Council Committee, Board/Commission Action:
The Human Services Advisory Board considered applications throughout 2022 for funding in 2023 and provided a recommendation to City Council. The Board heard appeals at the December 5, 2022, Board meeting, and unanimously approved the following motion: That the Board’s recommendation for the $500,000 stand as it is, and that the Board notes that the appeals process is flawed as it is currently written since it could create the situation of endless appeals as funding is adjusted, and that the Board is requesting an additional $158,854 to fully fund the programs that appealed. The Board plans to discuss the flawed appeals process on a future Board agenda.
