Cur 1969 request involves an increase ef £16,200, This itcrease will allow
us to (1) add one (1) professional staff person and ene (1) clerk; (2) it
will also allow for a 5% salary increrent for cur present stuff; and (3) it
wiil cover some minor increases in administrative and operatin, cest of the
Council,

to carry cut the Cvuncil's responsibilities in the 1904
irosram is contingent on whether er noi feueval runds

a2 avaliacle through



tunds for tho 1°68 Youth Opportunity lrocren were ma a
peeial grant fro. hOL. We are uncertain, though hoperul, that these funds

full budget request and decumentation material, will highlight some of this
work, We think that 1969 will Le even more productive if needed operational
aud administrative Funds can Le obtained,

The Mayer and Loard of Aldermen in creating tue Council and establishing it
as a city a,ency, gave*it a most important task tuo pertorm for this ,reat

City. Unfcertunately, the financial resources Lur dein, the total job have
been severely limited.

we hope that the board of Aldermen will be abie to honor our reyucot ior tie
suificient funds which should enable the Council tmcre suequately to serve
the approxinately 200,000 chiiérei and youth of our City.

Turther, the expanded services should bring about a sisguiticant recucticu
in delinquency, child neglect, poor health, nomelessness and non-supervised
recreational activities and conuiticns in our City.

Tae board cf the Youth Council would be wost appreciative of appearing
vefore the Finance Committee or appropriate members thereot when beth our
preliminery as weil as our final Luagets are considereu.

Thenk you azain for your very wonderful cooperation anu interest in tunis
