The City has dedicated General Funds to supplement federal funds to ensure that local critical human service needs are provided to the community. The task before the commission is to review the 19 applications and consider funding recommendations for City Council approval. Staff recommends that the commission develop a funding recommendation for the City Council based on staff’s proposed funding allocations which include the following considerations: • Individual commissioner evaluation of projects (e.g. based on the scoring tools used in ZoomGrants, incorporating the established HHSG project review criteria) • Testimony and discussion at the March 6, 2024, commission meeting • Other information as applicable. Staff will have an electronically displayed spreadsheet available at the meeting to facilitate adjustments to the funding allocation during discussions.
