Attention to recommendations referenced in the July 14, 1998, minutes was made.
An update, to be mail~d to members, was requested on steps taken to address these
issues: 1) page 2; paragraph 4, "It was recommended the School Board address the
educational needs of young children and that lottery money be used for early childhood
intervention. It was suggested right-toRlife groups be approached to help with this issue."
and 2) pages 2 and 3 regarding the consequential shortage of child care facilities for low
income families.
'"
It was suggested staff contact the Pinellas County School Board regarding the
importance of school board support for eafly child education. It was recommended board
'members participate in this project and actively support these issues. It was noted the
Juvenile Welfare Board has a great deal of relevant information on file. It was stated the'
media must be apprised of the urgent need for child care. Attracting media attention to the
issue is important.

It was noted funded agencies had not yet had the opportunity to demonstrate
performance or fund usage. At least 3 months are needed to formulate this information. It
was suggested no more than 3 agencies report per meeting with reports limited to 5
minutes each for repeating agencies. It was suggested presentations include Information
on performance, a current report on grant spending, and, if applicable, an explanation of
shortfalls related to last year's goals.

In response to concerns that CNHS (Clearwater Neighborhood Housing Services)
failure to respond to its board members' requests for information, it was suggested those
boards may have lost their effectiveness and need to address that issue. Concern was
expressed CNHS' failure to meet goals related to the construction of in-fill housing in North
Greenwood harms the neighborhood and its residents. Copies of relative board minutes
was requested. ,It was requested Habitat for Humanity also address last year's goals.
Housing & Urban Development Assistant Director Mike Holmes said he will request
, agencies report on last year's performance and answer the 8 subgrantee monitoring
questions developed by board members. It was suggested as CNHS always rates well in
the rating system used to determine the granting of CDBG (Community Development Block
Grant) funds and consistently fails to meet its goals, the board may need to rethink the
current evaluation system. It was noted the TRC (Technical Revie~ Committee) rates
CNHS poorly.
ITEM #4 Suborantee Monitorina Assionments
Member Cutkomp reviewed the Fair Housing program offered by CSF, Community
....U) Services Foundation to address landlord/tenant rights. The agency, which served 347

Director Jerry Spilatro indicated the groundbreaking for the new family services
center/police substation is being planned.
Subrecipient monitoring assignments were reviewed.
