- because we have these two in red and we have a kind of big disparity or a big difference between these.
- But anybody like to go and say why they wanted to score it the way that they did. I think, again, me
- personally, kind of like I've done in years past is food, clothing, shelter. And that was the reason
- why I did that.
- Yes, if we're going to send the Cheryl Monson fund to Harrodsburg, then I would remove my support there,
- which I don't know if that would help with Amethyst's support because I would remove my support from
- Harrodsburg Festival and I would put it with Amethyst. How much did you have there? Maybe that's where
- we need to start. Maybe we need to decide where you want to use
- that $3,000 and then just remove that from the list and that adds to everything. So there was
- the Harrodsburg, there was Girls Inc and then Grace Center. And does that give you the solution there,
- three with 3,000, divide it and then look or if you just take that
- into thirds, I'm not sure. Well, but some of them weren't requesting all that much, you know what I
- mean? They're still incorporating the request, 5,000. So Harrisburg wanted $4,500 to allow all the rides
- free for the carnival. Right. What did we say? Girls Inc. was $7,500.
- and Grace Center was 6,000. So we could give 1,000 to each. Or you could maybe, what if you did 1,250
- for Spiritsburg and, pardon me, 1,250 for Girls Inc.
- and grace, and then that would leave. Yeah. Is that right? No, that's. Yeah, that's 3000. Yeah, so.
- I'm just spitballing there, but I didn't. I have a question before we get started.
- And this is kind of a request, because I'm new and my brain works a little bit differently. But before
- we get to the 3,000 from the Cheryl Munson, because I think we all kind of agree where we'd like for
- that to go, can we go through these line items a little bit? Because when they were giving
- their presentations, some things were clarified. It really didn't really change my mind, but I got some
- more information. So when I was weighing on, do I cut this or do I cut this? Now I feel like I have
- a little bit better information, so maybe we can
- fiddle with our numbers a little bit to where we could get that to go. If we allocate Cheryl's, then
- we have 3,000, and then we could start the conversation at the top and say, we got the 3,000. Well,
- the reason I don't want to is because I have, with my job, and this is another reason why I wanted to
- join this committee. With my job, I know a lot about these agencies, and this is one of them, which
- is why I only gave them $2,000. And so maybe if I can explain a little bit,
- maybe for some information you guys don't know, it might persuade you guys a little bit. So like with
- Amethyst, for example, Amethyst House, when you move into Amethyst House, which they're asking for...
- Well, excuse me. Sure. We had to move to Allocate.
- I would move that we allocate and free at 3,000 and then we start the discussions, because I really
- would like to allocate Sheryl's so that we have 3,000 and then we could discuss each individual agency
- and then we could decide, do we allocate more to Amherst? Because that's a separate conversation versus
- allocating. Sure. And I think I hear both points. And I do think that, hmm.
- It just keeps us from moving the whole, it gives us 3000 that we can reallocate as we go through the
- discussions. Well, I think with the committee, and I'm looking to you as vice chair as well, would it
- be fine if we highlight the ones first that were the red ones and then we can maybe kind of
- What am I trying to say here? I need some help. Because going through individually for everything would
- take a while for us to do that. But if there are specific ones that people had, because if we're in
- green, it feels like we're in
- in unison or at least all around the same page for that. But I think if we are in the orange and the
- red, those are definitely some things that we need to talk about. So maybe we have the larger conversation
- and then come back to figuring out where we could do the 3,000, would that be okay? That's fine with
- me. I just want to get a chance to explain before we allocate money when we might
- very well, which I have a tinnitus, I believe, we may go back at the very end and end up not even. Yeah,
- I mean, I can understand that. Let's say we did it. Uh-huh. Would we be able to go back and undo it?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah. OK. Oh, yeah. I think it's concrete. No, exactly. OK, so. Exactly. Until we get to 174,000.
- and then the additional three things. I'm fine as long as we can continue to adjust it based on the
- things we may talk about. Of course, yeah, because the goal is for here, after we all leave, that we
- know which agencies get what. And so I think the conversations that we should have
- really kind of zone in is focusing on the ones that are like blaringly red, which is amethyst beacon.
- And then there was some other ones. Yes. I think what I would like to, if it's okay, I'm going to change
- this to 177 because that would include the three. Yeah. Okay. Let's do that. And then we do that and
- we scroll down here.
- Now we're under at the rounded average. Yes. Now we're under. But we just need to make sure that you
- include that 3,000 somewhere. OK. OK. And what do I, like I didn't do another 7,000. Do I have to have
- any other input on that? Yeah. All right. So do you guys feel the need, you need these three columns
- right here?
- What's it going to do for us? Well, that's what I'm asking. It's just showing you the max and minimum
- in the in mode, but you know the middle. I guess. Yeah, that way we can get everything on the screen.
- So that I think the biggest thing is, let's see what the agency requested all of us as committee members
- proposed and then average in the final recommendations that might help you. OK, OK, OK, alright, so.
- OK, so later all right. So now we can dive back into amethyst and so. Just to proceed with what you
- were saying, so just to give everybody kind of a perspective of where I come from from this is. I agree
- with you when you were talking about food, clothing, shelter, things like that. However, I also looked
- at funding sources, so whenever I feel like some of these these
- bigger agencies have alternative funding sources where some of these smaller agencies do not. We are
- probably one of their primary funding sources. I weighed that heavy as well. So when you have amethyst,
- you have a mental health certified agency that does receive grants and they receive funding from the
- treatment community. So if somebody's going into treatment and inpatient treatment, which amethyst
- house is not considered inpatient treatment, but because they're connected to Amethyst and they do groups
- and they do meetings in there, we, with the community justice building, we
- consider that treatment. And so if somebody, there's what's called Recovery Works grant money, we send
- our people, we sign our people up for it all the time. It's like 25, they get $2,500 that goes towards
- expenses toward inpatient treatment. And a lot of times when they go into these inpatient places or
- they're getting ready to come out of an inpatient place into a sober house or another sober living center,
- they will request those funds
- for each individual person living in that home to get. Also too, Amethyst House requires their participants
- to work and they assist them with signing up for food stamps and social services so they can get food
- stamp cards so they can
- use that toward their food in there too. So that's why I cut that back down to 2000. My thought on it
- was they probably do need a certain amount of food and staples in there for when somebody's coming,
- which happens every day, right out of the jail, straight to Amicus after they see the probation department
- first. They probably need some of that for a week or so, but most of the participants are able to pay,
- they have to pay to live there. And if they're eligible for Recovery Works grants, they get that money
- and it goes toward
- their stay at Amethyst, Amethyst gets that money. And they also have, you know, the opportunity to file
- for food stamps and stuff to get their food stamp card that they can use for food there, which is why
- I cut that back down to two. Okay. That's good to know. Thank you. All right. Does anybody else have
- anything to add about their decision for Amethyst? Great.
