<br /> Councilwoman La Berge said she recalled that the Council did make an overture to <br /> Shelter Network to help Redwood City and said she felt a certain commitment to help <br /> them with their funding. However, with such finite resources, she believed it would <br /> not be wise to make commitments for on-going funding, and funding one year at a <br /> time was a more prudent course. <br /> Councilwoman Buchan said she also was on the Council when Shelter Network was <br /> asked to operate Family Shelter and it was painful to have to limit financial support <br /> and see the CDBG pie shrink every year. Councilwoman Buchan also expressed <br /> concerns regarding on-going funding, and said subsequent Councils are not bound by <br /> past Council recommendations when circumstances change. Councilwoman Buchan <br /> said the HHCC recommendations should be approved and the Council should continue <br /> discussions on how to find the extra funding to meet Shelter Network's needs. <br /> a.
