She said once these 7 gaps are known, there will be a process to work with the two zones to prioritize how best to 8 address them. She said this plan will then come to the Board, along with a definition of the 9 budget. 10 Commissioner Rich asked if this will become a line item in the regular budget, or if it will 11 always be a request from the social justice fund. 12 Bonnie Hammersley said this has not been decided yet. She said this may have been 13 addressed already in a budget amendment. She said this has already been allocated, so staff 14 will look at how to address it moving forward. 15 Commissioner Rich said a certain amount will be put into the Social Justice fund, but it 16 might be a good idea to move this funding to be a regular line item. 17 Commissioner Burroughs said she was pleased to see that there is a workshop on the 18 evaluation. She thinks it is good to have an evaluation tool in place from the beginning. 19 Commissioner Pelissier said there has been some discussion of possible opportunities 20 for additional funds from United Way. She said this might provide additional money for the 21 implementation of services and programs. 22 Colleen Bridger said that process is under way. 23 24 A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier for 25 the Board to approve Budget Amendment#6-A transferring $10,000 from the Social Justice 26 Fund to the Health Department to pay for Family Success Alliance attendance at the Harlem 27 Children's Zone Practitioners Institute. 28 29 VOTE: UNANIMOUS 30 31 c.
