HHCC members Andrew Byrnes, John Dempsey, Chairperson Charles Greer, Denise Lewis, Bonnie Miller and Nick Watry narrated various portions of the PowerPoint presentation. Elements of the presentation included how the support works, how the money is invested, and the current identified needs such as those at Fair Oaks Community Center. The other areas of support that were explained were seniors, youth, disabled, emergency services/homelessness/housing, and supportive services. Human Services Manager Chin and Chairperson Greer completed the presentation with addressing the non-profit issues, the needs, roles and HHCC recommendation. The recommendation was to support ongoing service needs by increasing by $24,000.00 the general program fund and allotting seed money for unmet needs in the amount of two $50,000.00 grants - one of which would support unmet needs for seniors. Council comments included appreciation of the Committee's attempt to provide focus on a few needs, given the diversity of various needs throughout the community. Council indicated that the HHCC presentation would be a component during the annual priority setting session.
