Mr. Erickson provided clarification about the amounts of funding for public services versus capital and rehab projects and the restrictions for the categories. Chairperson Rowland asked about the ranking of recommendation in Alternatives A and B, and Commissioner Nagler noted that in Alternative B, more recommendations were below what had been recommended by the Commission in ZoomGrants, and that his preference would be to recommend Alternative A. Mr. Erickson provided information about the differences in rankings. Commissioner Lambert questioned whether the Commission should again identify and set aside funds for a specific project or for needed programs. Chairperson Rowland suggested the thought be held until later in the meeting. Commissioner Jhanwar agreed with Commissioner Nagler's comments, but thought the Commission needed to look at how best to rank the funding requests in Alternative A. Commissioners Lambert, Wilson, Berger and Roby were all in favor of funding recommendations outlined in Alternative B. Mr. Erickson provided information on how percentages were achieved by staff in the recommendations. Chairperson Rowland was happy about funding agency projects, and Commissioner Wright thought it was important that Commissioners look carefully at the projects when making their decisions. Mr. Erickson provided information about funding for the capital and rehab projects. Ms. Andrade-Wax suggested the Commission consider making a separate motion to approve funding for those projects.
