One of the things looked <br />at since the last meeting was the 15% cap on allocation of funding for <br />public service -type activities. There is a 15% cap on the total CDBG <br />allocation to the County but that allocation is so large that our <br />little bit of it, if we go over 15% of our specific allocation, is not <br />going to have a huge impact on whether the whole County is still <br />within that 15% cap. <br />Goetten asked if Moorse was advocating funding for "C" (referring to <br />Moorse's memo of 3/20/92) or not? <br />Moorse answered that it was possible to do.so without having a <br />substantial impact. <br />Goetten commented that this increase is 100 %. <br />Moorse explained that in his Memo of 3/20/92 he showed letter "C" <br />because the Interfaith Outreach group had a request for $2,000.00 to <br />match a grant. <br />I <br />Goetten added that they all had an opportunity to use a $1,000.00 last <br />year, two used it and one didn't. Regarding the 3/20/92 memo she <br />questioned the options and wanted to use some funds for the Park. <br />Mayor Peterson asked for comments from the public regarding this item, <br />hearing none, she closed the public hearing. <br />1 <br />
