Ref: Your letter of 7 April
Dear Ms. Spooner:
As requested by referenced letter we are returning herewith
$4,200 that had been released to us as an advance on our IPA Grant.
You state in your letter that the project could not be ini-
tiated by us due to loss of in-kind match, whereas in fact the grant
had to be denied because of constraints of time and a mutual agreement
between all parties that the DVCA would be eligible to conduct the survey.
We understand that grant monies cannot be used to fund the DVCA to con-
duct our survey but we acknowledge that some supplementary funds could
be required in order to provide a total product.
We regret the reduction of funds from the Office of Personnel
Management, with them your department could have continued the much
needed programs that you have provided. In this same vein it is regret-
ful that the Department of Community Affairs is so directly affected by
the action, we have found them to be extremely helpful and productive in
all of our dealings with them - the completeness of the service that they
have provided at our level of government is unattainable from any other
source. We fully support any consideration that can be given to assisting
the DVCA to continue their good work.
Sincerely,
ERNMENTS ~
