Ms. Carson advised new Committee members that scoring is quite subjective which is why we have a group of
Committee members all scoring.With that mind, she advised new members themselves to score in a consistent
matter throughout the entire process.
Vice Chairperson Anjewierden also advised new members that one of the important priorities of the Committee
is the equitable distribution of funds. During previous phases,the Committee has scored applications and
discussed the equitable distribution of funds at the end of a phase once all scores are in.
Mr.Wessel asked about applicant RCGA-oo059670 who said they received$2ok in EIDL funding to pay for
one month's payroll,but the application also said the business has one employee. Mr.Wessel was confused if
the business is a sole-proprietorship or has more than one employee. Ms. Rigby responded that their
application states that they had 1 employee both before and after the pandemic, so she was under the
impression that the business had an additional employee in addition to the owner.
Mr.Wessel asked about applicant RCGA-00062764,who said they received an EIDL loan that went partially
towards vehicle repair and the rest($1ok)was put in the bank. He wondered if the applicant had a pressing
need for funding if they put previous grant funding into savings.Vice Chairperson Anjewierden noted that the
$1ok in the bank could have been a sentence that was included in the applicant's previous Phase 1 application,
and the $1ok could have already been spent by now. Mr.Andersen confirmed that the mention of the $1ok
saved in the bank was also in the applicant's Phase 1 application.Ms. Rigby noted that EIDL loan funding could
have requirements (much like ARPA)on what recipients can spend the money on.Vice Chairperson
Anjewierden asked for staff to confirm the applicant is a Salt Lake City business, as their application focused on
work done outside the City. Ms. Rigby said staff could reach out to the applicant for clarification on these
questions and notify Committee members of the applicant's response.
2. Briefing on Upcoming Week's Small Business Applications
Ms. Rigby said that the next batch of applications would be increased to ten and the scoring would remain open
for all applications throughout this Phase. She urged Committee members to not fall too far behind with their
scoring without notifying staff.
3. Other Business
Ms. Rigby said that the transmittal for the previous phase of nonprofit subrecipients was being prepared to
send to Council.With all those scores now recorded,the top scorers did change slightly. Staff will supply the
Committee with results of the nonprofit subrecipient phase after it is submitted to Council.
4. Adjourn
There being no further business,the meeting was adjourned.