- Does that impact anybody's decision, right? I mean, are we staying the same? I like to keep mine the
- same. Yeah. I'm going to put a pin in it until we kind of go further because there's something else
- because I feel like I can, you know, I really was looking forward to this because I could maybe make
- my decision based upon something else of what other people were thinking if they were around the same
- as me. So, okay.
- Okay, so moving on to Beacon. I can talk today. Looks like we had a little bit of a, we were kind of
- all over there. And so again, same thing for me is food, clothing, shelter. But does anybody else want
- to add to their decisions as to why they did what they did for Beacon?
- Yes. So the reason I voted to not to allocate any money from the Sophia Travis grant is because again,
- this is a very large agency that receives lots of donors, lots of volunteers. I mean, Beacon is a huge
- organization. I believe Beacon runs Friends Place and the Shalom Center. And each one of those agencies
- have individual sponsors as well. So again, when I looked at this, I looked at the need, obviously,
- but I also looked at agents
- you know, some of these agencies that get a lot of funding sources and have a lot of volunteers and
- they have a lot of donors out there where some of these smaller ones don't, which is why I didn't allocate
- Beacon any money. Okay, that's understandable. And that was also something that was playing in the back
- of my brain too. I allocated it fully because to my main thinking, we know that there are some changes
- happening with Beacon and they ask for infrastructure.
- which can be hard money to obtain. And it felt to me under safety, having safety and shelter. Like,
- you know, I think of safety and shelter and then food and then clothing similar to you. And that fell
- into my high priority safety and shelter. The vets have to be there so they're safe, they're in a shelter.
- And I think it would be a harder thing for them to get that support elsewhere. So that's why I fully
- funded that. Okay. Anybody else?
- Okay. So does anybody feel that you need to actually we can just keep going and then after that maybe
- we can come back. Okay. All the red ones first. Yeah. So that one was that limestone. Oh yeah. Oh boy.
- I did zero. Yeah. On that one. I just
- I tried really hard and I get it. I understand a little bit about media as my media background and my
- significant other also as background in media. So I understand how I was trying to weigh in and think
- about all the things related to what's happening in the small groups that are really trying to do some
- stuff, how they are also underfunded as well too.
- I just personally looked at there are other things that I just thought should get some other funding.
- And this is the one where they said that they were going to highlight the agencies. And I kind of was
- like, I don't see that in my eyes, but what we should be doing. Yeah. And I get like, I was, I was like, ah, so,
- I kind of wanted to see what everybody else did before I decided to change my mind on that.
- So that was me. I agree 100%. That's why I did what I did. It was for advertising and I didn't feel
- like that was promoting agencies, I thought. That is not on our criteria list to consider funding for
- is in my mind. It's not in the mission. Now Trent, do you want to explain?
- I always, given local conditions on journalism, I always appreciate that. However, I could, for the
- sake of this, I'm not fazed in any way if that turns out to be a zero. In fact, I will go ahead and
- ask that mine lower down to zero given all the other conditions there.
- Did you feel like they meet the criteria from the list we're working with? I felt like it did, but if
- you notice- In what way, though, can you explain? Well, just, again, I think bringing attention to the
- agencies with a media source that's hitting some local income people that will then see that and go,
- oh, I never knew about Middle Way House. I mean, if you think about it, most of our not-for-profit community relies on
- I'm gonna say this here, but they rely on attention that sometimes can get very popular and faddish,
- and an appearance in a beacon or limestone, that becomes kind of a yearbook type moment. And so I can
- see that, but given the balance of problems, I don't sweat too hard about taking that down to zero.
- I do need to mention, I have three that I recuse myself from. I don't want anyone out there to think
- that- Yeah, I need to recuse myself too. Not to that yet, but I will when it's time. Yeah, so whenever
- that's time, I'll be happy to list that. I just noticed in the formula when we took
- down to zero, then there's now a negative $20. I think from last year's formula, there is a negative
- 20 all across. And I think if I recall right, when we were doing this, we were trying to keep the amounts
- and then divide the difference between all of them. So I'm going to fix that formula so we may not be
- I'm not in trouble. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- So as we have taken that, so based on that, we have spent, we still have, according to this, $940 that
- you can spend. Is it because I just took off? No, if you, so let's go back up, what was that one?
- So we had 3,000. Limestone. That's because there was a negative $20 that the corn mill was wrong.
- So, and I changed this to 177, but see, Councilor Feidl hasn't spent all of hers. So, there's gonna
- have to be some tweaking in there. So, which one was that? The, I don't know. Lime stone. Lime stone.
- So, if I put his back, you know,
- That means instead of that, it would be like $380, you know, kind of thing. And what the average would
- be. Yeah, so that's, so now we've ended up, yeah. But now we're taking it out. Yeah. He wants to take
- it out, so. Yeah, and I'm just saying, so. I would take it. We're more in the positive than what we
- actually thought we were, but. And it's gonna be more positive, because I realize. Yeah.
- So there's something else that I need to. Okay, so thank you for. So now it's fixed. For trying to think
- as a, you know. It's so good. It fixed it, right? Yeah, it's fixed now. So we had the other red was
- limestone, right?
- that we were just established. Yeah, that was this one. Do we have another red? We may have more because
- I removed some $20 thing, so I didn't want to make sure. So now we have a red one with this. Absolutely.
- Okay. So let me... Whoops. And before we get to Eclipse,
- Can you zero out my line for Constellation? I realize I put that in there by accident. I should not
- be allocating anything with Constellation because my husband is on the board. Well, I'm on the board.
- Should I take myself off of that one? On Constellation? No, not on that one. I'm encouraged to change.
- I wrote down I want no vote, but I didn't know if I needed to put money or not money. So I didn't put
- money on my recusals.
- Okay, well, I did, so I figured you'd take that home. Can you just take a second to list any recusals
- we had? All right, so I'll start. Can you go down to the S's, please, because I want to make sure I
- say this one right, and I sometimes turn my words around as you want to. Oh, um, bro, um, bro, what
- are they doing? Sobre mesa. Sobre mesa. I'm going to recuse myself on that because they partnered with
- the Rural Center. My wife is now the interim director there. I'm also going to recuse myself on two
- for Community Kitchen, which I dearly love, but she's on their board.
- It's all my wife's good doing that keeps me from voting on those three, so that's it. Thanks, Kyla,
- good job. Community Kitchen, there's two, and Sober Mesa. Sober Mesa, and two Community Kitchens, and
- then we have
- It is. I'm on a board for courage to change. So I need to take that down to zero then probably, right?
- Well, Molly, are you available for a quick question? Well, Trent took his down to zero. I know.
- I want to, before we get any farther, I want to make sure. So Trent has me.
