1. Mayor Armstrong called the meeting to order, John Hamilton

2. Conduct lst Public Hearing for Submission of a Grant
under 1988 Texas. Community Development Program.
Mayor Armstrong stated Lee Lawrence, Vice President with
GSA, and some other guests were present who would also
get an opportunity to speak.
Lee briefed City Council on certain issues regarding
submission of the Grant Application.
First, the Community Development Program is a grant
program and is federal money funded through the State
Agency -Texas Department of Community of Commerce. The
money within Texas is allocated by regions and the
City competes with other cities for grant funds.
Lee also discussed the selection criteria to be used by
TCDP staff and the RRC's for the scoring of applica-
tions.
He also recommended that the City apply for the water
well project which is a project that benefits the
community, city wide.
Lee also stated that it will be late spring or early
summer before they will know who will be funded.
The submission date for the grant is Oct. 27. The
city will know how they scored in the regional scoring
at least by Dec. 1 or the 15th.
GSA will do this application at no cost to the city since
they have done two prior applications and the city
did not get funded.
Mrs. Esta Morgan then addressed the City Council but
she was hoping this public hearing for grant funds was for
Library funds.
Mayor Armstrong did advise her that there are other grants
that benefit Libraries.
City Manager advised that through Texas Libraries System
and Regional Libraries System there are monies available.
He advised them he would check into this.
Mrs. Morgan representing the Cultural Committee, also
addressed the City Council that they would love for City
Council to join with them to enlarge the Community'
Center and put a large room on the west and if they could
get a cost estimate and maybe they could get some clubs
to come up with some funds. It is something that is
needed. She would like for council to give this their
condiseration.
Discussion.
Mayor Armstrong thanked Mrs. Morgan and Nancy for coming.
