HUMAN SERVICES DEFtNITION AND CtTY ROLES , Karen and Terry Higashiyama met with the Mayor and Jay Covington last week far guidance and clarity of the administration's goals far providing human services for the citizens of Renton. The - administratian is concerned with taking care of the City's residents and doesn't want the city to become°a magnet that attracts people from outside the city because of our services. They feel the city should act more as a clearing house that directs people and assets to available resources and services; not as a provider of services. The questions were asked, "Are we spreading our dollars too thinly?" "Should the city direcfi more dotlars to fewer services?" , The Administration has targeted certain human categories as"priority populations"—Seniors, , disabled individuals,youth anci families—as targeted areas of concern. .
