Don Davis, Park and Recreation Commissioner, advised that his presentation was not about art in City buildings, but a fund raising program for the new Red Morton Center. Commissioner Davis described the focus of the program that will involve the community in providing extras for the new Center: grants from philanthropic organizations and individuals; donations that would be recognized by naming a room or facility after the person who donates the funds; selling tiles or bricks; and perhaps in-kind gifts. Commissioner Davis advised that a professional fund raiser might become part of the program. Commissioner Davis thanked the Council for all the support in the past and advised that he will provide more details in the months to come. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At 11: 13 P.M., MIS: GASP ARINI/SANFILIPO TO EXTEND THE MEETING TO 11: 3 0 P.M. CARRIED BY UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. STAFF REPORTS A Discussion and decisions regarding the Human Services Financial Assistance Program, FY 1994-95, continued from Council Study Session of July 7, 1994. (413-03) Fair Oaks Community Center Coordinator Gonzalez asked the Council Members if they had any further questions. After a brief discussion Councilman Greenalch advised he intended to make a series of motions. MIS: GREENALCH/CLAIRE TO FUND ALL FY 1994/95 REQUESTS AT THE FY 1993/94 LEVEL Councilman Greenalch advised that this first motion would restore the recommended cuts of$12,490 for a total of$158,501; did not include any funding for new organizations; and did not include the additional amounts of $30,000 for Shelter Network and $5,000 for La Raza. Councilwoman La Berge stated that the Council had charged the Housing and Human Concerns Committee with hearing requests and making the difficult decisions how to allocate the limited funds and make recommendations to the Council, and this motion would disregard all the Committee's hard work. In response to Council questions, HHCC Chairperson Diane Howard acknowledged that the HHCC was advised by staff what amount of money was available to distribute, and that the recommendations were considered guidelines for the Council. Chairperson Howard asked Council to approve at least one new unduplicated service organization, and advised that the HHCC was planning to review all organizations to see where there were overlaps and duplicated services, not only to help the HHCC but the interested organizations as well.