- with current installation. Does anybody else have any? Maybe instead of taking it down to zero, you
- put an X in it, it would still allow the formulas to calculate an average. I can't use my mic as an
- attendee. So she needs to be promoted. No, it's, I think. TSC, can you promote Molly, please?
- Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
- and or should they refuse? I don't think we've addressed this before in like the resolution so I think
- it would be whatever like if the individual committee member is identifying they have a conflict I think
- it's up to them on what they should do I would just suggest that everyone like for consistency everyone
- is doing the same thing.
- Okay, well I'm fine with taking mine off. I am too. Okay. All right, so then, so I was suggesting that
- if you should an X instead of a zero, it might still, it would maybe take it out of the formula and
- still let it average. I'm not sure, so it might. Which one was it? Mine is encouraged to change.
- Did I do it? Okay. Mine should already be.
- Yeah, these years have already worked. Mine should change. Mine should be zero now. Okay, so whatever
- it's going to be. I didn't think it would. Yeah. I think it just needs to be blank. Yeah, it's going
- to be blank zero when it comes up a minus. Yeah. No, that's just telling you that it is a hash mark there.
- Yes, but because of the, it's the way that it is formulated, not that it's a negative. It's just like
- a place mark. It's just a place mark. Exactly. Yeah. So it's zero. Yeah. Cause up there it shows zero.
- It says zero. Okay. All right. So we got that and then we got constellation zero. I'm zeroed out. Yeah.
- OK, so Liz is zeroed out, encouraged to smear James, Jen is constellation, Trent. OK, so Trent, I think.
- Should be good. Community kitchen. Two community kitchens for Trent. Yeah, and he's already gone. OK,
- and then so Vanessa is the last one. Does anybody else have any? OK, that's all I have. OK, cool. Look
- at us being honest, Aves. I like you. So, Jen.
- Can we now go back to Eclipse that has a red? Yes. Ooh, anybody? I personally, I like the spirit of
- where this was going. I just felt like this is not the ask for Sophia Travis because it was given a
- stipend to their part of people, which I did, I appreciate, but I didn't know.
- That was my reason. Anybody else? I agree with you. Since I'm one of the ones that did, I'm okay to
- lower mine again like I did with the previous to kind of keep with the spirit of that. Are you changing
- it to zero? Yeah.
- And I gave them $1,000 just because I liked the whole spirit of what they were doing. And again, when
- you have these kind of agencies and they're doing resources for kids, I gave them $1,000. I was going
- to say, no, according to this, you have a zero. Oh, there it is. OK, yeah, never mind. I'm looking at
- this. I'm sorry. We'll help you pick this up. Thank you.
- not mean to be mean. I appreciate it. Okay so I think maybe I made a note on here like funding non-stifin
- expenses only because I did like the spirit of it but but I don't know that I actually looked at how much
- their non-stipend board expenses for the entire year. That was the hard part. Because I got that right
- before you. Well, they were asking for about a third of the total that they were asking for total. They
- were asking for us for about a third of the total. Let's see. Stipends was $10,250. Costumes, rights,
- money. That's what they're asking for. It's $10,250. Now, you can lower me because there's really not
- anything here
- I mean, I think they were only asking for 10-250, right? Right. Yeah. So I'm going to go to zero on
- that too, because I don't think we should fund stipend. Yes. Okay. So we are now in agreement it gives
- us more money to go back. Okay. Okay. Good conversation. See, that's why I was waiting. I always like
- this thing. The next red one is hands full of hope.
- Oh, is that the clothing one? I was a little weirded out by this one, if I can be honest. It was like,
- what is the point? We have a lot of agencies that have clothing. Yeah, and I guess
- This is the box truck lunch. Yeah. Yeah. Pre-owned box truck. I was like, I'm going to wait. I zeroed
- it out because I wanted to wait for everybody else to make their comments and figure out what they thought.
- Yeah. I think I zeroed mine out too. Yes. So this is an individual that is going to do this with their spouse.
- They have an office at the mill as their nonprofit. The budget to me was unrealistic and the services
- are duplicated. We have so many places where we have socks and undies that are handed out in all the
- schools, vouchers that go to Salvation Army and Goodwill, and all of our other agencies. So I really
- felt like I would rather increase another agency that is maybe doing clothing.
- So I didn't see it as realistic. Well, and I wasn't comfortable with the used vehicle. I mean, who knows
- what kind of trouble you get into there.
- I think insurance and the budget. So I really felt like this person has another endeavor that they're
- trying to do. And I think that I want to encourage them to really get involved with our community because
- their services are somewhat duplicated. And I think that a tie into an agency that speaks to them, they
- would be a really powerful volunteer with us. So I want to encourage them to get more involved. I understand.
- So where are we at with that one then? Okay, so we have 1,000 and then 2,500. I also was not as hot
- on this because again, I do, I sometimes worry about duplication of things that there's not like a solid
- reason why. That said, I went with an amount because I kind of saw as an organization trying to figure
- out some solid footing on kind of what that looks like. So that's kind of,
- What was my rationale for that? But again, I had some very similar thoughts about that. So did I.
- I mean, I agree with Trent. That's kind of what I did. I didn't want to not give him anything. Right.
- Because I know there are a lot of duplicates out in the community. But at the same time, I look at it
- again as an agency that probably doesn't have a lot of funding sources. So we can fund them to get them
- started with something. That's why I gave them something. Well, this is their...
- is their idea for their agency. There's nothing else beyond this. It's relevant. Yeah. They have another
- thing that they're doing, but it's not related to this. So I kind of Google the people and said,
- who are you? Where are you? And this was one that was at the middle, which made me curious. And so it
- looked to me like it was an individual that had joined our community somewhat in the last few years,
- maybe done student work here or something. So that's why I was just like,
- get to know us. There's lots of places to have to plug in. So yeah, yeah, there's lots of places that
- somebody in the front step to send this very same thing could be plugged into somewhere else. Yes,
- and yeah, that already has infrastructure to play. So I'm not. I'm not stuck on that amount. I just
- felt like I would put something there so that's something that if we're if we're getting low on or we
- can't come to an agreement on the whole 174,000 and I can I can adjust my amount. Likewise, and can
- I think that their sock
- and the budget was like $900, so. I wrote down $800 for stock. Okay. So I could, since I have $1,500
- to put back somewhere, I would be okay with like putting a placeholder in for $500. And then maybe put
- a pin in that little ring. Okay, and then we can kind of come back in. Okay.
- discuss. So the next one was the next red one is Harrodsburg. I didn't feel good giving somebody I felt
- really bad about this one because I was like, ah, I kept going back and forth and it's like, I see what
- they're doing.
