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.
