City Seeks Public Comment on Human Services - February 25, 2008
PITTSFIELD – The Pittsfield Human Services Advisory Council (HSAC) is holding a public hearing on Thursday, Feb. 28 at 7:00 p.m. in Pittsfield’s City Hall Council Chambers where residents are encouraged to attend to discuss the human services needs in the city.
According to HSAC Chairman Daniel Allen, “We want to give the public an opportunity to meet with us directly so that they can describe what their human service needs are and what agencies they turn to when needing assistance.” The HSAC will use the information to help them prepare funding recommendations for human service programs for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2008.
“I strongly urge residents to attend this hearing and help the City better understand the community’s needs,” said Mayor James M. Ruberto. “This hearing will allow us to prioritize our services, and help us continue to be more efficient in serving the citizens of Pittsfield.”
This meeting is part of a multi-month process undertaken annually by the HSAC that culminates in recommendations being made to Mayor Ruberto and the City Council. Last year's recommendations resulted in 36 human service programs receiving a total of $444,000 from City general funds and federal Community Development Block Grant Program money.
Pittsfield City Hall is wheelchair accessible. Anyone not able to attend the meeting may submit comments, orally or in writing, to the Pittsfield Department of Community Development, 70 Allen St., Pittsfield, MA 01201 or by phone at 413.499.9450 (teletype 413.499.9340). |
