Order adopt an amendment to Chapter 6, Article 6, Section 6.68, Appendices A-C of the Falmouth Town Ordinance that will change maximum levels of income and expenses for the General Assistance program.
ACTION: Council action is anticipated. |
Summary: |
General Assistance Maximums are outlined in Chapter 6, Section 6.68, Appendices A-H of the Falmouth Town Ordinance. Appendices A, B, and C outline the overall maximums, food maximums, and housing maximums respectively. These levels are established as a matter of state law based on certain federal values that are made effective on the first day of October each year and therefore must be adopted by the Town Council annually.
At the last Council meeting, Chair Payne requested some information regarding the amount of GA funds paid in recent years. A spreadsheet containing that information is attached. |