- And much like how we are doing in our other capacity as council members related to budget, I was like,
- this is, I see the spirit. I don't know if I am okay with taking something away from food, clothing,
- and shelter from somebody else to fund free rides. I thought about that when you're finished. Yeah,
- that was my one thing. But again, I was like, I could totally,
- be amendable um and that's why I made the comment earlier about maybe given since that was something
- that was near and dear to Cheryl that three thousand that was a part of the fund I would be willing
- to see how we could put some of that into there so that was that was my ration for that I felt really
- bad but um the reason I have it because on our list of the um
- things that we support, it looks to me like we have youth enrichment opportunities that seem like the
- youth enrichment. That's why I like it. Me too. And I felt bad about not giving them anything because, you know,
- Again, coming from my background, I look at things that are going to benefit the entire community, not
- just certain populations, and also to be a pro-social activities for at-risk youth or at-risk families.
- If you have these kind of things and they look forward to it all year, they become involved in it all
- year, that keeps them from doing bad things. I agree.
- positive pro-social activities, which is why I'm so happy we possibly can give them the $3,000. Exactly.
- That's spot on. We talked about maybe $500 or $1,000 from the Sheryl Munson project offsetting here.
- I gave them $1,000 because Harrisburg is way down at the bottom of our county. There's another project
- down here which is going to be Steinsville, and I've opened Steinsville up there.
- Well, I want them to fill part of our county. These are outliers, but they're small communities. And
- so when they have an event like this, this is their thing. This is their thing. So that's one of the
- reasons why I put money in there. And I did do my own research. And you can get a bouncy house rented
- and delivered for $500. So that was two bouncy houses I supported there. One for me, one for Williams.
- I was like, I'm going to sponsor something. This sounds fun rides. But I also always worry that sometimes
- our tinier communities that used to be mightier communities and will once again be very needed, mighty
- communities because of housing needs. We know that
- if you're trying to develop where people live, it's gonna be the Harrodsburgs, Steinsvilles, Eltsville's
- a good example where that is happening already in well underway, but that's where people are gonna start
- to be because it's a good headache to have. So I kind of look at that, anything that kind of builds
- their identity helps them develop it. Yeah, I mean, it's there, you know, I do,
- I have a family property I help take care of near there, and there's always something kind of going
- on in that area, much like Steinsville and I. That makes me happy because those school consolidation
- and everything else really abandoned those communities. I mean, for a purposeful reason, but that was
- a byproduct. Now we're gonna need them all back to fulfill our housing needs. So, it's kind of where
- I want it.
- So where are we at with this whole thing? I'm sorry. Bring it back. So my thought on this is, that's
- why I kind of asked, what I asked in the beginning is, if we could just zero that out, and if we're
- all in agreement of giving this Cheryl Lunson grant the money all to Harrisburg with your extra 61 cents,
- I appreciate that, by the way. And we could all be zero here. Yeah, I wouldn't want to give them the
- whole 3,000. I wouldn't mind still giving them 1,000.
- but I really want to support Grace and Girls Incorporated from Sheryl's Inheritance. And Grace's Inheritance.
- Grace Inheritance. Okay. All right. Well, we can maybe put a pin in that one.
- We didn't have any real decisions, you know? And one thing, Kim, red is red, but still the number, that
- final recommended award amount, that's going to come down to just a number, right? It is, yeah. So we
- don't necessarily have to focus on it. Worry about the red. We're not all in it. We can start up here
- and just start changing. Let's just settle for
- Here's the, you know, here's the average. Let's change it to, you know, 1,000. Isn't the blue, though,
- down at the bottom, isn't it balancing now? It is. Well, we included the $3,000. So if I take that 3,000
- out, let's just take it out. But we still have it together. Yeah. So basically, whatever that one that's
- off, it's still... I think we need to leave it in. It's balancing. Yeah. Yeah.
- So technically, you've got $3,230 to spend. So let's, you know. I'm just looking at the blue phones.
- Yeah. I don't think we're making much headway on the red stuff. Well, I mean, it's good discussion.
- Yeah, I mean, I think. But it's also influencing my way of thinking. I've got money to put back in there,
- so I could potentially put it back.
- I have some and he's got stuff too. Like a liberal. I guess just if we could glance down. So many times
- the rounded average is something I can learn with. So it's just about maybe we can settle on those then.
- So many of them look pretty good.
- there's a lot that we all were pretty close yeah yeah yeah i would agree well can we just settle on
- the ones we know we can settle on is that what you're saying yeah i kind of like that that's a positive
- move so we got that okay so so what do we want to do that i so tell me where i'm going yeah let me drive
- this train but let me so then we
- because we got a lot of green. And so I think green means that we're all in agreement. So I don't think
- there's really nothing that we need to discuss there. But I think, again, we need to go back to the
- red and the orange ones and kind of see where we're at or if there's other discussions that need to
- be had. So let's say we each kind of have $3,230 to pay it to an agency that we like, right? Unless
- we go ahead and, well,
- I mean, not necessarily because... Yeah, Councilor Feidl didn't spend all of hers. So if she went through
- right now, she'd have 13 that's going to change all of the... I think we should have Councilor Feidl's
- allocations. Oh, I mean... Yeah, because to be fair,
- you know, it's your input, it's value. And I sort of, I will say this. So I did not score my recusals
- and I didn't withhold for those either. And the reason I didn't do that is I trust the process figures
- it out with that. So I don't know why I said that way that's relevant, but I will say that the blue
- line seems to,
- despite even the reds, the blue line just starts to arrive at something, even if the differences are
- beyond a standard deviation. So it sort of is just like, oh, there's what they looked at, and this is
- what they came up with. So which one do you want? The final recommendation. So we agree, but it does
- seem like if we don't have Liz's stuff that we need. All right, I'm working on it. Please give me a
- minute. Give me a minute.
- She goes, ah, the heck with it. I'm going to go for it. The rest of us all get the 174 out, and then
- we need to do 177 now. So technically, we need to allocate ours. So I guess right now, everybody has
- some funds that they could go back and revisit. So maybe take a second here and look at what you would like to
- to allocate your funds to. So yeah, I think all that. Yes, OK, that's good. That's good. Yeah, I'm good
- and that will that averaging will take care of the us figuring out the rest. That's good. Oh yeah, he
- said it was Harrisburg and it was great and girls and girls. Excellent.
- really the table solves all your issues
- I don't know.
- I did not. Alright, let me try with mine. Alright, OK, so let's go to. So there's two. 1000. And they
- get 5000. It's one for me.
- And let's go to the Gray Center, make about $5,000. And let's go to my sister's closet, make that 4757.
- Or seven, five, seven? Yes, there is, yes there is. Oh, not seven. Oh, that. And about a bunch
- of grandparents, let's make it 6,000. And staff. Make that 5,000. That's it. How close am I now?
- One moment, yeah.
- Other people have more than I do now. I'm done for now. That's where I'm at now. Did mine show that
- I'm $5,500 under? No, you spent $5,500. Remember, you cut a couple. Oh, OK. All right.
