Community Center Coordinator Corinne Centeno and Members of the Housing and Human Concerns Committee Diane Howard and Michael Hitchcock presented the recommendations for the Fiscal Year 1992/93 Budget. Ms. Centeno advised their guidelines provided for a maximum increase of 4% for the total budget per Council direction, and that after further discussions the HHCC recommendation for $3,000 to Poplar Center was being withdrawn, resulting in a total budget of $187,291. Discussion ensued regarding Poplar Center's request for $6,559 for programs for the disabled, and HHCC's original recommendation of $3,000. Ms. Centeno described the really painful decision-making process in granting limited resources to as many deserving programs as possible; and, although Poplar Center does great work with young people, the HHCC decided that their same clientele was being served by Kainos right here in Redwood City. Discussion ensued regarding the Kainos request of $4,693 for garden tools, computer, and exercise equipment for La Vista home, and the HHCC recommendation that no money be granted at this time.
