Linda McKeever from Open Heart Kitchen discussed the growth of OHK programs and the number of people being served. She advised that while additional funding would be welcome, OHK would prefer the Commission consider funding YMCA programs this year, but reconsider the projected growth in needs for OHK's services when funding allocations are being considered next year. Commissioner Rowland indicated she would consider lowering the staff funding recommendation for Hope Hospice if it would help retain the Meals on Wheel program. Mr. Erickson noted that the staff recommendation of $5,000 has traditionally been held as the minimum grant amount because anything less is generally burdensome both for agencies and staff in terms of administration and relative benefit. Commissioner Hayes discussed the lesser amount of funding being requested by Legal Assistance for Seniors as compared to last year. She was advised that LAS appreciates her concern but was satisfied with the staff recommendation for the coming year. However, they expect that the numbers served will be higher than anticipated in the grant application.
