Staff report re: <br />JAUNT <br /> <br />Appropriation re: <br />$16,920 - JAUNT <br /> <br /> the facility .... <br /> <br /> The City Manager stated that anytime an organization applies for <br /> assistance from HUD the local government is notified and given 30 <br /> days in which to respond as to whether there are' any comments the <br /> Council might like to make. <br /> <br /> Mrs. O'Brien stated that she thought this was very admirable and <br /> appreciated Mr. Btackwell's efforts in trying to secure this housing <br /> for the deaf people in the community. <br /> <br /> A motion by Mrs. O'Brien~ seconded by Mr. Albro that the Council <br /> go on record as having no objections to this application and fully <br /> support the request, was unanimously adopted. <br /> <br /> A staff report was presented stating that the staff has not <br /> received any additional information from JAUNT which would allow <br /> it to develop true cost on services delivered to the City, but the <br /> staff recommends that an appropriation be approved which will allow <br /> sufficient funds for JAUNT to continue operations for at.~least <br /> three months. <br /> <br /> Mrs. O'Brien questioned the appropriation resolution which was <br /> offered at the last Council meeting in which it is stated the City's <br /> amount will not be provided unless the other political subdivisions <br /> served agree to donate their share. She stated she was under the <br /> impression that it was stated that if the other jurisdictions did <br /> not participate then JAUNT would not furnish service to those <br /> jurisdictions. She stated she wished the resolution changed to <br /> read, "that if the donation is not forth coming from the subdivision <br /> then the service to that subdivision should be stopped." <br /> <br /> Mr. Gatewood stated that Mr. Wilson had indicaned in a memo to <br /> <br /> Mr. Stripling that he would be able to substantially comply with the <br /> conditions stated by Council by August 1st and that during the interim <br /> period the $6,000 from the County, plus a loan from the City of <br /> $5,640 would be sufficient to operate on for that period of time. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wilson stated that $5,640 would get him through to August 1st <br /> and by that time he would have an answer from each of the jurisdictions <br /> which he was approaching and he would have some data to give Council <br /> about the cost of his operation by jurisdictions. <br /> <br /> Mr. Gatewood then asked what information we would have at the end <br /> <br /> of three months that we wouldn't have at the end of one month. <br /> Mr. Wilson answered a more extensive cost data. <br /> <br /> A motion by Mr. Gatewood, seconded by Mr. Albro that the <br />appropriation resolution be amended to read "$5,460 for one month, <br />until further information is provided," was defeated by the following <br />recorded vote. Ayes: Mr. Albro and Mr. Gatewood. Noes: Mr. Brunton, <br />Mr. Buck and Mrs. O'Brien. <br /> <br /> The resolution appropriating $16,920 as a contribution to the <br />operations of JAUNT, which was offered at the meeting of the Council <br />on June 18, 1979, was adopted, as amended, by the following recorded <br />vote. Ayes: Mr. Brunton, Mr. Buck and Mrs.O'Brien. Noes: Mr. <br />Albor and Mr. Gatewood. <br /> <br />7¸7 <br /> <br /> <br />
