Resolution providing support
to Community Development Advisory
Boards through the Departments
of Citizen Services and Planning.
It is recommended that the City Manager, through the
Citizen Services and Planning Departments, provide
the necessary technical, clerical and administrative
support to the Community Development Advisory Boards
in lieu of funding each Community Development Advisory
Board, per the attached resolution.
In the Spring of 1979, the City Commission adopted guidelines for citizen partici-
pation for the Community Development Block Grant Program.
The guidelines created a 15-member Community Development Advisory Board in the
Community Development target areas and specifically defined the role of the Board
as well as the type of assistance the City Administration would provide to the
Board through the Citizen Services and Planning Departments.
According to the guidelines, the operation and administration of the Program are
the responsibility of City staff. A City Planner and a Community Involvement
Specialist are assigned to work in each target area.
At recent meetings, some of the Boards have requested that the City provide them
with a budget to hire their own staff, lease office space and pay for general
operating expenses (i.e. telephones, utilities and supplies).
After reviewing the Boards' request as well as the support the administration is
currently providing, this excessive expense cannot be justified:
To fund one Community Development Advisory Board would set a precedent and would
result in providing funds for each Community Development Advisory Board.
Other Boards and Committees established by the City Commission receive technical,
clerical and administrative support through the City Administration.
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution which
ensures the Community Development Advisory Boards that the Administration will
continue to provide them the necessary technical, clerical and administrative
support.
