He further explained that we would need a population of 50,000 to develop our own staff. Mr. Kevin Palmer of the Riverside County Economic Development Agency outlined the objectives and goals of the CDBG and explained the activities eligible for funding, project criteria and submission of views and proposals. The new County regulation stipulating that all requests for CDBG funding be a minimum of $10,000 was questioned. Community Development Director Sapp explained that by combining programs and housing them in the Human Services Center that various projects could be funded. Councilman Winkler questioned the time line requirements for filing the application. Mr. Palmer confirmed that there was only about a week more before the application had to be brought before the County Board of Supervisors, but that amendments can be made to the original application. Councilman Alongi questioned the program and why it could not recognize and potentially fund all non - profit organizations. Mr. Palmer „explained that the organization must meet and the requirements of the CDBG program in order to qualify. Mr. Don Butenshon, representative of HOPE explained his concern in regard to loosing their non - profit status if they fell under the Human Services Center. He further explained that they service the entire valley and not just the City and cannot have restrictions. Mr. Butenshon explained that they did not want any other organization administering their program which has been run by volunteers only up to this point. Mayor Washburn suggested that staff at the Human Services Center already makes referrals to HOPE and possibly by using the staff, they might be able to qualify for the program. City Staff was directed to investigate this possibility. Mayor Washburn adjourned the meeting at 4:45. GARY M. WASHBURN, MA Respectfully submitted, Adria L. Bryning, Deputy City Clerk PAOE OF _
