Commissioner Davis acknowledged that these organizations do a phenomenal job, and <br />agreed with Administrator Baird that if they went out of business, the County would be required <br />to offer those services. Commissioner O'Bryan agreed. <br />Guy Barber, 2015 Island Drive SW, wanted to know what budget cuts the <br />Commissioners' Office had made, in comparison to the $20,000.00 cut from the Food Kitchen's <br />budget. He was opposed to the budget cuts to certain agencies, especially to programs designed <br />for the disabled, low income, the infirm, and veterans. <br />Administrator Baird informed Mr. Barber that the County had cut its own budgets 6%. <br />Mr. Barber believed the only ones taking the hit were the people who needed the services the <br />most. He again expressed adamant opposition to the budget cut for the Food Kitchen. <br />Administrator Baird invited him to come again with his grouses, in September, to the final <br />budget hearing. <br />Godfrey Gibson, Gifford Progressive Civic League, although he did not like the cut, <br />thanked the Board for its cooperation, and hoped the League's budget would be restored next <br />year to full capacity. <br />Freddie Woolfork, Gifford Youth Activity Center, 4590 57th Avenue, thanked the Board <br />on behalf of Gifford Youth Activity Center for their consideration. He invited everyone to the <br />Center for a tour. <br />An unidentified speaker, on behalf of the Gifford Board, thanked the Commission and <br />staff for all they do to support the Center. <br />July 18, 2007 23 <br />
