Chair Aitken noted that last year Joe provided a list of questions that would be helpful when the
Board Member visits their agency and asked him to do so again. She also stated that she would
like to have reports back from the Board Members and asked them to notify Joe as to which
meeting they would like to report on their visits. Board Member Trifa asked if she could have the
list of agencies and their contact information sent to her; Joe indicated that he would forward
agency contact information to the entire Board.
B. FY 2013-2014 Public Service Funding Process:
1. Funding Recommendation: Board Member Rubalcava stated that she feels that since the lowest
funding level is likely to be used, that the Board should consider funding the swimming lessons
over the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. Chair Aitken noted that the Board struggled with
that decision but noted that the Board already voted to approve the funding recommendation in its
entirety. Board Member Murphy suggested that the coloring on the graph might be changed with
green being the most desired funding level. Joe stated he would be happy to change the funded
columns to the desired colors and that colors were originally chosen randomly.