- I gotcha, golly, I've got problems. Now you got work to do. I cut some too, I don't even know what I'm
- under. Yeah, right there. 5,000, you're under. I'm sorry, I can't see. 5,000. I'm under, I have 5,000?
- Yes. Can you take me to Grace? I was thinking about Grace. All right, Grace. Can you take that to six?
- Now, can you take me next to Harrodsburg? And take that to 2. So now let me see how far you're at. That's
- a lot. Take me to Girls Inc, please.
- I don't have to get you a Vanna t-shirt. I can make that happen. For girls, take that to six. For me,
- will you change girls to 50 to 50?
- And we're clicking. Okay. Five, two, five, oh. Is that what you said? Yes. Jenny. Thank you. All right.
- And then I have to change brace. I want to move them. Great. Are you done with your allocation? Yeah,
- obviously. I'm taking a breather for a second. You go ahead. You're doing great. Jenny's doing great.
- Okay, Grace. Jenny. Yeah, take them to 6,000. 6,000.
- Okay, Harrodsburg, take them to two. I'm just doing what Trent's doing. Apparently, it must be that
- side of the table. And then as he said it, I'm like, man, we're in sync. Or he's looking at my numbers.
- Yeah, he's got to two. And then Pantry 279, will you add 1,000 to them? Then I should expect that I
- should be in balance.
- And then me, my number, I'm still down 1,000. Can you take me to Hoosier Hills Food Bank? And let me
- just see something here for a second. They only ask for seven. Okay. You're right there. And then take
- me to Pathways, please. And take me to five.
- And then new leave new live. Take me to three demon and that should wrap me up. Well, look at today.
- Yes, that's a balanced budget. And we have three other people and possibly only them. Yeah,
- I still have 27. Yeah, you said you were done for a minute. Yeah, OK, let me let me look some way. I'll make you.
- Pretty simple. All right. I would like to add a thousand of these to Grace, Harrodsburg, and Girl's
- Inc. Grace, you've already maxed out? Oh, done. OK. OK, well, nope. Harrodsburg? I've not given them
- anything. OK, what was the others in? Harrodsburg and Girl's Inc. OK. No, did you say I maxed out on
- Girl's Inc? No, you're not on Girl's Inc. OK.
- Girls, I think you're at four. Okay. So you wanna do an extra thousand. The five. Okay. And then.
- Here's bird. I'll give them, I'll make it two. That's my three, and then I got 1000 left to go. I will
- give Limestone Media, I don't know everybody,
- They're the ones that I wanted to bring to the forefront is that what we read was they're going to take
- our grant money and make grants. I'm not sure we might want to get
- Clarification. Clarification from our legal intent. If that is actually even. Any work given? Yeah,
- yeah, no. OK, well, you don't have to do all that. I'll just I'll back out. OK, and so I think I got
- one more thousand to go check. Yes, you do. OK. That's why this. In question of I matched out there.
- I've got mine figured out. I'll come back. Okay. Go to restore for me. Okay. And let's make that $4,000.
- And then go to Second Baptist Church. Yes. Let's make that. I have seven hundred and some odd dollars
- left, whatever that is.
- 743. That's back just back and back. Yeah, then I'm done. That's my that's my. Thank you. And then for
- me, my 1000 would one would 1000 would go to Harrisburg. 1000 would go to make one more time.
- That's alright. OK, so.
- And then an extra thousand to the Grace Center. And an extra thousand to Girl's Inc. Yeah, I'm getting
- there. Yeah, definitely getting there. You're majoring in what? Right one. OK, so.
- That's probably still thinking about community kitchen. 1000. OK, now are you counting the one the first
- person? Well, not that one, sorry. OK, it's different on my arm. Yeah, so this is the collaborative.
- OK, so. As the fish, yeah, so thank you.
- Okay. All right, so then when we go over here to the final, see where we're at. So we have overspent
- by $3,020. How can that be when we're all zeroed out? Well, because you, does it not accommodate for
- the, does the formula accommodate for the 3,000 we added? Yeah, we, yeah, see I already, yeah, that's
- already up there in the top left.
- So that can't be right. Well, there's something wrong with it because our rounded average is at 180.
- That doesn't make sense. Oh, I bet this is, oh, it's rounded averages, which means they're rounded,
- which is a percentage.
- So as long as we're all zeroed out, that means we've spent the right amount of money. I think next year
- I need to fix this. So let me think about something real.
- Because you think it is trying to give us more like it's rounding. Yeah, that's what I'm going to try.
- I'm going to want to. I don't know what M means. What M means? Yeah, when it's in M around. Maybe it's
- medium rounded. So that would be.
- Yeah, that might be what the problem is, is that it's full and it's good. It says the Excel mRound function
- rounds a specified number to the nearest multiple of another specified number. Oh, n. Was that helpful?
- Yeah. It could be upping everything by 70. Yeah, so I'm going to go open it to movement. I usually use
- two. I like things simple.
- I usually do a parenthesis too, but I'm usually rounding just two numbers, so I guess I like this too.
- It was fun until we got to that column. Yeah, they thought they could use data for some reason, so they
- didn't make their data columns.
- I'd like to know is about how I felt when you spoke to me about this in public school. Thank you very
- much. Thank you.
- She was great the next day. Oh good. She feels actually helped.
- Okay so we have a fix to this so according to this we have
- overspent now, but it's surrounded. So we have overspent, but I don't know. We haven't. Well, I think
- it's around. It's a rounding thing is what it is. So I think we just go. I think it has to do with the
- averages because it's on our averages produced. It's saying get all the five columns up and divided
- by five. But there's some places where we only have four columns.
- So we have thrown maybe more money into it. So wherever we, somebody's recused themselves as well. If
- you look at the average, just say divided by three. Look at the writers, whatever that was. The writers,
- Gil at the bottom. Because I'm just looking at that one and it's like, okay, well, if you look at those numbers,
- One thousand five hundred six hundred. The average cannot be four hundred and twenty dollars. How do
- you do that? Oh, because you divide it by five, right? Divide by five. Somebody's recused themselves.
- So they be factored in. Maybe we could just put a dollar in those one, those empty line, empty slots.
- Just to see what happens. But that's not going to help anything. That won't help. No, it's okay to divide
- it by five because people just didn't vote. I think it should divide by three. Yeah, that would.
- On a recusal.
- on the recute, yeah. Then your formula is always going to go like this, but it's a whole, I mean,
- as a whole, you chose not to put anything in there, so it's still five. Yeah, technically we're
- Right. Yeah, it's just equating the zeros. I'm pretty sure the math factors out at the end of our name
- columns. So as long as those are all zero, no discrepancies and we're right on the money. Except that
- row there just needs to go. Can you add from the average and see what happens in the average? But it
- looks like the numbers are the same between the average and the rounded average.
- Is there a rounded, is there a rounded formula in the average summation? This one? The column Y. Y.
