and with the social service agencies in providing services to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. These services include : 1. A 24-hour telephone hotline for victims of abuse and assault to give initial crisis intervention and appropriate referrals. 2. Temporary shelter for victims and their minor children, in- cluding transportation, food and clothing. 3. Counseling for victims and their families . 4. Advocacy services which include emotional support for the victims in the hospital, the police station, and through pro- secution. A victim advocate coordinates communication between the victim and the various appropriate agencies . 5. Extensive training for JCRACS volunteers . Jefferson City Rape and Absue Crisis Service Page 2 6. Continuing education for volunteers and advocates . 7. Speaker's Bureau for public education and awareness of issues related to sexual assault and domestic violence. 8. A community resource library which includes films and books for loan. JCRACS intends to continue all these services through the next fiscal year. In addition, we anticipate the opening of a per- manent emergency shelter in the fall of 1983, and JCRACS offices will be moved to this facility. Our goal is to expand our ser- vices to include seminars on parenting skills , rape prevention, increasing community support and involvement of JCRACS through expanded publicity, educational workshops , and adding to the community resource library. The 1982-1983 Revenue Sharing Funds allocated to JCRACS have been used as follows: $2,170 - purchase of office equipment , including film ® projector, typewriter and file cabinets. $5,000 - Fees for two trained counselors contracted to work with victims and their families , including the abuser. As of June 1983, 16 clients are benefitting from these services. In November 1982 voters in Cole, Miller and Moniteau Counties approved the collection of additional fees for marriage licenses and divorce decrees which would be applied to an emergency shelter. Application for these funds is pending. Should approval be granted, the estimated income from these fees is $5,800 payable in July and October. On July 19, 1983, JCRACS will initiate a capital funds campaign with a goal of $100 ,000. This fund will be used for the acqui- sition of a permanent emergency shelter. Related expenses will include: purchase of facility, modifications to building to meet criteria for shelter, security system, furnishings , and office furniture and equipment . We anticipate our needs will exceed the goal of $100 ,000 . Jefferson City Rape & Abuse Crisis Service Page 3 Revised 10/26/83 The Jefferson City Rape & Abuse Crisis Service requests the allocation of $10,000 from the Special Events Fund to be used for the following: Capital Improvement Expenses Based on current records of JCRACS, a minimum of 250 persons will be assisted with these funds. This figure does not in- clude the increase we anticipate with the establishment of a shelter in Jefferson City. • JCRACS OPERATING BUDGET Fiscal 1983 INCOME (Estimated and Actual) : United Way $ 79339 Contributions 600 Fees from Government Agencies 4,347 Grants from Government Agencies 7,170 Other Revenue 300 TOTAL INCOME $19,756 EXPENSES (Estimated and Actual) Salaries $ 9,680 Payroll Taxes, etc. 616 Professional Fees 100 Supplies 120 Telephone 780 Postage and Shipping 240 Occupancy 49240 Rental and Maintenance of Equipment 32 Printing and Publications 550 Conference, Conventions, Meetings 300 Specific Assistance to Individuals 300 Membership Dues 25 Miscellaneous 300 New Equipment Acquisition 2,170 TOTAL EXPENSES $19,452 BALANCE $ 304 JCRACS PROPOSED OPERATING BUDGET Fiscal 1984 e INCOME Contributions $ 600 Fees from Government Agencies 5,800 Other 300 United Way 15 ,746 TOTAL INCOME $22,446 EXPENSES Salaries $11,480 Payroll Taxes 657 Professional Fees 150 Supplies 211 Telephone 13,400 .
