MINUTES
Councilors Present: Nichols, Baldacci, Weston, Perry, Nealley, Faircloth, Tremble, Sprague, and
Graham.
Staff Present- Michael Crooker, Cathy Conlow, and Orinda Fogler
Chairperson Nichols opened the meeting at 5:40 PM.
Rindy Fogler provided Councilors with background information on the purpose of the funding for
the Shelter Plus Care Program. Rindy noted that they receive notice of all the grants at one time
but historically they have presented the grants to Councilors individually around the time the
each grant starts. Rindy indicated that they decided that they should present all the Shelter Plus
programs at the same time.
Councilor Baldacci asked how many people are served by the grants. Rindy indicated that
approximately 125 households are served with the three grants. Councilor Baldacci asked how
many individuals are in those households. Rindy indicated that the majority of the households
are a single individual. Rindy explained that the program serves homeless that are either
chronically mentally ill, chronic substance abusers or HIV Positive. The intent is to give them a
place to live and secure housing first and then provide them with support to thrive.
Councilor Sprague motioned to approve the resolves for all three grants. Councilor Faircloth
seconded the motion. All in favor.
