C Discussion and Possible Action regarding the recommendations to be made to the City Council for
allocation of funding for Strategic Partnerships for Community Services Grants and preparation
for the Presentation to the City Council—C.O. Smith, Board Chair
C.O. Smith explained to the members who were present that the Board's recommendations and the
presentation to the Council would be included in the City Council Packets for the August 11`h Council
Meeting. The item will be brought forward as an action item on the Regular Agenda and there will not be
a Workshop Presentation to the City Council. In anticipation of that, the Board Chair felt that it was
important for the Board to meet one more time to review the recommendations from the Board to ensure
that the reasons for recommending or not recommending funding for each agency was noted should any
questions arise during the Council's deliberations.
In reviewing the allocation recommendations, it was noted that there was an error in the documentation
as to the Board's recommendations from the meeting held on July 8, 2015. After reviewing the audio
minutes, it was determined that an error was made in documentation of an allocation of $10,000 to the
Samaritan Center for Counseling and Pastoral Care. The Board recommendation was not to recommend
