Joe introduced Stephen Stoewer, Community and Economic Development Department Senior Project
Manager, to the Board. Stephen presented a performance report of the non-profit agencies that received
funding in FY2015/2016. The report outlined the funding spent/unspent and program goals that were
achieved by the end of the fiscal year. Vice Chair Murphy and the Board agreed that the information
provided was extremely valuable and requested this information be integrated as a component of the
Community Services Board's funding recommendation process. City staff agreed to incorporate this
performance report in the CDBG funding process.
Vice Chair Murphy asked Board Members if they were interested in hosting a funding subcommittee to
begin the allocation process. Board Members were not interested in establishing a funding sub -committee.
It was agreed by the entire Board that all funding discussion and deliberations take place at the regularly
scheduled Board meeting.
INFORMATIONAL ITEMS:
Joe reminded Board Members that the amount of funding available to non -profits for FY2017/2018 is
$292,980; the current amount allocated this fiscal year. Joe indicated that he would send out a funding
spreadsheet for the Board to begin their work of allocating these funds based on their review of the applications
and oral presentations made by non-profit agencies. Joe also reminded the Board that funding allocations
should be distributed equally to address the three Human Services focus areas; youth, senior citizens and family
services that include immigrant, refugees, and the developmentally disabled populations.
