COMMUNITY ACTION COUNCIL The City Manager spoke in com~ ecti0n with the Community Action Council's request for financial assistance from the Cit. y of Santa Ana. He stated that the Community Action Council in Orange County has two problems confronting them: the lack of money to do many things they felt were a portion of their obligation; and they felt it was necessary to put a considerable p©¢tion of their money together to make certain investigative reports and analyses in order to make possible the expansion, increasing the effectiveness of their program, and to Obtain further funding from the Federal government for such program. In view of these circum- stances, they would not be able to support all of the costs of the Community Centers (Logan, Delhi and one in the Southwest Central Area) which have been supported and operated by the Community Action Council in the City of Santa Aha.

He:Stated the Community Action Council is requesting approxi~nately $10,000 on an annual basis. Further discussion concerned the total revenue required, other sources of income, the Community Action Council's relation to the City's Community Relations organization, and possible methods of contribution if the assistance is approved.
