HOUSING & 1986 Proposals. A public hearing is scheduled
COMMUNITY for this date to consider adoption of the 1986 Hous-
DEVELOPMENT ing and Community Development Block Grant Program.
BLOCK GRANT The program project proposals were presented to
PROGRAM the Council Public Works and Planning Committee
on September 12 and October 3 , 1985. The recom-
mendations of the Planning Department were included
with the agenda packet.
Bruce Creager, Housing & Community Development
Program Planner, noted that among the County' s
recommendations for their share of Block Grant Funds
were several programs related to Kent. Creager
pointed out that the Council had, in August 1985 ,
adopted Community Development Local Program Policies
for 1986 and that the Planning Department had
sent information about the 1986 program to 18
human services agencies. Creager noted that
representatives from the following agencies were
in attendance: Green River Community Health
Center, South King County Multi Service Center,
YWCA, Domestic Abuse Women ' s Network (DAWN) .
The City Clerk noted that a letter from Green
River Community Health Center dated October 17 was
distributed with the packet. The letter was then
filed for the record, by motion.
The public hearing was opened by Mayor Hogan.
Bailey noted that last year the City had requested
that DAWN supply information as to how many of
their cases were from the City of Kent. Sharon
Atkin stated that such information had been con-
tained in the quarterly billings sent to the City
and that she had assumed the figures had been
forwarded to the Council . She answered further
questions relating to the material contained in
the packet dealing with the expenditures and anti-
cipated revenue for DAWN. It was noted that if
funds were to be cut next year, information on
the percentage of City residents would be needed
to determine the amount of money the City might be
willing to allocate.
Upon questions from the Council , Creager explained
the Kent/Renton Housing Rehabilitation program.
There were no comments from the audience, and WOODS
MOVED to close the hearing. Biteman seconded and

HOUSING & Before the meeting adjourned, Cushing noted that
COMMUNITY the South King County Activities Center (SCAC)
DEVELOPMENT had attended a workshop some time ago to request
BLOCK GRANT rent subsidies funding from the four valley cities
PROGRAM in the amount of approximately $18, 000. At that
time they were advised that the information they
had submitted was sufficient for budget consider-
ation. It appears that it was not made clear to
SCAC that application for H & C D funds was a
separate process. Although SCAC received the
notification sent by the Planning Department,
they did not respond, as they thought that the
original information submitted was also sufficient
for consideration for H & C D Block Grant funds.
