1 am corresponding at this time in reference to the 2001-02 Community
Developmant Block Grant as issued to the Port Cities Rescue Mission Ministries for
the period of June 2001 and concluding in May 2002.
As you may be aware of, the Mission recently sustained heavy fire damage to
its kitchen and dining area on October 17, we am feverishly trying to have the work
completed by January 15, 2002. The Community as a whole has responded well in
our time of need to insure that none of our residents have gone without a meal or
services.
With this in mind, we are seeking your permission to insert and amend the
contract to include the purchase of apphances to replace those lost in the fire and
upgrade to meet city code. I have taken the liberty of enclosing throe (3) bids for each
of these much-needed items. The Mission continues to serve over 4000 meals a
month and the numbers are growing. Under this plan, we would hke to charge off
the remaining balance of $11,617.21 of our existing allocation to purchase the
appliances. I appreciate your assistance in t,his and look forward to a favorable reply
to our request. If additional information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact
my office at 982-0202.
Once again, thank you for all you have done to help us help the homeless and
needy of our community.
