MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD MARCH 9, 1992 CDBG FUNDING — CONT. Kiki Sonnen, Director of Westonka Community Action and LaDean McWilliams, Representative to West Hennepin Community Services were present. Sonnen noted when she sent the request for $1,000 she did not have a break down of persons served by community, but it was now available. The request was based on past contributions,,but noted an increase in services to residents of Orono. Callahan noted the intention of the motion was not to turn down the requests but rather allow staff to review additional needs for funding by such organizations. Jabbour requested to know exactly what was spent on each of the programs, and how the $1,000 request was figured out. Sonnen stated that HUD looks at all the money from Hennepin County to make sure that 15% is used for services and the remainder for other projects such as comprehensive planning for cities. Goetten questioned the 15% limit to be spent on these services. Moorse noted the City could allocate more for these services, but someone else would-be required to spend less. Callahan suggested staff review the guidelines for allocation of funds and include a report for review at the next meeting. Moorse indicated that the cities had an understanding to only spend 15% as that is what the Federal government allows. Dan .Hessburg, Westonka Intervention, noted their budget is very limited at approximately $11,700, and they service surrounding communities. Westonka Intervention thought funding would be cut for the upcoming year and therefore did not request an additional amount. i ( #2) CONSENT AGENDA Jabbour added Item #5 to the consent agenda.
