What this is about is a very small amount of <br /> money that we have with a whole lot of folks needing it." Mrs. Keely said that the <br /> Committee as a group felt that everyone who asked for funding had "great ideas and a <br /> great heart to do the kind of work that they do." She said the Committee had such a small <br /> amount of money, and so many worthy agencies, it was difficult to continue to give such a <br /> large portion of the HSFA total available funds to one organization, especially when it had <br /> not maximized its fund raising activities. <br /> Councilman Claire said he was well aware of the difficulties of fund raising, and <br /> commended TEWCI for its good work. Councilman Claire expressed his dismay that <br /> corporate America had not stepped forward to provide funding for these worthy agencies. <br /> ITERATION OF THE MOTION. <br /> MIS: CLAIREIBUCHAN TO INCREASE THE FUNDING FOR TEWCI TO THE $30,000 <br /> LEVEL RATHER THAN THE $25,000 AS RECOMMENDED <br /> CARRIED BY THE FOLLOWING ROLL CALL VOTE <br /> A YES: COUNCIL MEMBERS BUCHAN, CLAIRE, LA BERGE, AND RUSKIN <br /> NOES: COUNCILMAN LEIPZIG AND MAYOR HARTNETT <br /> MINUTE ORDER NO. 97-103 <br /> MIS: RUSKINIBUCHAN TO ALLOCATE THE REMAINING $10,580 TO SHELTER <br /> NETWORK <br /> REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING MINUTE BOOK NO. 55 MAY 19, 1997 <br /> MINUTES Page No. 342 PAGE 14 <br />
