C. Human Services Issue Paper: Jack E. Henthorn, Director of
Housing and Redevelopment, opened discussion on the Human Service
Issue Paper pointing out that there were seven (7) items noted.
Further discussion was held on the lack of an overall strategy
regarding role the City will play in providing Human Services,
although City provides services that can be defined as Human
Services. Examples include the library, housing, and programs
or agencies which are supportive either in part or as a whole.
The Issue Paper was prepared to obtain Committee input as to
expansion, deletion, and what what they would like to see as
Human Services in a detailed summarized fashion.
Ms. Stinemeyer distributed a revised version of the work-program.
Member Courson discussed last paragraph on page 2 of Issue Paper
and stated it was a key paragraph and suggested it be backed-up
with statistics.
Discussion continued with emphasis on Needs Assessment, basis for
attracting community feed-back and input at public hearing,
news/media coverage of hearings and ways of getting information
out to the community.
Suggestion made to have listing of services that are available at
present, advertisement of meetings, and assignment of committee
members to approach various clubs in community with survey
questionaire. It was proposed that list of alternatives for
issuance of survey questionaire and format be brought back to the
committee at their next regular meeting or a special meeting if
necessary.
Committee Member Hallman mentioned that Work Program Report date
of August 10, 1981 should be boxed.
