Kathy Russell, of Pinellas Opportunity Council Chore Services, thanked the City for its support. She expressed
concern this year's $9,345 allocation was the lowest amount ever received; POC will spend approximately
$40,000 next year providing services to Clearwater residents. She said it was distressful that the POC grant
was not awarded points for its qualified activities. She recommended a check list be used to ensure that future
applications are graded fairly.
Housing Manager Diane Durr said this year's applications were scored more stringently than before;
application updates were planned. Federal and State funds to the City had decreased.