- The column Y. Oh yes, it's the average. Yes, so maybe we want to say, maybe instead what we do is say
- sum the five columns with four divided by five, and that gets us a different average. I don't know if
- it will, but. So the recusals are hurting them. Mm-hmm. Well, there's no amounts, because I have no
- amounts in some. Right, me too. But if it's purposeful, that should factor in. But if it's just your
- step on it, yeah.
- I'm going to do two. I'm going to do two because I want to add one to the five.
- Is T plus T six? I will, I can't see what I'm doing here. Does it need to be capital T? No. Okay, bye.
- Did I bump anything?
- I'm just going to do an example. Give me five numbers and see if the average really works. Give me five
- numbers in a line there. Now we're $2 off. That's much better. Maybe reduce wheeler mission to 3,234.
- you know, anything that's got a... Yes, that sounds like a good, that's a good place to do something
- that's got a dollar on it. Yeah. And what did you do take out the... I changed the formula for the average
- to instead of having it calculated as a whole, I did, you know, plus this, plus this, plus this, and
- then divide it by five. Okay. It didn't know how to do that on its own apparently.
- Apparently not, and I did, I mean, you got what you needed. Well, I have a thing. Yeah. And so that
- blue column's hitting negative two? Yes, and negative, we have overspent by $2.
- So that sixth one on the end could be tattooed? Yeah, the will admission. I would take off, I would
- make the six a five and then there's another place where there's a one and I would make that a zero.
- Yeah, there we go. There's one here. Then they're all kind of even numbers. How about, okay, so I'm
- just gonna be weird here. So this one is like. Oh, 99. Yeah, or why not make that one. Round it up.
- Yeah, round it up. Plus one.
- That's a dollar. Okay, so make mine $57.44. Oh, plus a dollar. Wait a minute. Plus a dollar. Yeah, so
- there's that one. Okay. Okay, so then is there anything else like that that ends with a weird like maybe
- nine? There's a six there. There's a seven. There's a seven. Yeah. I was looking for like another 99
- back there. So you'd be up three dollars right now.
- Okay. All right. So the account balance. Do you want to?
- Boy, you know, I mean, are we taking your plastic? We need to take away. So I did. Yeah, yeah. Take
- away three. So take 105446 and make a site for no downline down down down right this one. Make that
- five or five. OK, so do we? Yeah, and then that one five too. Yeah, big brothers fix or which one is
- that beacon bacon? Yeah, make that one or five bag.
- It's five, yeah. And then we gotta get rid of another dollar. I dare that 2667. And then we scroll to
- the bottom. We did it. No, you did it. So now the issue is, is that where we wanna be? Exactly. So can
- we compare the final award with what they requested and are we all okay, right? That's what I'd like
- to see. That is correct. So we can hide that stuff.
- started to tell. Right and I was gonna tell us there is that 60% tell us the uh percent of the request
- they want right? How much how much of the award the percentage of the award that they actually were
- actually giving them right? Yes. Okay. So like okay so I'd like to know that number I mean how far off
- are we with all of those? We're really close I think anything at least above 50% of our nine is good
- because they're all of them together. I think that's
- Well, my point is I think that they all asked for a total of like double of what we had to give, right?
- So if we looked at what their total requests were and what we're totally giving, I'd like to know how
- close we are to all that. So that would be how close are we to that 50% mark and then the percentage
- of the requests we're giving. Does that make sense? Yeah, but I don't know that that
- I mean, we would have to look at everybody's reasons, so we could say if it's under 50% of people want
- to speak to why they fund it less.
- For big brothers and sisters. I only funded them for the cameras. I think I think this is the Ellisville
- thing. Camera technology is no. This was the thing where they're going to buy clickers and stuff and
- they're going to storm at the school and I wasn't apparent to me that the school might not have already
- had that technology that they couldn't have. They've got flickers from.
- IU because it's an older technology and that they couldn't be using some services within this full system
- itself because there's a lot of friendliness there. So that's why I funded them at half their request.
- Yeah, I funded them a little less than that. How much did I fund them? I can't remember. This is the
- one I gave some to me too. So I was fine with that because to my way of thinking this wasn't
- food, clothing. That's right. We looked at the list. That's right. Yes. But it is youth enrichment,
- I think. So it's down there. It's down there. Yeah. And that's why I funded them so high because again,
- I'm coming at it from a perspective of bang for our buck and investment in children because, you know,
- children need to be a safe place to go and a safe place to get resources. And the younger they get them,
- then their outcome later in life is better. So I'm always gonna put money on the kids and that's why
- I funded this higher. Yeah. Okay, so are we happy with that? Yeah, I'm happy with that. No,
- I think we, I'm back. I'm fine with that decision. I was trying to. All right. Let's look at the rest
- of them where the, where am I going? I'm going back to. Yes. Yeah.
- All right, here we go. That is just the repeat of that. So do you want all this on here too? I just
- want the request and what we're getting. We don't need the client service.
- You want to keep those are just the two columns I'm interested in they're right next to each other so
- the clients serve we can hide and then maybe everything else well I like client serve though I would
- like to keep that well if it's on the screen I'm just looking at the paper so I think we're good with
- this okay all right
- Okay, so that gives us a clear picture of all. Okay, so that one was 40%. So you want to see anything
- that's under 50? Let me look at what I see over there. Oh, yeah, I'm okay. So under 50. So Big Brothers,
- is everybody good with their final recommended award? I am. Okay.
- okay okay not the only one okay so all right so then the next one would be this uh that one's 33 oh
- yeah the cpr right yeah it's i'm fine with us funding at that level because we fund it last year and
- it's right under community culture well we funded them last year we might anticipate that the last weekend
- next year and we
- could assume that they're, we are building up the reserves of the staff continuing. Yeah, I'm okay.
- Yeah, does anybody, I guess, if anybody objects to being under the 50% threshold, why don't we start
- with that? So if we don't hear any objections, then I would assume we're all good and we can move on.
- Okay, next one, right? So.
- They wanted $4,000 and this is the student matinee program. That whole program I wrote down was $69,800
- so they were asking $4,000 anyway so they weren't asking for a large amount but I'm trying before I
- met with them.
- I gave them some money and I think it's a good program for kids. Anything that's going to keep youth
- busy, pro-social activities in the community and the amount of clients they serve, I'm all for that.
- It's definitely youth-origin. I mean, a lot of kids they bring in don't get to, I mean, it might have
- been their first time they get to go to a program. Well, not every kid is good at sports and things
- like that. Right. Yeah. That too.
- I literally, and not that this matters, but I literally became a clogger in this community for 15 years
- because they came to my school. But they literally came to my school, kindergarten, saw one to do it.
- And now you do, you had that opportunity. So everybody feels good with that one, okay. Okay, so I know that.
