• HSAC recommended not funding seven (7) outside agencies as they were deemed • <br />of lesser priority in a tight budget year and/or less critical to human services <br />delivery. <br />Piedmont Wildlife Center (PWC) and Hillsborough Youth Athletic Association <br />(HYAA) were not recommended for funding in FY08-09 or FY09-10 by HSAC. <br />Agency leadership presented oral progress reports to HSAC during their February <br />meeting. Ultimately HSAC held to the philosophical position the two agencies, <br />despite their good faith efforts in the current fiscal year, did not warrant County <br />financial support above agencies with more true human services missions. <br />A recommendation on the Community School for People Under 6 (CSPU6) application in <br />the amount of $100,000 was deferred pending confirmation of the timeline for their <br />relocation from Northside. Additionally the outside agency application process has <br />historically not been used to address capital requests. <br />Attachment A is the spreadsheet of HSAC recommendations totaling $1,145,971. <br />Attachment B is the Scorecard Evaluation Form and Narrative Criteria HSAC uses to <br />review agency applications. <br />Attachment C is information on PWC and HYAA from their February presentation to <br />HSAC. <br />Attachment D is e-mail correspondence re: CSPU6. <br />County Manager Recommendations • <br />The County Manager consulted with the Assistant County Manager and Budget Analyst <br />who work with HSAC in its review and rating process. The recommendations that <br />resulted came from a stricter interpretation of the "safety net" agencies and an <br />approximate 15 % reduction across the board in all agency requests. <br />Attachment A provides the Manager's Recommendations totaling $1,043,742. <br />Agency Descriptions and County Contribution/Agency <br />Total Projected Revenues <br />Attachment E is a summary of agency descriptions and the percentage of their total <br />projected budget comprised of County-funding. <br />BOCC Minutes <br />Attachment F is a copy of the minutes from February 12, 2009 when the BOCC <br />discussed the "Appropriation Not-Mandated -Funding Discretionary -Contributions to <br />Non-Profits". <br />• <br />
