This item removed from the Consent Calendar for consideration at this time. -- Execution of agreements for the Human Services Financial Assistance Program: (304) REPORT: Parks, Recreation and Community Services Manager Magda Gonzalez, August 25,1997 Vice Mayor Howard described the Human Services Financial Assistance Program and said that Redwood City is the only city in the Bay Area that allocates over $200,000 to human service non-profit agencies in its own community. These agencies provide services that city governments couldn't possibly provide. Vice Mayor Howard described how the Housing and Human Concerns Committee considers applications and makes recommendations to the Council. She said the money given to those agencies provides services to Redwood City residents in areas such as child care, crisis intervention and senior services, and the money is well spent in our community. Councilman Claire said approximately two years ago the editorial staff of the Redwood City Tribune gave Foster City a great deal of credit for allocating $19,000 to agencies in Foster City. He said the Tribune had been advised that the citizens of Redwood City had consistently supported the City's large allocations to non-profits for as long as he could remember, through liberal and conservative Councils. Councilman Claire said these funds come from the general fund, and are not reimbursed grants. He agreed with Vice Mayor Howard and said he hoped the Tribune would give the citizens and Councils of -- Redwood City the same compliments it gave Foster City.
