1 61 <br />COUNCIL MEETING FEBRUARY 13, 1995 <br />seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Council Liaisons - Mayor Reinert asked to delay this so that <br />there can be more discussion on the matter prior to a final <br />decision. This matter may be discussed at the February 22, 1995 <br />work session. <br />CONSIDERATION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) <br />FUNDS, RESOLUTION NO. 95 - 23, RANDY SCHUMACHER <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that a public hearing was held at the <br />last Council meeting and testimony was taken from the various <br />agencies who have requested funding through the CDBG. The City <br />is anticipating receiving $37,601.00. In the past years the <br />funds have funded the Senior Coordinator and various planning <br />agencies as well as non-profit community service organization. <br />Mr. Schumacher recommended that the City continue to fund the <br />Senior Center Coordinators position as well as the land use study <br />which should be completed this year. This leaves a balance of <br />$6,980.00 to be distributed by the City Council to the other non- <br />profit areas. <br />Exhibit Al outlines the present funding level for various <br />agencies and also outlines the 1995 requested funding from these <br />agencies. Exhibit A2 outlines the number of residents in Lino <br />Lakes served by each agency as well as what the contacts with the <br />residents entailed. Community involvement at the various <br />agencies was discussed. It was noted that Anoka County does help <br />fund some of the agencies through tax dollars. <br />Mayor Reinert asked for further information about Meals on <br />Wheels. Ms. Schloer provided the information and Council Member <br />Neal noted that the Lino Lakes Lions Club does help, however, the <br />program now provides meals for many more Lino Lakes residents and <br />additional help and funding is required. <br />Mayor Reinert noted that it would probably take too much time <br />tonight to determine what organizations to fund and for what <br />dollar amount. He asked Mr. Schumacher to provide a <br />recommendation for action at the next Council meeting. Council <br />Member Bergeson said that he would distribute the money evenly <br />among the agencies and suggested that the recommendation for the <br />land use plan be shorted by $20.00 so that there would be an even <br />$7,000.00 to distribute. Council Member Elliott explained that <br />the money was distributed evenly last year, however Mr. <br />Schumacher had explained that because of all the paper work and <br />legalities involved, it did not make sense to have each agency go <br />through all the "hoops" for a few hundred dollars. She <br />recommended that the Council select a couple agencies to fund <br />PAGE 40 <br />
