<br /> <br />Commissioner Dorosin said at the start of this process there is a target of 1.2%, but <br />there is no dollar cap. He asked if every one of the applications had scored above 80, would <br />they all have received some funding. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said yes. She said last year, new agencies did not receive any <br />funding, but this year if an agency scored over 79 it received some time of funding; whether it <br />was a new agency or not. <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if “new” means that an agency has not previously received <br />County funding. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said yes, or have not received funds in the past 5 years. She <br />resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> <br /> <br />Chair Rich asked if those applicants that did not score well had attended the grant <br />writing class. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said yes, most did. <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if an entity, which was previously funded, is guaranteed to <br />get its base budget regardless of its score. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said yes. <br />Commissioner Dorosin said he would question why the County would continue to fund <br />an agency that is scoring so low. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said there have been some agencies that were not funded again <br />due to such a low score. She said low scores are not usually related to the application, but <br />rather to the service no longer being needed.
