RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FAIRHOPE,
ALABAMA IN REGULAR SESSION THIS 27th DAY OF JUNE, 1966, THAT:
The Council expresses its thanks to Miss Mary Grice for her
lucid and informative presentation of the Community Action Prograt
as it might apply to the City of Fairhope, and that such written
material as she wishes to leave with us be placed on file.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Council is not at this time
in favor of City participation in this program, or of any similar
program otherwise sponsored in this area, for the following
reasons:
(1) The small number of persons in actual poverty, (within
the ordinary meaning of the word) are at present receiving or can
receive assistance from the several long established programs
under local or State supervision;
(2) There has for some time been a noticeable lack of
applicants for jobs open, locally and in our neighboring city of
Mobile, in unskilled, semi -skilled and skilled classifications
and it is our opinion that any program purporting to give train-
ing in higher skills will have the effect of attracting persons
who might otherwise accept employment now available to them.
(3) We are aware that our Country is at present engaged in E
war -like situation in Asia, the cost of which cannot at present
be measured and that the military demands upon the Government
must of necessity limit at some point the funds available for
domestic social projects. This being the case, we feel that all
available funds under the Community Action Program should be
applied in the areas of greatest need, of which we are not one;
and,
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that this Council will, by RESOLUTION;
(The Mayor concurring) inform Miss Grice's office of any future
change in local conditions -"which might make our participation in
a program advisable.
Motion carried.
