SocialServiceHumanRelationsBoard | 2014-10-02 | 4 | During the brief discussion, the Board agreed that this would be a reasonable process. A motion was made to support the project, and have President Biggs draft a letter the Mayor and Council asking that they assist in moving the project forward. M/S Hyman / Radding Unanimous 3-E. DISCUSSION OF THE BOARD'S ROLE IN THE FY15-16 CDBG NON-HOUSING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT-PUBLIC SERVICES PROCESS President Biggs shared that last year the Board's recommendations regarding CDBG Public Service funding for 2014/15 did not match the recommendations made by the CDBG|AHA staff. One of the primary issues was that, while the scoring was intended to be competitive, Echo fair housing services are mandated services, and the plan was to fund Eden I&R 211, regardless of how it scored. This year, the funding for these two programs will be subtracted from 2015/16 CDBG Public Service funds, with the funds remaining being distributed on a competitive basis. President Biggs added that this year, SSHRB will be doing the scoring, and that SSHRB has also been asked to provide feedback by December on the scoring process being used. The CDBG grant applications and score sheets were included in this month's packet. Members are asked to send any comments to President Biggs, so that he and member Radding can review them. They will come back with recommendations at the meeting on October 22nd 4. BOARD/STAFF COMMUNICATIONS, NON-AGENDA Member Hyman announced that the Alameda Fire Department Pumpkin Patch will be distributing free pumpkins to Alameda youth on October 22nd President Biggs and staff shared information regarding the "Speak Out" against domestic violence event, sponsored by SSHRB and the Domestic Violence Task Force, that will be held on Thursday October 16th on the steps of City Hall. Speakers include Mayor Gilmore, Supervisor Chan, Alameda County District Attorney Nancy O'Malley, and Alameda Police Chief Paul Rolleri. 5. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Bill Smith, Vice President of Renewed Hope, shared that he enjoyed attending the meeting, and announced that a Rental Task Force, made up of community members, had been formed to discuss the challenges facing renters in Alameda. Rising rents have created a situation where many of our citizens can no longer afford to live in Alameda. Mr. Smith shared that the task force will be conducting a number of meetings. (At the last meeting, President Biggs shared that he has been informed that a Housing Cost and Rents Task Force was being formed, and that the Board may be requested to have one or more members participate. The community group that Mr. Smith is referring to has been formed in its place) The meeting was adjourned at 9:12PM.
