• <br />• <br />GENERAL BUDGET PROCESS <br />Frank Coffey, 88 Cache Cay, raised several issues regarding the budget process including <br />the number of new employees proposed. He wondered where the funds come from for these costs <br />and whether those amounts are included in the annual budget. <br />Administrator Chandler explained some of the procedures involved and that any amounts <br />required over and above the budgeted amounts are brought before the Board as a formal budget <br />amendment. <br />Director Baird offered to provide further information for Mr. Coffey tomorrow at the Budget <br />Office. <br />COAanwFOR THE HOMELESS <br />Dick Van Mele, 7300 20'` Street, #525, President of the Coalition for the Homeless, <br />requested further consideration of the Coalition's request for $25,000 which had been approved by <br />the Task Force Committee. He believed that all further information requested had now been provided <br />and noted that they have worked very hard and raised over $200,000. The County's funding of <br />$50,000 last year made it possible for the Coalition to provide aid to people who are not residents <br />of the shelter. They fed over 284 meals to non-residents. <br />Chairman Macht stated that the Samaritan Center also went through the same growing pains <br />with operational and staff costs. He believed that the Coalition for the Homeless is moving forward <br />and that the Board must now decide whether the County has a responsibility to share the costs with <br />the care givers. He urged the Board to give the Coalition another chance to fulfill their promise. <br />Commissioner Tippin felt the Coalition is doing a superior job and he is very encouraged by <br />the progress they are making. He favored interim funding for a 6 -month period in the amount of <br />$25,000. <br />SEPTEMBER 8 1999 <br />-5- <br />
