SPACE FOR NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/28/83: <br />TO: County Commissioners DATE: September 28, 1983 FILE: <br />Michael Wright, Administrator <br />Gary Brandenburg, Attorney <br />Tommy Thomas, Director <br />FROM: Patrick B. Lyons <br />SUBJECT: Neighbors Helping <br />Neighbors Organization <br />REFERENCES: <br />I had planned to ask for reconsideration of our action which <br />could have provided free space and telephone to the above <br />organization. However,, the problem no longer exists since space <br />N is not available. Therefore, I will not ask that the item be <br />• agended at this time. <br />Nevertheless, the situation did raise a question as to our <br />policy in connection with requests for aid to people who contact <br />us and need 'help. I understand that Mr. Wright is going to <br />review and formalize the policy and plans to present it to the <br />Commission at an early date. <br />Commissioner Lyons urged the Board to reconsider their <br />intention to provide office space and telephone space to <br />Neighbors Helping Neighbors. He felt that if the County <br />provided this type of assistance to one organization or <br />agency, it would not be able to refuse another. He <br />suggested, instead, that the Welfare Department refer <br />appropriate calls to Neighbors Helping Neighbors. <br />NOV 21993 <br />L <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board <br />unanimously reconsidered their previous <br />discussion in the meeting of 9/21/83 and <br />instructed the Welfare Dept. to place Neighbors <br />Helping Neighbors on their referral list for <br />appropriate calls. <br />43, <br />Bf #( 55 w 9 <br />
