administrative funds are used to cover project costs, the General Fund money will need to be used to cover administrative expenses. Ms. Acosta explained that the total public services allocation cannot exceed $46,800. Mr. Tarver indicated he was also a board member for The Center and understands the difficult job it has in funding its programs. He appreciated the value of the youth services programs. If this funding were not allocated here, he would seek to provide funding for the Center in other ways in the budget process. Ms. Mohr indicated Council had crated a fund of $100,000 for youth needs and did not believe this allocation to The Center was necessary from this grant. She did not object to taking $6,500 for Echo from the Housing Fund, however the Human Services Commission is told how much money it has to allocate and now new funds are being created that it has not had a chance to prioritize. She objected to this proposal. Her next priority would be to allocate to the Valley Community Health Center, since funds are already set aside for youth funds. Ms. Dennis believes the Human Services may support this change, but she preferred that it be given a chance to comment. Ms. Acosta indicated that by taking the $5,000 for downtown out of this budget, that $5,000 is now also available for the Human Services Commission to allocate. It was moved by Ms. Mohr to approve the recommendations of the Human Service Commission, except that $6,500 in Line 19 is moved to the Housing Fund, and the matter is referred back to the Human Services Commission for its recommendations on prioritization. The motion died for lack of a second. There was discussion on the final form of the substitute motion. Mr. Bocian indicated that funding from the Housing Fund is allocated in relationship to the services provided to lower-income housing families. Echo currently provides some services not related to lower-income families. Moving the funding on Line 19 from CDBG to the Housing Fund would require the Human Services Commission to reevaluate the services Echo is providing to make sure the total amount qualifies. Mr. Roush restated the motion as follows: Adopt the Human Services recommendations with the exception that (1) $5,000 on Line 4 is deleted and referred to the Human Services Commission for reallocation; (2) $6,500 under the CDBG column for Line 19 is moved to the Housing Fund column; and (3) $6,500 would be moved into the CDBG column for Line 28. 04/04/95 -19-
