criteria stating no organization can receive more than $5,000 in CSD funding except
arts in the community and the Temecula Valley Playhouse. These two categories will
be given a special line item budget.
Director Nelson said that organizations can consider applying for additional CDBG funds.
Commissioner Comerchero said his concern with the Senior Center located on
Winchester Road is that they currently provide a service which they may not be able to
provide in the future without additional funding.
Chairman Edwards expressed a concern that this is not a issue that has been brought
forward to the Commission, and yet the Commission is trying to define a problem. He
said he believes the Commission should make the management at the Senior Center
aware there is open communication available between the Center and the City, and the
Commission could offer their assistance.
Commissioner Nimeshein said he agreed with Chairman Edwards. Commissioner
Nimeshein said he understood Commissioner Comerchero to say that the Senior Center
would be losing funding which they need to maintain current services.
Director Nelson said this issue should be discussed by the City Council. He said staff
will advise the Senior Center there are additional funds available through CDBG that
they can apply for. .
