9 <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said no. <br /> Commissioner Price said she was interested in the funding. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said he is not aware of any identified funds at this time <br /> other than the County's funding. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said the proposal sounds very interesting, but she would <br /> prefer to wait until September to discuss it. She said it is hard to write grants when the <br /> option has not been determined. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said if the process does move forward, she would support <br /> hiring a professional grant writer, but that is getting ahead of themselves. She said it is <br /> premature to look at grant funds, when it is not clear what is needed and what is the best <br /> option to pursue. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said he disagreed, and if the BOCC reads the report it <br /> would be able to see the options have been narrowed down to just a few viable ones. <br /> He said the first step is to know which grant opportunities are worth pursuing, and the <br /> initial report writer has grant writing experience, as well as connections to this <br /> community. He said the Covid funding could be crucial to jump starting this project. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said she read the report, and there are four options. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Marcoplos to approve Amendment 021. <br /> Commissioner Greene said she has not had a chance to read the full report, and <br /> the pros and cons are not clear to her. She said she would be happy to consider it in the <br /> fall. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said the report was sent out a while ago, and he <br /> should have flagged it more strongly to have the BOCC read it. <br /> NO SECOND <br /> Motion failed. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if staff could monitor these Covid-19 grants. <br /> Chair Rich said staff is already doing so, and tracking all Covid related expenses <br /> and funds is critical. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he meant to monitor the grant deadlines, and bring <br /> this topic back in September. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos encouraged everyone to sit in on these meetings, to <br /> observe the level of commitment and progress. <br /> School Amendments — none <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the BOCC wants to make a motion to use the <br /> $191,000 for schools. He said he would be open to give these monies to the schools, <br /> with a 60/40 split. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Dorosin, seconded by Commissioner <br /> Greene to give the $191,000 to the schools at the 60/40 split. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said given the schools' fund balances, she would suggest <br /> moving the monies to the social justice fund. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if the 2020-21 social justice fund balance could be <br /> identified. <br /> Travis Myren said $180,000, given Commissioner Greene's earlier amendment. <br /> Commissioner McKee said given the uncertainty in the world, he would endorse <br /> Commissioner Bedford's suggestion to move monies to the social justice fund. He <br /> asked Commissioner Dorosin if he would accept a friendly amendment. <br />
