President Postier noted that the requests as of this date were
in the amount of $951,000. and the available funds were in the
amount of $403,000.
Wishing to be heard was Harold Miller of 1213 19th Avenue N. E. and
represented Channel I. He urged the Council to approve their request
in the amount of $250,000. He gave the Council brief history of the
organization and one of the reasons that they want this large a sum
of money is to possibly lease or build/buy an existing facility.
Since they were vacated at the State Hospital ( when it was sold to
the Federal Prison ), they have rented space and have space in
Stewartville. That is not an economical way to operate and they
feel that buying or leasing is the more functional way of operating.
Wishing to be heard was Wendy Madison of 2723 Charles Ct. N. W. and
is on the Rochester Citizens for Independent Living Committee
(RCIL) and is in support of the City's recommendation for funding
in the amount of $20,000.00 for architectural barrier removal in
City buildings. They especially mentioned the location of an ele-
vator at the Recreation Center and the improvements to the Civic
Theatre and the Art Center. RCIL thanked the City for the efforts
that have made in the past.
Wishing to be heard was[brothj; Callahan of R. # 1 Byron, Mn. and
is on the task force on affordable housing of Futurescan. She state(
that the report of the numerous committees studying the housing
needs for the future were calculated and the consensus of the report!
were to encourage a Community Housing Corporation. They hope to
attract private and public funding for this corporation and the
purpose of the monies would be to provide housing in the future.
They would not be in conflict with the local HRA, but would be a
broader and flexible agency. They urge the Council to grant them
some seed money in the amt. of $90,000. to begin this venture with.
Wishing to be heard was Tutti Sherlock of 420 6th Avenue S. W. and
is the Executive Director for the Child Care and Referral Inc.
She is requesting the sum of $50,000. Ms. Sherlock reminded the
Council that Rochester and the area still has many families earning
less than $15,000 per year and they are in need of this service in
order to be able to get a job and make ends meet. This service
has been funded before - in 1983, 1985 and 1986. She urged the
Council to grant them the requested funds.
Having no one else present that wished to be heard, President Postier
closed the hearing. No action was taken. The Council will vote on
