PUBLIC HEARING HELD: Ordinance #C-60-00 (R-26-00) – Applying for a Community Development
Planning Only Block Grant for an Intergenerational Neighborhood Center
A Public Hearing was
held at 10:15 a.m., as scheduled and advertised, to consider Ordinance #C-60-00
(R-26-00) in the matter of applying for
a Community Development Planning Only Block Grant for an Intergenerational
Neighborhood Center, in the amount of
$55,405.
Larry Kwarsick, Public
Works Director, noted this
was one of a group of CDBG programs
awarded in the State for various types
of activities, planing and construction, to principally benefit low to moderate income. This is a pre-capital
fund submittal for an intergenerational center to be located on South Whidbey.
The County’s role, together with the City of Langley, will be as lead agency
for the application. Identification of
specific needs, development of a vision for the center and design concept for
the building can become clearer in the
actual application.
Mike McIntyre, Director, Senior Services of Island County;
Mindy Magnusson, Director, South Whidbey Youth Center; Kathy McLaughlin, Ex.
Director, Is. Co. /Stanwood Community Public Health & Safety Network; Diane
Watson, South Whidbey School District; and Carol McNeil, Nursing Supervisor and
Deputy Director, Island County Health Department, all were present to express
support for the grant application and project.
Mr. McIntyre described
the project as one that attempts to meet the
needs of a number of groups. For
example, seniors working with youth to
help youth in tutoring, but the reverse is true as well, youth tutoring
seniors, especially regarding computers.
He envisioned the new center would serve as the Senior Center on
South Whidbey, with administrative offices and a larger kitchen facility
maintained at what is now the Bayview Senior Center. Between 1996 and 2020 the number of seniors on South Whidbey is expected to increase 2-1/.2 times.
One of the pieces of
information from the pre-application page 3 that caught the attention of Commissioner Shelton was the fact
that 51% of Island County seniors
living in South Whidbey have incomes below $19,300. Also of note is that the South Whidbey Youth Center serves from
400 to 500 youth, and that 80 to 90% are
low to moderate income.
Ms. McLaughlin
commented this pre-application came as a result of follow-on work from the
Youth and Family Summit. She stressed
the fact that this is to be a community
planning project made as a result of
the community making decisions.
Ms. Watson talked about the significant role the
parks and recreation district had taken in all of this; all the work being done
on the project continues a long
tradition on South Whidbey of a
number of groups and entities working for schools and families and
attested to the needs of families and children who are struggling.
By unanimous
motion, the Board approved
Ordinance #C-60-00 (R-26-00) in the matter of applying for a Community Development Planning Only Block Grant for an Intergenerational Neighborhood Center on
South Whidbey.
