criteria allows for only 150 of the total allotment to the
City to be used for social services. He further explained
that there is a stipulation that the money must be allocated
in increments of $10,000. He advised that staff had attempted
to find a way to fund the same organizations funded int he
past by linking the two groups.

at the Human Services Center. Mr. Sapp advised that there

Center at least two times per week.

provided services at the Center. Mr. Sapp indicated that the
County could require that the funds be pulled. Mr. Sapp

working through the City Attorney.

~- Mr. Sapp indicated that the applications are due by March 12th
or the funding will be lost.
,
Councilwoman Cherveny inquired whether the 15% figure could be
a higher dollar amount and allow for a split of the funds.
Mr. Sapp indicated that this was possible,, however the final
figures are unknown at this time.
Councilwoman Cherveny commented that she is in support of
H.O.P.E. because they are a first dollar organization, that
uses each dollar contributed in this community. She stressed
the benefit of their provision of a food bank in the event of
a local emergency such as flooding or an earthquake. She
indicated that she would prefer a study session to discuss
alternatives that would keep the funding in this community.
Mayor Washburn clarified that even with the Human Services
Center, the funds are used in this community. He commented on
the original intent and formation of the Human Services
Center. He suggested that the only funding which might go to
County areas might be through 8enior Home Repair or a domestic
violence situation.

playgrounds and questioned the opportunity to use those funds
elsewhere.

recommendations were appropriate for this year and suggested
