Resolution 11-09

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 18 years (1993 – 2010), the City has expended approximately $2 million dollars to local social services programs. In 2011, the City decided to increase the annual amount of funds for this program from $200,000 to $220,000 and to reappropriate $6,525 of unspent funds in 2010 for use in 2011. The resolution allocates the social services funds to 25 agency programs, approves the funding agreements with these agencies, accepts the report of the Committee, authorizes the chair of the Committee to resolve any questions regarding the interpretation of the agreements, and establishes the procedure for the appointment of the two non-Council member persons who fill out this seven member Committee.
