Council tables $12,000 Haven summer program request after questions about outreach and oversight
Summary
The city tabled a $12,000 request from the Haven summer program after councilors questioned low public awareness, attendance, and whether the program should provide a detailed plan or match funds; a motion to fund $8,000 with advertising requirements failed.
Representatives (via packet) from the Haven asked the council for $12,000 in support of the center’s summer programming. The council questioned whether the program had sufficiently marketed its availability to the broader community and whether Haven representatives should appear in person to answer follow-up questions.
A motion to fund $8,000 contingent on broader advertising by Haven and a report back failed on a roll call; council later voted to table the request until Haven personnel can attend and provide a plan for broader outreach and participation. Multiple councilors suggested a matching or reporting requirement rather than an unconditional award.
