This person will be terminated at the end of December unless funding is provided. The City Manager recommends that the position be retained. Recommendation of the Committee on Community Needs: (1) That the City Council find funds to resolve the problems of the Creekside area. (2) That two houses for handicapped children be funded from sources other than CDBG funds, or that Systems Unlimited be encouraged to apply for CDBG funding next year. Recommendations (1) and (2) require no further action at this time, as they were discussed with CCN at the informal Council meeting on November 22, 1982. (3) That surface and drainage improvements on Kirkwood Circle be a high priority of the Public Works capital improvements program. The recommendation refers to the request by residents of Kirkwood Circle for CDBG funds for drainage improvements and resurfacing. This project is not in a designated Neighborhood Strategy Area at this time, and therefore received a low priority for funding with CDBG funds. The residents have requested assistance from the Public Works Department which is aware of the problem. Because of the complete absence of curbs, catch basins and storm sewers, and the bad state of the pavement, the City Engineer estimates that it would cost $60,800 to make the required improvements. It is suggested that Council consider including this project in the 1984 Capital Improve- ments Program. Balmer returned to the meeting.
