Commissioner Adarns felt they were saying that they still want the monies but they want us to change the rules so they can use it in another way. Commissioner Macht noted that the original intention was to use '/2 of the funds for rehabilitation. We are just making a change to fulfill what we originally authorized. The Homeless Services Council raised a great deal of money to solve a County problem. Commissioner Stanbridge noted that she had questioned the HUD application because she did not feel it would match. She felt that there are other people who could have used these funds and believed that the County owes it to single-family homeowners. Commissioner Tippin agreed that the Council is helping to solve a County problem and was in favor of the change. Chairman Ginn had no objection and felt it is a problem that we need to address. Richard Stark thanked the Board for all their support and noted that he and Dick Van Mele received 2 awards from the Florida Coalition for the Homeless because of actions taken by the County. This change is just to correct a technical glitch. He also expressed his thanks to staff for being so helpful and commented that they had also received $75,000 from the Department of Children and Families which will enable them to accept families with children, a long-time goal. He also expressed thanks to Louise Hubbard, a great asset to our County.
