During that meeting the Council unanimously <br /> approved to offer currently funded programs an additional opportunity to request additional funding. <br /> The Funding Committee reviewed the requests via email and all were in agreement to fund the requests as <br /> submitted. Dispute Settlement Center submitted a request for$3,070 to attend a National Restorative <br /> Justice Conference in July. Haven House/Wrenn House are requesting$7,525 to purchase materials to <br /> partially replace flooring in their shelter house. Both request come to a total of$10,595 which still leaves <br /> $25,047 unallocated. <br /> Gayane Chambless made a motion to approve Dispute Settlement Center's request for $3,070 to attend <br /> the National Restorative Justice Conference and was seconded by Bernard Miles. Motion passed <br /> unanimously. <br /> Amanda Farris made a motion to approve Haven House/Wrenn House's request for$7,525 to purchase <br /> flooring materials and was seconded by Donna King. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> The remaining unallocated funds need to be assigned by December 31 otherwise they will revert back to <br /> the State. However, if this does happen it will not reflect negatively on the JCPC and will not affect any <br /> future allocations. <br /> Q: If a program came up with a last minute need, could they present it at the December meeting? <br /> A: We would need to have another meeting prior to December in order for the Funding Committee to <br /> review and present at the December meeting. And then you'd also have to take into consideration the <br /> timeline that is needed to execute the budget revision and obtain all signatures by December 31. <br /> Q: If we were to send out another email to programs today and let them know they had until <br /> November 24 to send in additional requests and we could vote on it at December's meeting, could <br /> that happen? <br /> A: It is a possibility, but keep in mind the timeline we are on to get it completed by December 31. <br /> Toshina did circle back to programs who didn't turn in a request and they stated they didn't have any <br /> needs at this time. <br /> Comment was made about programs being given multiple opportunities to apply for funding, so unless <br /> something has just emerged, I don't want to encourage program to apply for additional funds and then <br /> struggle to spend it. <br />
