e D. Community Development Block Grant Annual Statement of Objectives Ms. Ehrman asked for an explanation of the $3,000 being contributed to the Bethel Community Pals. She had understood that the Joint Social Services Fund also contributes and she was concerned that the City was now funding the entire budget ($6,000). John Van Landingham, Community Development Committee chair, explained that the committee recommends a block allocation to the joint fund but does not determine that fund's allocation to individual projects. Mr. Gleason added that the City's contribution to the joint fund comes from two sources: the General Fund and the Community Development Block Grant. The General Fund portion funds services only. The block grant funds services and agency capital improvements. The $3,000 allocated to Bethel Community Pals is the only City contribution to the agency. Ms. Schue requested that in the future, it would be useful to indicate the total amounts agencies receive from joint fund allocations of General Fund money and from COBG funds. Mr. Boles explained that it was recommended that the Friends of Lincoln School would receive $10,000, contingent on obtaining financing for the rest of the project and on being the successful competitor in response to the Request For Proposals. e Three members of the public (Ted Allen, Patrick Robertson, and Rich Reuter) indicated they wished to speak, but were not heard because the item was not scheduled as a public hearing. E. Approval of Concepts Reflected in Legislative Committee Minutes of May 8, 1989 Mr. Holmer expressed disappointment that SJR 010 relating to nude dancing did not receive at least priority 2 support. However, he predicted that the Legislature would take appropriate action on the measure. Mr. Boles thought HB 3446 relating to motor vehicle registration fees should have been assigned priority 2 status. Ms. Schue commented that the League of Oregon Cities supported that measure and that it is primarily a Portland metropolitan area issue. The bill did not appear to be a practical alternative in this county in which a large amount of road money comes to the county government. F. Segregation of Assessment for Property Located on the South Side of Elmira Road between Seneca Road and Maple Street (SE 89-01) G.
