This approves the submission of an application for a Comprehensive Planning Assistance Grant from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The purpose of applying for Federal funds to support the deveIopment of the Community Planning and Management System is a recognition ~that a void exists in our ability to identify and provide for our citizens' needs. Portsmouth is confronted with a myriad of potential action programs from all levels of government as well as from the private sector. Each program addresses a single aspect of what is really a complex,~ interrelated problem. We believe that if the City Governments are ever to enhance their capabilities to prudently handle revenue-sharing (or-even block granting), they must establish a systematic, annual process to assess all citizen needs. It is necessary to relate these needs to each other and develop balanced, comprehensive families of programs to effectuate remedial actions. This application requests Federal funds in the amount of $150,000 to accomplish this study over a three-year period. The City will support its one-third cost in this study through in-kind services."
