The Mass. Statewide Independent Living Council (SILC), in consultation with the Designated State Units (DSUs), has developed a budget for FY 2002-2004. Following a bid process, the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission (MRC) entered into a contract with Adaptive Environments Center, Inc. (AEC -- a not-for-profit corporation) in October 1997. Under this contract, AEC has provided space and administrative support for the SILC. The initial duration of the contract was two years (through October 1999). The parties exercised two options to renew the contract for one year each, with the current contract due to expire on September 30, 2001. This contract will go to bid again during late summer 2001, with a new contract to be initiated on October
1,2001.
The SILC budget for federal fiscal year 2001 was $120,000. The SILC proposes to continue at least the same level for FY 2002, hoping to add in resources for FY’02 training of ILC’s and additional resources for operating, if available. This may increase the SILC budget up to a maximum of $170,000.

The SILC will determine budgets for FY 2003 and 2004. At this time, it is projected that budgets for these two years will follow roughly the same parameters as the detailed FY 2002 budget above. The budget presented as part of this Resource Plan does not preclude line item changes as determined by the SILC.
In FY 2002, the DSUs, MRC and MCB, will be the sole sources of funding for the SILC. The DSUs will place no conditions or requirements on the SILC that may compromise the independence of the SILC. The SILC is solely responsible for the proper expenditure of funds and the use of resources that it receives under this resource plan. The SILC will, consistent with state law, supervise and evaluate its consultants and other personnel as may be necessary to carry out its functions. While assisting the SILC in carrying out its duties, SILC consultants and any other personnel made available to the SILC by the DSU will not be assigned duties by the DSUs, or any other agency or office of the Commonwealth, that would create a conflict of interest.
