PARENT, Mayor COUNTY-CITY BUILDING • SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 48801 South Bend Common Council 4th Floor, County -City Bldg. South Bend, Indiana 46601 Dear Members of the Council: F -0 II 3 U • 2 Y 1440 County -City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 (219) 284 -9335 This ordinance submitted for your consideration would appropriate 1983 Unspecified Local Option funds to assist in establishing a Parents' Resource Center through Project Head Start of St. Joseph County. The request for funding was submitted by Head Start during the program year 1983, application process. At that time the activity was considered ineligible for funding with CDBG monies unless a waiver was approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development waiving the current regulations which restrict assistance to public facilities. The waiver has been received by the city thus allowing the funding of the activity. The $7,250.00 would be used to move a portable classroom building including foundation, electrical, and plumbing work. The building to be located at 533 South Scott Street would then house the Parents' Resource Center providing services such as: 1. to teach /improve sewing skills, 2. to teach /improve parents' knowledge about child behavior and development, 3. to provide parents with a common meeting place, and 4. to establish a library for use by parents.
