Linda Kirk presented a request from Adults Care, Inc. --Key VII in the amount of $25,000 for relocation of their building from West 11th and Washington Streets to 3420 University Avenue. She stated that due to the purchase of their building by the Iowa Department of Transportation for highway purposes, money was being requested for the purchase and renovation of the new building. A slide show was shown which illustrated the organization's services to handicapped adults and elderly persons within a seven (7) county area. Mr. Lindsay indicated that said request had been reviewed by the Community Development Board but did not meet Block Grant guidelines. Russ Lowe, Vice Chairperson of the Community Development Board, stated that Block Grants should be used to principally benefit low and moderate income residents in the City of Waterloo. Key VII, he said, does serve persons outside the corporate limits. Rachel Fulton, Board Member of Adults Care, Inc., stated that 77% of their clients reside in Waterloo. Councilperson Seeber asked for an explanation of the difference between the Key VII project request and the proposed allocation of $25,000 to People's Community Health Clinic for downpayment on the purchase of the building they are now leasing at 129 East Parker Street. Ron Kemp, Program Director for People's Clinic, stated that a request for City Block Grant Fund several years ago was denied for development of a pharmacy. Expansion of their existing facility is necessary for the future combination of health services.
