AUTHORIZING THE ALLOCATION OF THE JACK HOPKINS SOCIAL SERVICES PROGRAM FUNDS FOR THE YEAR 2015 AND OTHER RELATED MATTERS

This resolution brings forward the recommendations of the Jack Hopkins Social Services Funding Program Committee for 2015. The principal task of the Committee is to recommend funding for local social services agencies which offer proposals consistent with program criteria. Each year, the Mayor and City Council have increased funding for the Jack Hopkins initiative. Indeed, since 1993, the Jack Hopkins Committee has granted approximately $3.41 million to social service agencies who serve our community’s most vulnerable residents. Notably, since 2004, Mayor Kruzan and the City Council have more than doubled funding for the Jack Hopkins program. In 2015, the program was increased to $270,000. This resolution allocates the social services funds to 18 agency programs (including two collaborative projects), 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 also authorizes the chair of each year’s Committee to appoint the Committee’s representatives from other City entities.
