Funding Recommendation: Joe reported to the Board that Community Development forwarded the final funding allocation that will be available for non-profit agencies for FY 2013-2014, which amounts to $247,000 and correlates to a per-agency cap of $49,400 (20% of total allocation). In addition, Community Development determined that Illumination Foundatio Project qualifies under the Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funding area because it is a homeless s consideration. In addition, Joe noted that Chair Aitken and Vice-Chair Henninger recently completed individual meetings with the Mayor and City Council, and he asked Vice-Chair Henninger to elaborate. Vice-Chair Henninger reported that Council members were all supportive of the work the Board does and the recommendations made to this point. They also would like the Board to take another look at recommendations for Access California Services and Boys & Girls Clubs of Anaheim, to see if there is a possibility to increase funding levels for those agencies. The Mayor specifically noted that he was concerned that perhaps the Board had not recommended funding for Eli Home because they had pulled their application the previous year. Chair Aitken and Vice-Chair Henninger assured the Mayor that reasons for not funding Eli Home were completely separate from that. Joe added that the Mayor and Council Members were in accord with the funding guidelines as submitted and did not ask for changes, i.e., the 20% funding cap, $10,000 minimum grant application and ability to be able to fund new programs, if funds are available. Vice- homeless services, that leaves $15,500 gap from the lowest funding recommendation previously approved by the Board, or Level 3 funding. Joe noted that Community SeniorServ currently is approved at the lowest funding level for $55,500, which is above the 20% funding cap. After discussion, the Board decided they would prefer to take funding from the Homemaking and Personal Care program rather than the Congregate and Home Meals program; as it is now the only home-delivered meal program for seniors in the city. They also decided they would recommend cutting the proposed funding to Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a new agency, to help reach the $247,000 funding level, which left $4,500 to be redistributed to existing agencies. They discussed at length what they felt would be the best use of the funds and decided to distribute them between the SeniorServ meals program, Boys & Girls Club of Anaheim and Access California Services. Board Member Murphy made a motion to recommend funding the following agencies/amounts: Acacia Adult Day Services $ 10,000 Access California Services $ 16,000 AIDS Services Foundation $ 22,000 Anaheim Family YMCA / $ 13,000 Anaheim Family YMCA / Youth Sports $ 10,000 Boys & Girls Clubs of Anaheim $ 46,000 Community SeniorServ / Congregate Meal Program $ 48,000 Council on Aging OC $ 22,000 Illumination Foundation / Medical Assistant Program $ 10,000 Learning Light Foundation / Adult Development Program $ 10,000 Lestonnac Free Clinic $ 10,000 Mariposa Women & Family Center $ 15,000 YWCA / Youth Employment Services $ 15,000 Community Services Board March 14, 2013 Page 3 Vice-Chair Henninger asked for a second to the motion; Board Member Trifa made the second and the motion passed with five ayes and an abstention from Board Member Baeza. Vice-Chair Henninger reported that this funding recommendation will be forwarded to CDAC, where it will be voted on as a component of the entire CDBG Funding package to the City, at their next regular meeting scheduled for April 11 at 5:30 p.m. Since that is the date of the next Community Services Board meeting, either Chair Aitken or he will attend that meeting. The full CDAC recommendation for CDBG funding is expected to be presented to City Council on April 30. Joe noted that he will be sending letters to all 21 agencies notifying them of the funding recommendations and the date and time of the CDAC meeting in case they would like to speak in support of or in opposition to the funding recommendations. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 8. : Joe announced that the FY 2014/2015 non-profit funding cycle will begin soon; he will be sending out the applications for suggestions or comments from the Board Members and the timeline before the next meeting.

Joe noted he will be sending an invitation to the Board for that presentation. Vice-Chair Henninger asked if it would be possible for a presentation to be made at a th Board meeting since he and others will not be able to attend on the 25. Joe confirmed that he would program this presentation but suggested waiting until after the mid-year reports have been completed as the agenda is quite full for the next few months.
