Mr. Williams said in addition to Mr. Obie's comments, he felt Mr. Delay wanted the Joint Social Services Committee to say how this program' could be developed, and how to get it going. He fel t perhaps . Mr. Delay wanted them to say this program was more important than any others they had turned down. Mr. Williams was more interested in the subcommittee saying this was the single most important need in the community if they really saw it that way. Mary Hudzikiewicz, chairman of the City Budget Committee and of the Revenue Sharing Subcommittee, said part of the process of the subcommittee was a mid-year evaluation of of agencies. At that time, new applications would be reviewed, as well as funding of programs that had already been made to evaluate whether they were successful. She assumed an evaluation of the Women space program would occur at that time, and agreed the City Council was putting pressure on the system. Mr. Delay, in answer to Mr. Williams and Obie, said the present process was adequate. He was not requesting actual funding, but asking infor- mation as to where this program fits into the Joint Social Services scheme. He felt there was an important need in the_community which had been only recently identified. If it did not fit into the social services framework, then Council should definitely get involved. He did not think the process would be destroyed, as other groups would not be coming before Council that often. Vote was taken on the amendment to the motion which failed, with Bradley, Haws, Lieuallen, and Delay voting no; Smith, Williams, Obie, and Hamel voting aye; Mayor Keller voting no - to break the tie. Vote was taken on the main motion, with a change in date to September 1 or sooner for the response, with all Council members present voting aye except Mr. Williams voting no. IV. DOG POUND SITE--Memo distributed to Council. Assistant Manager reviewed memo distributed to Council in which the Tri-Agency Dog Control Authority was requesting consideration of using airport property for a dog pound site. He said endeavors had been made to find space that was mutually compatible and operationally successful, with a reluctance to get involved in condemnation proce- dures. He said Council had before it a request from the Tri-Agency Control policy board and staff to consider using a two-acre site at the airport. The Airport Commission considered the proposal early Tuesday. He noted Arthur Jarr and Bob Shelby were available to answer questions by Council. A map was distributed to City Council showing the site. . He noted the three key components of choos i n9 a site were: 1) accessibility; 2) convenience and encroachment on abutting property; and 3) operational convenience. 7/20/77 - 6 e \ , 51~
