(SR97:99) Steven Bocian presented the staff report. Mr. Pico asked staff to address the projects not recommended for approval, mainly the operating type projects. Mr. Bocian said in addition to the Block Grant Program, the City Council had set up a program allowing local service agencies to make requests for funding of services. As a result, considering the limitations on the block grant funding, the agencies that did not receive a recommendation for the block grant fund would be able to jointly apply for the City's program. That process was currently underway. The City's expectations was that the projects which were on the public service side would in fact get approved through the City' s program. Mr. Pico asked what the deadline was for those applications? Mr. Bocian said the deadline had past. Ms. Michelotti asked for the dollar amount? Ms. Bengtson commented the amount of funds available included a $45,000 balance from the youth funds set aside by Council two years ago. In June of last year Council set aside $200,000 that was to be used as recommended by the Human Services Commission for various projects. The Human Services Commission would be looking at all the applications. Many of the agencies applied. The decision would be heard at the Human Services Commission meeting on April 2, 1997.
