David Nagler, Human Services Commissioner, echoed what has been said and noted the work <br /> has provided a great advantage to allocate dollars in the best way. He agreed that the process <br /> has attempted to address spending dollars in the most cost effective and the most beneficial <br /> way. <br /> Mayor Hosterman closed the public hearing. <br /> Councilmember McGovern said she was appreciative that the dollars did not get reduced and <br /> questioned whether the amount of money could be maintained for next year. Mr. Fialho said the <br /> recommendation the Council adopted was that the General Fund contribution would not <br /> decrease year to year, but would increase as General Fund revenues increased proportionally. <br /> Councilmember McGovern questioned whether the City would reduce funding if CDBG or <br /> HOME reduced their funding for the coming year. Mr. Fialho stated they are fixed for the next <br /> fiscal year. <br /> Councilmember McGovern suggested the needs assessment also look at forming partnerships <br /> with non - profits in the community that might want to take on portions of the need they would be <br /> interested in. She thinks sometimes the large non - profits like Rotary may not know of some of <br /> the needs in the community, and this could bring added funding. <br /> Councilmember Sullivan thanked and encouraged the Commission to continue their discussions <br /> and ideas, and asked to inform the Council of their progress from time to time. <br /> MOTION: It was m/s by Cook - Kallio /Sullivan to approve the Allocation of Housing and Human <br /> Services Grant (HHSG) and Community Grant Program Funds for Fiscal Year 2010 (2010 -11). <br /> Motion passed by the following vote: <br /> Ayes: Councilmembers Cook- Kallio, McGovern, Sullivan, Thorne, Mayor Hosterman <br /> Noes: None <br /> Absent: None <br /> MATTERS INITIATED BY COUNCIL - None <br /> COUNCIL REPORTS <br /> Vice Mayor Thorne reported on his attendance at a meeting of the National Committee on <br /> Economic Development through the National League of Cities held in Riverside. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 9:25 p.m., with a tribute to our <br /> nation's men and women serving in the military.
