The Board also discussed the following related to four (4) of the agencies,;
Since A Gift of Time Adult Day Care is a new start-up non-profit ,the Board would like to
see the grant award split into two (2) payments, the first at the beginning of the budget
year and the 2nd mid -year after receiving a progress report from the agency;
Habitat for Humanity's grant award is to be restricted to Home Repair;
Lone Star Circle of Care's grant award is to be restricted to Adult Dental Care; and
Opportunities for Williamson & Burnet Counties, Inc. (OWBC) also applied for in -kind utility
assistance. However, the Board did not review their grant application because it was
incomplete. This request needs to be determined by the City Council.
There was also some discussion regarding the reporting requirements and the types of
information the Board would like to see included in the annual reports that are due in October
2017. The Board will meet prior to the completion of the Funding Agreements to discuss a
standardized reporting format that includes relevant metrics for the Annual Reports. A tentative
date of August 10, 2017 was discussed.
The Board also indicated that it would like to provide to each of the agencies who applied for
funding its observations and suggestions of what each agency could do in the future to improve
their grant applications. There were also some of the agencies that the Board would like to gain
some additional clarification on information referenced in their grant applications.
The Board recommendations will go to the City Council August 8, 2017„
