.7 <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating reviewed the recommendations and <br />noted that last year 2 grant applications were .filed. The first, for economic development, <br />was approved. However, the funds were lost because the 3rd party applicant, CRA Care <br />Center, did not receive their secondary grant. The other application was for a neighborhood <br />revitalization and we did not do well there. This community does poorly because our needs <br />are not as severe as others. The economic development grants are for infrastructure and there <br />have been discussions with 2 applicants regarding the possibility of submitting applications. <br />He felt it would be a waste of time and resources to apply for the community revitalization <br />category but that situation might improve after the Census 2000 data comes in. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard <br />regarding this matter. There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Tippin, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Stanbridge, to <br />approve staff s recommendation. <br />The Chairman then reopened the public hearing. <br />Dick Van Mele, 781 George Street, Sebastian, a member of the Advisory Committee, <br />encouraged the Board to file the application whether or not it is accepted and recommended <br />that Louise Hubbard from the Coalition for the Homeless be asked to serve on the Task <br />Force. <br />MAY 099 2000 <br />• <br />-39- BOOK ilJ PAGE 331 <br />
