ACCEPT the report on status of providing assistance to the Human Relations Commission. BACKGROUND: On October 10 and November 14, the Finance Committee heard testimony from representatives of the Human Relations Commission on the need for assistance. In October the Committee directed the Community Services staff to work with the Commission's members to identify revenue sources and prepare necessary applications. This activity is currently underway. At the November 14 meeting, Reverend Timmons, Chair of the HRC, presented some specific and immediate needs of the Commission: 1. a copy machine; 2." flexible access to the copier and available, existing office space in Concord; and 3. exploration of alternative office space if item two cannot be accomplished. To date, the Community Services Department staff has secured a copier from the General Services Department. The copier is being serviced and will be available by November 30. However, the Community Services Department cannot cover the copier maintenance and supply costs. These costs can be financed when a revenue source is secured. In the interim, the County can cover a limited amount of the copier costs.
