<br /> Mr. Cole Hendrix, City Manager, requested Council's approval
<br />
<br />to hire two additional food stamp workers and one clerical worker~
<br />(CETA). He stated that the food stamp caseload has experienced
<br />a rapid increase in recent months and this is resulting in some
<br />delay in the processing.of applications and recertific ations.
<br />
<br />The current caseload of 1,700 and the current number of food stamp
<br />workers places the City in violation of federal requirements for
<br />the number of cases to be handled per worker. Some lawsuit threats
<br />have been made against the City. Ms. Gleason, a member of the social
<br />Services Advisory Board, concurred with Mr, Hendrix' remarks and
