COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER:
FROM: Ken Hampian, Assistant City Administrative Officer
Prepared by: Deb Hossli, Administrative Analyst ^(
SUBJECT: 1992-93 Human Relations Commission Grants-In-Aid Funding
Recommendations
CAO RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Consider recommendations from the Human Relations Commission for Grants-
In-Aid funding and determine the appropriate level of City support for 1992-93.
2. Adopt a resolution authorizing staff to develop and execute agreements with each
Grants-In-Aid recipient as outlined in Exhibit "A" and inclusive of any modifications
made by Council during the public hearing.
DISCUSSION:
Background
In January of this year, the Human Relations Commission (HRC) began its annual Grants-
In-Aid process. Notices advertising the availability of grant monies for local service
organizations that provide human and social services in the City were placed in the
Telegram-Tribune. In addition, prior year grant recipients were sent notices advising them
of the 1992-93 Grants-In-Aid process.
A mandatory workshop was subsequently held for all prospective applicants to review the
changes to the grant application, reiterate the HRC's expectations for application content
and format, and answer any questions of applicants. Vice Mayor Rappa and Councilman
Roalman, liaisons to the HRC, attended the workshop and provided the applicants with
their perspective on the Grants-In-Aid process.
Completed Grants-In-Aid applications were due to the City in February. The HRC
received twenty-nine applications, with total requests for funding exceeding$181,000 (this
compares to twenty-seven applications requesting over $173,000 in 1991-92). Three of
the agencies requesting monies were new to the process. The 1992-93 grant applications
are available for Council review in the City Clerk's Office.
Review Process
Upon receiving the grant applications, the HRC convened a subcommittee to thoroughly
review the applications and formulate preliminary grant recommendations. The
subcommittee's preliminary recommendations were then presented to the full Commission
for action during the HRC's regular April meeting. During the April meeting, the
Commission reviewed the subcommittee's recommendations, modified them as necessary
to reflect group consensus, and set a public hearing to present the recommendations to
the applicant agencies.

i HRC - GIA Funding
With respect to the 1992-93 process, the Grants-In-Aid subcommittee was composed of
Randy Baudendistel (who served as chair), Fran Fura and Joan Lawrence. In conducting
their review, the subcommittee evaluated the applications against the Council adopted
HRC Grants-In-Aid criteria (See Attachment 3) and the draft Human Needs Assessment
findings (See Attachment 4). The subcommittee developed their recommendations under
the assumption that $89,700 would be available for the 1992-93 process (of which $5,000
would be left in reserve to address uncertainties that may arise during the year).
Funding Recommendations
A public hearing was subsequently held on April 22, 1992 to formally present the
i Commission's 1992-93 Grants-In-Aid recommendations to the applicant agencies. During
this meeting, all applicants were given an opportunity to address the HRC regarding their
j recommendations. The hearing lasted less than an hour and went extremely smoothly.
While- some agency representatives expressed a desire for additional monies, all
recognized the financial constraints the Commission was operating within. As a result,
the HRC unanimously adopted their recommendations as presented and directed staff to
forward them to the Council for consideration.
Specifically, the HRC's 1992-93 Grants-In-Aid recommendations:
* total $89,700 ($84,700 in allocated grants and $5,000 in reserve).
* provide funding to 28 of the 29 requesting agencies with grants ranging from $450
to $12,000.
* do not provide funding to one agency (ECOSLO - while it provides very worthy
services, the City has already allocated $40,000 to this organization in the 1991-
93 Financial Plan),
provide funding to two new agencies (Life Steps and Senior Peer Counseling). i
* attempt to provide slightly more funding to those agencies that serve the top listed
needs in the draft Human Needs Assessment.
* provide slightly reduced levels of funding to several organizations so that monies
could be made available for new applicants and additional monies could be
allocated to those agencies that provide priority services identified in the draft
Human Needs Assessment.

Ill. Summary of Findings: Answers
The good news is that most San Luis Obispo residents say this is a good place to live. Most were satisfied
with theircommunity and the services It provides. Even when answering questions about problems in the
community, city residents surveyed by phone were most likely to respond that the city's problems were
moderate, and few.
The bad news is those most satisfied with the community were also those with the most money. Those at
the low end of the economic spectrum were most likely to be having a variety of problems, and to see the
city - and themselves - as having major social service needs. The social service providers and Key
Informants who help social service users generally noted the same problem issues as their clients.
However, all people surveyed generally agreed when it came to ranking the most pressing human problems
in the city-the problems which are affecting everyone, top and bottom of the economic spectrum alike.
The surveys, discussion groups, and interviews pointed to the following areas as those seen by the
community as most pressing for San Luis Obispo:
t. Not Enough Affordable Housing
2. Homelessness
3. Unemployment
4. Lack of Affordable Medical and Mental Health Care
5. Drug and Alcohol Abuse problems
6. Lack of Affordable, Quality Child Care
7. Teen Pregnancy
(Problems are ranked with the worst at the top.)
