PUBLIC HEARING MAYOR JACKSON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER MATTER OF AMENDING THE 1986 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM It was noted that the hearing had been duly publicized as required by law Two (2) written communications from Martin Luther King Center (carpeting) and LaClinica (expansion) were received and noted in the record Mr. Dave McDonald, Director of Community Development, stated that on January 24, 1986, the City received an entitlement of $250,040 from HUD to operate the City's 1986 Block Grant Program The entitlement was somewhat less than anticipated because of the Reagan Administration deferral and other deficit control measures. In June, Congress overrode the Administrative deferral - making way for the release of additional Block Grant funds As a result of the deferral override and other actions, the City will now be receiving an additional $53,960 for the 1986 program year HUD has requested that the City hold another public hearing to consider possible uses of the additional funds prior to the end of the Federal fiscal year We are only required to hold a hearing on $52,000 HUD has already released $1,960 of the $53,960. Mr. Rich Beck, representing Benton-Franklin Council on Aging, requested $3,500 as Pasco's portion to purchase a badly needed van to deliver hot meals to elderly shut-ins. He reiterated he was also requesting funds from Kennewick and Richland for the same purpose. Councilman Hendler asked if he had requested funds from United Way and the reply was affirmative. Councilman Snider supported merits of "Meals on Wheels" as a worthwhile project and encouraged Mr Beck to get his request in at beginning of the budget year for grant funds. MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 2, 1986 PUBLIC HEARING - Continued Mr. Guillermo Castaneda, spokesman for LaClinica, requested consideration of $34,966 so that they might enlarge their present clinic to care for more low income families. He cited family statistics which had been assisted through their medical/dental clinic, and urged consideration of their request as they have outgrown present facility as it exists now. Ms. Darlene Morris, Community Action Committee, stated their organization was III requesting $20,000 for installation of roofs for low income families. Admittedly, they favored grant type allocation rather than loan because older people are reluctant to placing a lien on their property Concensus was that 3% was minimal interest to pay in order to rehabilitate/winterize one's home and this instilled "pride in ownership" Following three (3) calls from Mayor Jackson for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was declared closed. Mr Snider moved to amend the 1986 Community Development Block Grant Program by reducing the Capital Improvement Program allocation by $5,000, the Revolving Loan Fund by $20,000, and increasing the Farmer's Market allocation by $20,000; Program Management by $2,000, and by allocating $52,000 for Neighborhood Street Improvements.
