Laura Diettrich and Vicky Wakins of The Sanctuary on 8th Street explained that the organization formerly used Public Service Grants to feed the homeless at their location in Springfield.  After the adoption of a zoning overly that prohibited their feeding operation, the agency no longer applied for PSG funds but did continue to apply for  and utilize Children’s Commission funding for children’s services.  A required audit report for the last PSG in FY03-04 was sent but apparently never received by the City.  The agency was placed on the Council Auditor’s PSG non-compliance list but this fact was for some reason not recognized by the Children’s Commission until this year, when the group was barred from applying for JCC summer campership funds.  Council Member Crescimbeni requested a timeline of events from The Sanctuary and from the Children’s Commission.

Joe Whitaker of the JEDC explained the project and the QTI incentive process.  In response to questions he stated that the State of Florida verifies the required employment and verifies that employees are new to the company and not transferring from other locations or affiliate companies.  Council Member Crescibmeni requested a list of the City’s total outstanding QTI obligations.

 

Council Member Corrigan suggested that a designation in the number/title of QTI bills indicating that they are only subject to 2 readings rather than the usual 3 reading cycles would be helpful in identifying these bills at a glance so there is no confusion about their listing with other second reading bills.
