1. Discuss the possibility of using reprogrammed funds from Housing &
Neighborhood Development Department to restore Senior Citizens
Nutritional Programs that were eliminated due to budget cuts. (Requested
by Commissioner Hankerson)
Mr. Hankerson expressed his concerns about eliminating the Senior Citizens
Nutritional Program through budget cuts.
I
Ms. White: If we put anything into CDBG Public Services at this point, we will
probably exceed our cap.
Mr. Beck: In our discussions with Ms. Riner they have indicated that even with
the $85,000 cut they would still be able to continue the program on a four-day a week
basis. I'm not sure if that included cutting out the homebound portion or not.
Mr. Mays: Perhaps there is some way that this could come through HND by way
ofUDAG funds.
After further discussion, Mr, Kuhlke: I think the Administrator understands that
this may be an alternative to look into and bring back to us within the 30-day period as to
using some funding from Housing & Neighborhood Development in some form to help
continue this program.
Mr. Cheek: A motion that we receive this as information.
Mr. Kuhlke: I'll second it.
Mr. Kolb: We'll bring it back to you within thirty days.
I
Mr. Hankerson: I'd like to put in a motion that it come on the agenda for next
Conimission meeting.
nwrn
Mr. Cheek: I'll second that.
I
(Vote on substitute motion)
Motion fails with Mr. Kuhlke voting No.
