ITEM:
Discussion on any and all matters regarding the construction of a domestic violence shelter in the City of San Luis. (Council Member Maria Cecilia Ramos and John Starkey, Planning & Zoning Director)
SUMMARY:
Council Member Maria Cecilia Ramos requested that this item be placed on the Agenda for discussion at the Work Session for December 7, 2016. The South Yuma County Domestic Violence Coalition and Pueblo Housing & Community Development, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, are working together to address domestic violence in the City of San Luis. The goal is to build homes for fundraising purposes. At this time, they have reserved a lot, and they have an agreement with a general contractor to provide services at cost, and they are seeking out subcontractors and realtors to provide their services at cost. As is already known, the grant funds are scarce. Therefore, they hope to raise the matching (down payment) funds to acquire the bank loan to build a future multi-unit location to serve those going through domestic violence. They are requesting support from the City Council to waive permits, connection fees, inspection fees, development fees, impact fees and plan review. With your commitment and support we will address domestic violence that is currently on the rise in our community.
