COLORADO Shani Eastin Weld County Planning Department 1400 North 17 Avenue Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Ms. Eastin: RE: Applicant Case Number USR-1150 May 20, 1997 DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES P.O. BOX A GREELEY, COLORADO 80632 Administration and Public Assistance (970) 352-1551 Child Support (970) 352-6933 Protective and Youth Services (970) 352-1923 Food Stamps (970) 356-3850 Fax (970) 353-5215 MAY 2 8 1997 In response to Kenneth Littlefield and Jay Littlefield (Children's Ark), I am submitting the following comments generated by the Weld County Department of Social Services Child Welfare Supervisory staff; and those of the Weld County Placement Alternatives Commission: • Jay Littlefield (applicant) is recognized as a successful child care provider and operator of the Children's ARC RCCF in Sterling and in Green Mountain Falls. • The capacity of eight residents is preferable for a small RCCF. • The program administration would be handled by the ARC in Sterling, Colorado. • How will special education needs be met? • Concerns about two "double -wide modulars" being used to house the residents; • damage, • safety concerns, • and youth not caring for the property. Is a permanent structure planned? • Supervision of residents needs to be located in each of the proposed residences. • Medical response time is a concern due to the isolation of the facility. 971848 EXHIBIT Ct USO_ -t1 So Page 2 SHANI EASTIN/Applicant/Case No. USR-1150 • Isolation of facility could also be a strength since it may deter run away behavior and there would be less neighbors to disturb. • Concerns about educational benefits and options available to the youth in residence at the facility; • Due to psycho/social behaviors expected of residents, is the school able to offer needed services? • Will expected behavioral problems of students be accepted by the community? • Weld County Social Services would likely use this facility if it becomes operational, but would not expect more than four to five Weld youth in placement. If you have additional questions, please contact me at 970.352.1551, extension 6200, or David Aldridge at 970.356.4000, extension 4410.
