CITY of SOUTH SEND ROGER O. PARENT, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING a SOUTH BEND, INDIANA •08£01 DIVISION OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT M E M O R A N D U M TO: Members of the Common Council FROM: Colleen Rosenfeld, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Ordinance to appropriate $50,000 from 1981 CDBG Unspecified Local Option funds to LaCasa de Amistad DATE: October 20, 1981 s 1440 County-City Building South Send, Indiana 48001 (219) 284-9335 Attached for your consideration is an ordinance which would appropriate $50,000 from 1981 CDBG Unspecified Local Option funds to LaCasa de Amistad Inc. for operational expenses and the construction of a parking lot adjacent to their facility at 746 S. Meade Street. The City of South Bend was originally requested to consider funding of rehabilitation of the facility but, because of the Federal Guidelines related to construction and the time frame involved, the majority of the rehabilitation work has been supported by LaCasa de Amistad. The City doesn't intend to alter its policy related to funding of administrative costs for LaCasa de Amistad beyond this appropriation. However, this was viewed as the only alternative for the city addressing the needs of LaCasa de Amistad at this time. The funds would provide salary and fringe benefits for four employees and the construction costs of the parking lot. LaCasa de Amistad serves the needs of Hispanic youth and adults in the community through career education classes,tutoring, a choral group, the Hispanic Club, sports activities, English classes, and counseling. The 1981 Unspecified Local Option Account is currently at a level of $124,787. I request your favorable consideration of this ordinance. Please contact me at 284 -9335 if you should have any questions. CR /gw Attachment cc: Mayor Roger 0. Parent CD Fiscal Officer Rev.
