City Council Agenda Report
TO:
The Honorable City
Council
FROM:
Donald P. Reynolds
Jr., Administrative
Services Manger ll�'7 ")
DATE: December 28, 1993
SUBJECT: Use of the City's Social Service Fund
Pursuant to the policy created in 1988 for the use of the City's
social service fund, staff is reporting that assistance was
provided to a family in the amount of $200.
On December 4, 1993, the Senior Center received a request for
assistance, and on December 7, 1993, the City received confirmation
from Catholic Charities that the need was justified, (Catholic
Charities currently has no funding available to assist them). The
payment was authorized by the City Manager on December 8, 1993.
The family had to replace their furnace. It became dysfunctional,
and with one family member on disability, the cost of the medical
attention combined with the need to maintain a healthy environment,
caused this to become a serious matter.
Originally, the cost estimate for a furnace was $2,000, but through
negotiations, the cost was lowered to $900. Other local non - profit
groups and the children of the family contributed to assist the
City meet the family's need.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file the report.
