Revenue-sharing . . .
From page one
$-50,000 for construction of Haskell Loop. It will run through East Lawrence and connect the downtown area with the proposed U.S. 99-by-seast of Lawrence.
-$823,000 for construction of the city maintenance garage at 12th and Haskell Ave. The building will house offices and a library and be expected to be completed by October 1976.
-$10,000 for expansion of Lawrence
building; includes building major additions to new widen-
possibly tearing down old wings of the
hospital. It is expected to be completed by
OF THE REVENUE-sharing funds that Lawrence has already received for six entitlement periods, about $452,000, or 20 per cent, has gone to people programs.
Lawrence has limited the funding of people programs because they generally require yearly, on-going costs, Wildgen said.
"It was uncertain whether revenu-sharing would be continued after 1976, so most of the funds have gone to one-time donors. If you don't commit us for a long term," he said.
"There was also a great need for renovating some of the buildings," Wildgen said. "The Community Building was badly in need of renovation."
The city allots revenue-sharing funds to local groups that have shown they provide a valuable service to the community, either through an individual or by filling some other kind of need, he said.
MOST LOCAL service groups receive allocations from both Lawrence and Douglas County revenue-sharing funds, Wildign said.
Some of the groups that received fiscal 1976 revenue-sharing funds from the city were Legal Aid Society ($4,000); Conference Center ($2,500); Community Center ($2,500); Penn House ($2,500); Lawrence Public Library ($15,000); Lawrence-Dowglas County Health Department ($28,846); Council on Environment ($3,940); and Boy's Club of Lawrence ($3,000).
Most of those groups are applying for funds for 1977.
LEGAL AID provides services for people who can't afford lawyers.
Deanell Tacha, faculty adviser for the Legal aid Society, 846% Indiana, said the center would request about half of what it had for 176, or $1,500.
Legal Aid used revenue-sharing funds to pay for supplies, a secretary's salary and rent, she said. The center received $2,000 from United Fund for fiscal 1976, but that money can't be used for salaries or maintenance costs, she said.
Tacha said that although she thought Congress would renew the revenue sharing program, she was apprehensive about guidelines it might include.
"THE BILLS that are now pending put all kinds of strings on the money."
Judy Kroeger, director of the Consumer Affairs Association (CAA) in the Kansas Union, said she had been asked by the city manager's office to submit both a minimum- and maximum-need budget request.
"Everything is up in the air right now," she said, "but I'm considering asking for money to hire another person and for new equipment."
Most of the revenue-sharing funds CAA received for 1976 were used to give Carol Strobbel, former CAA director, a pay raise, Kroeger said.
CAA is also funded by the Student
CNA and through private fund drives, she
said.
"THE SENATE was hesitant about funding this year," Kroeger said. "We're trying to get the city to take a larger portion, so we're thinking of moving downtown and cutting back the University office of part-time."
Betty Dutton, outreach worker for Ballard Community Center, 708 Elm, said that although the center may not receive as much as it requests in revenue-sharing funds, it would continue to operate because of money given through donations.
Dutton said revenue-sharing funds were used only to provide emergency assistance to local residents. That aid includes utilities, gas and paying utility bills, she said.
Ballard received requests for emergency assistance from 471 families in 1973 Dutton
The funds are used only to buy emergency food and medicine for people who can't afford them otherwise, she said. Penn was one of the top 100 requests for medicine in 1975, she said.
OCOE MILLER, secretary of Penn House, 1035 Pennsylvania, said the center had requested $2,500 in revenue-sharing funds for 1977.
Penn House received $6,000 a year from United Fund, in addition to money from private donations that is used for general overhead costs, Miller said.
Wayne Mayo, director of Lorene Public Library, 707 Vermont, said he had requested $15,000 in revenue-sharing funds, to be used to buy books for the library.
Kay Kent, director of the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department, 701 New Hampshire, said that she would apply for revenue-sharing allocations but that she didn't know how much the request would be. Funds are used to pay for two nurses' salaries, one program worker's salary and rent, she said.