- I'm keeping it quiet and allowing. Yes. Yeah. Courage to change is one. I mean. I'm they want to then
- and then 10,035 right now I'm going to shut up because I'm on the board. I mean, I think I think the
- issue is if we object, we say something other than this because I'm fine with it. Yeah, yeah, this won't like.
- I wrote down that they asked, their remain in balance was $6,745, but then the ask was $7,035.
- And I was like, I don't, yeah, I was like, so I'm, I'm personally, I'm good. And this is another one
- that is a sober living and they,
- they have to work, they have to pay for while they're there, they don't get free room and board. So
- this is something that- Living in Malibu. Yeah, living in Malibu. But this is also something that they
- can work and pay for that themselves versus all the other agencies. I just want to explain why my number
- was what it was. So we're all good on that. Everybody's good with that story. Okay. Well, I think we
- might have to stop.
- Any objections? No, no. All right. Keep it moving. The next one is 44, which was, oh no, 16. That's
- the traveling bus truck. Yeah, I think we discussed that. Yeah, I'm okay with that. Yeah. Yeah. Next
- one is Heronsburg.
- What percentage is that? That's 44. That's the one where they went at $4,500 for the rides, and we would
- get them $2,000. It's close to 50. I feel better now after having it explained and being able to give
- money, so I feel good now. It's a nice percentage. It's not like it's nothing.
- Mm-hmm. And he clearly vetted his presentation there. He knew we had a tough job, so. Yep. That's been
- the point. They must say to all of us there as much as I do, whether or not they need us. The next one
- is Ivy Tech. This is food there, as I remember. Mm-hmm. I'm Harvest Food Pantry. Right. And no objections
- from me. Yep.
- It's a lot of stone. I feel like we figured that we just don't. Yeah, no objections. Um no humane. Oh,
- that makes me sad. Yeah, that was I I get the breathing behind it. You know, like they're animals and
- pets, but still it's such a comfort for people and I just and we have such a need for our animals. I
- just really hate that, but
- I mean, I guess my, yeah, it's- But they had a $115,000 total, and then they were only asking us for
- 85%. Right, so they weren't even asking us for 10%. So I'm gonna say no objections. Yeah. Okay.
- That's fine. It's hard, it's all- It's hard, it's hard. This is the sucky part. Okay, so this one is
- 49% New Hope for families. That one's on the Frank. Yeah, that one's hard too, but I think we're-
- I think we did what we could. Yeah, I agree. Right. No objections? No objections. 233. Oh yeah. I do
- want to have a discussion about this just in case I can try to change anybody's mind, but I
- voted to give them a lot of money only because I look at it again they do a lot of therapy with kids
- they do a lot with autistic children children with developmental disabilities it you know anything to
- invest in our kids I feel like more pro-social activities
- they're less likely to be involved in bad things when they grow up. So I just would like for everybody
- to kind of think about that. I know people struggle with that because it's not food and things, but
- it is critical and it does give a great...
- a great resource to the community. And there's a lot, I mean, there's a lot of kids that could benefit
- from that. And I'll just leave it at that. So they want a 32, one and a half hour program. So this will
- give them, how much percentage? We're almost giving them, not, we'll give them 40%. So they'll still
- get to do something. Yeah, yeah, I'm good with the number. I just want to bring awareness to things
- that when people see this and they're thinking, well, that's of horses. Why would they do that? But
- I just- Oh, I don't have any trouble defending that. Yeah, I mean the public. I just want people to
- understand
- my reasoning by being a new person to this meeting. I come to get to know my reasoning, and I just know
- they do a lot in the community. We refer our troubled youth to them as well. Okay. Do we have any other
- good ones? Are we good? Yeah, I think we're good. The next one is playing fair and good. Oh,
- that's so close. We got as close to 50 percent as we could. Yeah. No objections from me. Yeah. Okay.
- The next one is protect our people.
- 33%? Is this the first year for them on this? Yes. I think it's a good start. And it's one of those,
- I'll just be very candid. I always look at, there's so many different food resources in the community
- and I'm always trying to figure out which one is hitting this with impact. And gosh, I could probably
- get it wrong most of the time. And years and years ago with, gosh, now I'm blanking. Oh, shoot.
- Megan Betts is the director. Mother Hubbard's gosh of all the names you'd forget years ago when I first
- looked at them I was like I don't understand all that over time I got in there saw what they did and
- I really like soaked in for me and I think that I'm glad to see this one enter in here and that kind
- of same thing. Get them a start. Yes. And again as we have been talking about a lot is trying to protect
- you know, like our youth. I think when we think of youth, we gotta also make sure we're thinking all
- of our youth. And so this is near and dear for me personally, because we have, our children have friends
- who could possibly benefit from this as well. So like, I just, yeah. Yep, so no objections from me.
- Nope, no objections. I mean, it's a good start.
- Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. I had this one turned around. I had it turned around with the not current
- change back up the list. So I said what I said was out of turn. But yeah, I guess I'm also glad to see
- all right. Next is the restore. Well, happy cap. I hear it. Here's what I thought ever.
- feeding the volunteers. I volunteer in a lot of places and I always get myself fed and I don't depend
- on food going there. You know what I mean? I think people can figure out how to get their food. They're
- volunteering. I think the issue is that they're having some people that are doing community service
- hours as required by the court system. And so I'm hoping that they'll be judicious in how they spend
- their time. They can choose how to hand it out then. How they're actually going to process it.
- Okay, any objections? Nope, none for me. So the next one is Seven Oaks. So one of the things about that
- is that other school systems are doing backpack buddies.
- Through Community Kitchen, it wasn't evident that they had done that, which would make sense as a smaller
- school. They might have social workers and be able to qualify the families to do that, but I'm hoping
- that they will look into that. I'm not sure they have social workers. No, they don't have social workers.
- We're unusual. MCC has social workers, and that's very unusual in a school system to have that. But
- I think it allows
- better services for children. And so I'm really wanting to encourage Seven Oaks to reach out to Community
- Kitchen and see if there's some resources there for them. So no objection. No objection. So moving on
- to Sobremesa. I like saying that. You do? I don't have any objections. This is also, they're the first
- time that they've done an application.
- None from me. Anybody else? No. Saint Paul. That's for Saint Vincent. They were going to buy furniture.
- Yeah, I would agree. I agree. I think we're good. Alright, then we're down to tandem. This is the first
- year that they. Wait, for me the number was big.
- No, I'm sorry. No, this isn't. They've come last year. Yeah, that's right. So yeah, it's all good. So
- I think the issue is that normally we might not support operational costs like labor, which was
- the majority of their requests, but they are a growing agency. They've taken over for options for better
- living, the diaper program. And at this point, they're in a critical growth area where they really need,
- I think, this kind of support. And I think that they have a good director that will probably maximize
- and find another way to get
- and the county provides services to attend. Yes, yes. They're growing and they're filling an inch need
- and I think I see good things for our community because they exist. I will say I wish this was one that
- we could give more funding for everything that you just said because they have taken over a real big
- need. We refer people there all the time and it's a needed resource. Yes.
