The Joint Meeting was called to order by Mayor Cichy in
order to discuss the "Home Handyman Program.". .
Mrs. Knapp, Chairman of the Human Resources Commission,
explained some of the features of the program, and stated that
most of the information was included in her letter to the
Council and inquired if there were any questions.
Mr. Kennedy stated that he would help in two ways. It
would help the young people to gain skills and help the elderly
who': are not able to do some of these repairs themselves.
Mayor Cichy inquired what type of funding would be used.
Mrs. Knapp stated that she felt that CETA funding would
be available for this program.
Councilman Hunter stated that he felt that there had not
been enough investigation of this program done by the Commission
so'...that the Council could make any type of decision.
Councilman Taylor stated that he didn't like the County
control of these repairs and it might result in an expenditure
that would be greater than these elderly people anticipate.
Councilwoman Trujillo entered the Conference Room at 7:20.
Councilwoman Trujillo stated that her interpretation of
the "handyman program" is that it is for small repairs that
cannot be handled by the senior citizen, such as replacing of
screens, fixing light fixtures or'replacing a:.few shingles
in the roof.
After much discussion regarding this program it was decided
that there should be another study session in the near future and
at that time have a little more information on the program and
what the other cities with this program are doing'?;and.-what._financing
is available and would be needed.
The Meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p. m., to the next regular
Meeting of the Council on November 22, 1977 at 8:00 p. m.
