A. Welcome
Mr. Mike Akerlow welcomed the CDCIP Members and thanked them for their willingness to
contribute to the Board.
B. Process Feedback
Ms. McGrath gave feedback on the Nano Sessions. She stated that it was necessary to have two
people as a team, whether it be two board members or have City staff help the board members.
She stated that with the time given for each agency at each table, there was not enough time to
open the application in ZoomGrants and add the comments. She stated that one more minute
with each agency could be valuable, and that if needed she would be open to splitting the Nano
Sessions into two weeks. Ms. Bjornstad stated agencies with multiple applications should get
more time because there was not adequate time to discuss all applications or to put comments on
each application in ZoomGrants. Mr. Sarver stated that there was not enough time per agency
that had multiple applications; he stated having a question at each table was very helpful and that
having a few bonus questions would be helpful. Mr. Sarver explained a potential question he
thought would be helpful was; is this a new program or an expansion of program, or maintaining
a program? Ms. Hagen stated that a 10 point scale instead of a 5 point scale would help with the
gaps in the scoring.
C. Consolidated Plan
Ms. Schumann provided a review of the Consolidated Plan objectives. Ms. Schumann also
encouraged the Board to ft,ind applications that moved the goals of the ConPlan forward in a
significant way.
D. Outreach Review
Ms. Schumann summarized community engagement efforts.
E. Scoring Review
Ms. Schumann presented each funding source and reviewed the applicants, the requested
amount, and the average funding recommended by the Board. Ms. Schumann discussed the gaps
in service that resulted fi-om the original scoring process. She specifically referred to a gap in
funding for Transportation services. There was an open discussion regarding the scoring and
funding levels for the 17-18 applications for ESG and CDBG. The Board deliberated over two
applications submitted by The Road Home for St. Vincents Overflow Shelter. The Board
discussed balancing the dollar amount requested for these applications with the total dollar
amount available. Ms. McGrath stated the Board should not vote on programs based on their
personal views,but instead vote based on the gaps in funding and where the community voiced
their needs. The Board wished to convey to future reviewers (i.e. the Mayor and Council) the
difficulty of scoring so many worthy applications.