- So no objections, but maybe next year we can do more. OK, next one is the project school. This was the
- first year at yeah, I'm going to encourage that to also maybe figure out other resources if all of our
- schools are hurting for the same thing and having to, you know, let go of support staff, which makes
- the teachers role much harder.
- as schools have a chance to evolve, they might be able to build up their volunteer gains, but it's really
- hard this year for all of our students. Yeah, I agree. This is one that was, I allocate a lot of money,
- only because again, I look at the need of the children that it provides the services for, and the fact
- that with all these federal funding cuts, and for you guys know, all these
- is that going to affect the services that these children get now, less, and there's not hope to bring
- it back. So that's why I came to give them so much money, just because of the children that they serve.
- Yeah. They'll get about a third, not a third. So no objections. And then the next one is Wonderlad.
- I wish we could do all the things in the world for them.
- And I just, I'm good, I have no objections. I get the whole idea being from Gary and seeing, you know,
- she made her compelling case. And so much like what Julie has been saying, I think the common theme
- is we just, I think,
- anything that we can do to get kids to either clog later in life or just like do other things. Oh,
- I remember. But this is something that I just... Well, and we didn't used to have a laundry rack. We
- didn't have a laundry rack. Well, and one of the things that we could do, just a little plug here, is
- A lot of science museums have retroactivity that if you have a membership. So for years, if we were
- going to Chicago, we bought a Wonder Lab museum and then we would be able to get into some of the Chicago
- museums. I should probably call their development director and say, here's a way to
- kind of get more people, because you might say, well, my kids are too awful in their lab. Well, no.
- So it's a reciprocal agreement. So we got three more or two more after this. So no more. I don't have
- any objections. And then any objections to the Writers Guild? No. And then writing for change? No. No.
- Okay. So then Ms. Kim, you will tell us our next steps, because the next step is to present to the council
- for approval. Do we have to? Oh, we have to, yeah. Hold on, let's see. So I didn't know. So you fixed
- it? Yes. Yeah, okay. So yeah, we don't have to make a motion to move this to council. Yes, so that's
- what I was gonna say. I do need a motion. I need money or somebody else. Yes, I can get money. Oh,
- you're 16. So yeah, so what we'll do is we've included it. The motion needs to include
- and I don't know, it's right here on our agenda. I know. Language that I didn't know. No, I just said
- that. It was generic, so okay. So yes, if you could have a motion and then what'll happen is we will
- prepare a list of exhibits and then along with this signature page showing your voting,
- then that will be forwarded to council at a meeting that will be presented at our recommendation. Yes.
- And then once that happens, then after that, it goes to the commissioners to approve contracts. So then
- we'll contact anyone that made an application and let them know who has been approved to us. Can you
- get a copy of what we did? Yeah, we'll do the whole thing.
- I just want to know what they asked for and what they gave me. Oh, yeah, yeah. They'll send out a copy.
- Yeah, we'll send out, yeah, a copy of our scoring sheet. Right. Yeah, I want to see this in my email.
- Yeah. Oh, you want to see a copy of this? I want to see what we awarded. Oh, OK. That's what I want
- to see. Oh, OK. Somebody is bound to have a record. Somebody is bound to ask. Ask, and it's hard to
- remember on the test, so it's nice to know. Yeah. OK.
- We'll just forward you a... So what's the motion now? We got to send this to Council. I so move.
- And I second. Oh, here we go. I'm supposed to do this. Hold on. I'm in blue here. She stole my thing.
- I moved her forward to the County Council for approval, the Sophia Chavez grant award funding, and the
- Cheryl Munson memorial donation recommendations. Second. Good job. We got a motion and a second to forward
- this. I would just take a point of privilege.
- as chair to say thank y'all very much for this. This is Jenny's last one. And then this is Julie's first
- one. So the J's, the J's are all right. So I just, I would like to say thank you and again to staff,
- and who especially, of course, for this being her first and of course, Kim Show and Molly for all the
- support that they've given to the committee to do this.
- Again, we knew that it was gonna be a really tough one and we did it and better look next year as we
- look forward to seeing what we do. So I'm looking forward to seeing this discussion.
- at the council meeting. And there were more applicants this year, as I remember. I wasn't here last
- year, but as I remember asking, there were more applicants this year. It grows every year. Yeah. And
- I like the range of need. I mean, we didn't just give to one type of need or this type of need. We gave
- to multiple needs, and I feel good about that. Exactly. Yes. Anybody else? Not a bad Friday. No. It's
- nice to have it done. I think we appreciate all of our community
- agencies and the work they do and it's really hard work and I hope that you feel like we respect that
- you and listen to your needs and try to meet you or give you guidance to your next ideas. So thank you.
- The only other thing I'd say is I always appreciate this process because it's one
- though it's hard, it's one thing that feels always good to get in there and learn about this and just
- the knowledge built year after year. I will say this, I'm also grateful that the county budgets for
- this. Sometimes there's controversy around that, but my God, can you imagine if these things, if these
- groups weren't here doing things, what life would be like? And so for other communities or counties,
- if they would do some of this or figure it out, they always act to me, I talk to them like I'm talking about
- to Mars, you just got to figure it out what your people need. But if they do a little bit of that, it
- helps some of this a lot.
- this community continues to try to figure out the tough stuff, it would be easier to not do. Well, I
- know it wouldn't be easier, but if you just zeroed it out and said we're not doing that and figured
- other things out, yeah, you could do that, but you'd have a whole lot of other problems. Well, I appreciate
- what you just said, Trent, because I don't look at it as bringing up the budget is a good way to think
- of it. This is an investment. This is an investment for our community, investment for our kids, our
- future citizens. So I know people see the budget
- issues and everything. And while I understand that, it's kind of like you got to pay yourself first.
- I look at this as paying ourselves first with the groups that we gave money to. That's a good way to
- end it all. So do we have to take a vote? Yeah, that's what I was just about to steer us to. Give us
- a roll call vote, please. Okay. Yes.
- Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
- go over how we will present and then you'll also go over when that presentation will be. When we present
- we take a certain section and present that? Usually in the past what happens is this is a topic that
- comes up to county council and then they go through the whole list of each agency and what we awarded
- them. Okay and we have to explain it or we just say no no you just say them we just say. So you are
- normally sitting
- County Council and Julie and I say this is the recommendation and these are the recommendations we make
- for funding and we read the list into the record and then you go to the U.S. as the Council.
- We read the list. And then Kim on our original schedule said 5 p.m. October 28th but I know Kim is in
- charge of all the dates and these things change.
- I don't know how you guys are. I think we should adjourn so I will motion to adjourn back in. Alright
- and we are adjourned. Thanks y'all. Thank you all. Thank you.
