Council Member Valdivia asked Mr. Mims where in the document was he proposing
additional funding and resources for mobile home residents.
Mr. Mims explained that the consultants took the surveys that were done and based on
the number of times that a topic was mentioned was how they developed the priority
needs. He stated that Mobile Homes may not have come up in the needs survey as a
priority.
Council Member Valdivia asked if there were provisions for hotel vouchers and
emergency types of services for stranded families that fall in peril.
Mr. Mims stated that there were motel vouchers that were authorized through the Access
Center for families that were displaced.
Allen Parker, City Manager, explained that the process performed by the consultant took
in the results of the survey and not necessarily the wishes of the individual Council
Members, and in the absence of a vote that says put that in would go by what the
consultant had recommended to the survey.
Larry Haynes, Executive Director of Mercy House, explained that they had been
operating out of the Salvation Army since February 2015 when the contract was
approved. He reported that seven households had already been placed in a housing tract
and had been housed. He indicated that there were currently fifty-eight clients that they
were currently working with. They were also working with the Police Department on

they had progressively partnered with. He also indicated that a goal was set in terms of
where they would be by June 30, 2015 and stated that they were ahead of schedule on
that goal.
Council Member Valdivia made a proposal to replace Micro Enterprise Program for
Mobile Home Grant repairs for the community at $150,000 and that the Exterior
Beautification Grant Commercial Program be reduced from $300,000 to $250,000 and
add $50,000 variance for emergency type vouchers.
Mr. Mims asked the Mayor if$200,000 could be added to the plan and not re-adjust the
numbers since it was recommended by HUD that the City have an economic
development program.
Council Member Valdivia requested that Motion No. 4 be amended by adding $150,000
for mobile home grant repairs and $50,000 for emergency types of services for vouchers
for distressed families which would change the total amount from $923,000 to
$1,123,000.
