Item 4.07 VM Gary said he supported approval of the funding as recommended. He spoke regarding the importance and benefit of the Eden I&R 2-1-1 program and suggested including funding for the program in the fiscal year 2013-2014 budget. He suggested the county-wide program be funded on an annual basis by all cities on a per-capita or by call-service fair share formula that would eliminate the annual uncertainty for funding this important service to the entire community

In response to questions by Mayor Marchand, Assistant City Manager Troy Brown said funding for 2-1-1 could be included in the upcoming budget discussion. He said staff would discuss shared funding with the other participating cities at the Alameda County City Managers Association meeting

In response to questions by Mayor Marchand, Ms. Bernstein confirmed that Oakland had 50% of the calls and only provided 7.6% of the funding. She said the $100,000 annual contribution by the City of Oakland was a huge commitment for them

In response to questions by CM Woerner, Ms. Bernstein said the fixed variable ratio should be based on population and not number of calls. She said the number of calls was always fluctuating

4.07 Vicky Gwiasda, Executive Director, CALICO, said CALICO was a child advocacy program that served all of Alameda County. She expressed appreciation for the support. Mayor Marchand said in 2008 the Citys budget was cut by 20% when property and sales tax dropped. At that time, the City continued to provide essential services while providing for the unfortunate. He complemented the Human Services Commission for their dedication in reviewing and making the recommendations for grant funds. He said funding for human services from the general fund was dangerous because there was not a sustained funding source for replenishment

In response to questions by Mayor Marchand, Human Services Manager Jean Prasher said 2-1-1 was not eligible for Community Development Block Grant funds because verifiable income data for their clients was not provided. She said the Social Opportunity Endowment funds could possibly be used, however the funds could not be replenished

CM Horner said he valued the comprehensive evaluation and recommendations by the Human Services Commission and was reluctant to make any changes. He said he was hesitant to use general funds to fund 2-1-1. He said he supported VM Garys suggestion that a fair share formula by all participating cities needed to be established

IT WAS MOVED BY CM HORNER, SECONDED BY CM TURNER TO APPROVE ITEM 4.07.

VM Gary said with no funding from the Human Services Commission, there were zero dollars committed to 2-1-1. He requested funding for 2-1-1 be included in the fiscal year 2013-2014 budget discussion

CM Woerner said funding for 2-1-1 needed to be addressed this year. He suggested the Council consider one-time funding while a long term funding formula with all participating agencies was being established

THE MOTION CARRIED ON A 5-0 VOTE AND THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTED THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION.

4.07 Resolution 2013-032 authorizing appropriation of Housing and Human Services Grant funds in the amount of $606,371 utilizing Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Social Opportunity Endowment, Housing In-Lieu, and Human Services Facility Fee funds for Fiscal Year 2013-2014; and authorizing execution of all related documents.
