Advisory committee scores applications and awards four CDBG public service grants

In a work session, committee members scored public service applications separately, then voted award by award: Guyon Saunders Resource Center $55,000, Martha's Home $23,000, Maverick Boys & Girls Club $21,800 and the Salvation Army $21,800, as the minutes record them. The council packet two months later lists slightly different amounts for three of the four.^[1]^[2]

What the sources say

✓ Verified
The May 16, 2023 minutes say the committee "moved to separate seating arrangements for privacy of application review, no open conversation/discussion allowed," with staff explaining risk assessments and "scoring assessments based on Factors 1-4 (high risk) and tier levels based on average score of 8.5." Each award was then reviewed in "open discussion" and approved on a motion and second; the minutes record each as "vote/motion carried" without a tally. In April 2023 the department had opened applications for FY2023-2024 funding through April 28. ^[1]^[2]
