CITY OF JEFFERSON, MISSOURI RAPE AND ABUSE CRISIS SERVICE . vlq AMt�Y R P S DENT ATTEST: V . V CITY CLERK SF RETARY July 129 1984 Mr. Gary Hamburg City Administrator 320 E. McCarty Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 Dear Gary: This letter is to request a grant of $10,000 from the City of Jefferson for the fiscal year 1984-1985. This grant is to be applied to two rennovation projects on the building which houses the Jefferson City Rape and Abuse Crisis Service office and shelter. Q) These two projects ares e 1. Rebuilding the exterior staircase to meet fire and safety standards recommended by Chief Rennick, and to provide adequate access for shelter residents and N staff. a 0 2. Provide security measures throughout the building so o that safety to the building tenants, the RACS staff. , and the shelter residents can be assured. This would •ow ACA include enclosing an interior stair area, constructing new doorways , and adding an emergency alarm system. v w As you know, the building was purchased by RACS in January U Z1984 for $160,000. From contributions made to the Capital Fund Drive, RACS was able to make a down payment of $70,000. The loan of $90,000 is non-amortized and has a 12% interest rate with interest payments due quarterly. Within the last six months we x have been able to decrease the loan amount by $20,000. Pledged M contributions and rental income provide the financial resources cb a for interest payments, maintenance and utility costs. In addi- a: Lion, contributions for furnishings have been made so that major Q) furnishing items are already secured. For example, the Jaycess �., have purchased bed sets. 2onta International is purchasing two hide-a-beds in addition to paying for the privacy fence when it is constructed. J.C. Jill.s have purchased laundry appliances. United Way has donated two desks, two worktables, two desk chairs. Other individuals and groups have donated other types of furniture anal household items. In addition, the general contractor, Jay Prost, has agreed to oversee the rennovations without charge. Sub-contPactors have been contacted and have agreed to provide a variety of services at no cost. We feel fortunate to have this kind of support from the business community. We hope the City of Jefferson will again assist RACS finan- cially: so that we can continue to provide essential services to the residents of this community. RACS averages more than 50 calls per month on the hotline. This includes, on an average, five calls from or on behalf of rape victims, and 20 calls related to abuse. Other calls are classified as information calls, e.g. ter. 6 Gary 1�4�g age 2�r child abuse and incest concerns and referral information. We are gratified to know that cooperative efforts continue between RAGS, the Jefferson City Police Department, Cole County Sheriff's Office, and the Cole County Prosecuting Attorney's Office. It is this kind of integrated approach that enables Jefferson City residents to benefit from the community's resources. Please let me know if you need any additional information. 'I have enclosed copies of the second quarter financial reports for our Shelter. and Operating Accounts. 'thank you for your assistance and your support.
