12 <br /> Chair Dorosin said these funds can be spent on the ongoing deferred maintenance that <br /> led to the need for the bond.

Discussion of Outside Agencies Funding for FY 2017-18, Pgs. 428-439 <br /> Bonnie Hammersley made the following PowerPoint presentation: <br /> COUNTY MANAGER <br /> FY2017-18 RECOMMENDED BUDGET <br /> Outside Agency Funding Requests <br /> Bonnie Hammersley reviewed the handouts for this item. She said all outside agencies <br /> came to meet with staff from the Manager's office, which was very helpful for the budget <br /> process, as well as future planning. She said she is especially excited about opportunities for <br /> increased collaboration between outside agencies, and staff will be working on this over the <br /> next year. <br /> Outside Agency funding - graphs of score cards (pages 1-7) <br /> Commissioner Jacobs asked if every agency that made a request received funding. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said yes. <br /> Commissioner Rich asked if the highest score is 30. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said the highest score is 100. <br /> Outside Agency Funding <br /> Application Score % Requested Increased Funding <br /> 100-90 50% <br /> 89-90 30% <br /> 79-0 15% <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if there was a standard applied to new funding requests. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said the new funding requests followed the same score card, with <br /> the exclusion of the results section. She said these requests could have a high score of 75, <br /> which equated to a score of 90-100 with existing requests. <br /> Chair Dorosin asked if the highest percentage that a new agency request could receive <br /> is 50%. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said yes. <br /> Chair Dorosin asked if the highest amount received by existing funded agencies <br /> requests was 50% of their requested increase (from last year). <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said yes. <br /> Chair Dorosin asked if the agencies knew these breakdowns before submitting <br /> requests. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said no, but previous Board discussions regarding formulaic <br /> breakdowns were considered. She said the advisory boards took time to consider and score <br /> the agencies, and had heard frustration that these efforts were not taken into account in the <br /> decision-making. She said staff decided to make value of the advisory boards' efforts this <br /> year. She said if the Board is comfortable with this practice, then outside agencies would be <br /> made aware of this formula in advance next year. <br />
