2. Human Services:
a. Charlotte Rodgers gave the Human Services report. The Department receives many
requests for money from the Human Services Fund. During the summer months there
is less demand for help with utility bills. The staff tries to work with applicants to
come up with plans for how they will meet future expenses. We will continue to
monitor the needs of the Human Services Fund and provide additional funding if it is
needed.

will take a poll vote to approve the amount of necessary funds when we have more
information in the late fall.

would donate some cards.
