Resolution 08-08

This resolution brings forward the recommendations of the Jack Hopkins Social Services Funding Program Committee. The principal task of the Committee is to recommend funding for local social services agencies which offer proposals consistent with program criteria. Over the last 15 years (1993 – 2007), the City has expended in excess of $1.3 million dollars to local social services programs. In 2008, the City decided to increase the annual amount of funds for this program from $145,000 to $165,000 and to reappropriate an additional $11,000 of unspent funds from 2007 to bring the total allocation this year to $176,000. The resolution allocates the social services funds to 16 agency programs, approves the funding agreements with these agencies, accepts the report of the Committee, and authorizes the chair of the Committee to resolve any questions regarding the interpretation of the agreements.
