Mr. Vincent Uhl, a member of the MACAA board, that that he felt MACAA was a tremendous benefit to the community and requested that Council approve the resolution. Mr. Buck stated that he would abstain from voting on the resolution as he is a member of the Governor's task force which is studying the effects of federal cuts on social service programs. Responding to a question from Mr. Towe, Mr. Ackerman stated that a similar resolution would be requested from the other participating localities. Mr. Towe asked what amount the community action agencies were seeking from the State.
