44 <br /> Sharron Hinton reminds that the JCPC would have to keep everything on track once the applications are <br /> received—Funding Committee meet to make decision on recommendations and JCPC needs to meet <br /> again under a special meeting to vote. <br /> Eddie Crews mentions that if the RFP is reposted for all programs,just be aware that additional <br /> applications may be received for program types for which you already have addressed the need through <br /> the prior RFP. <br /> Q: Can we open the RFP for another 30 days just for emergency shelter services and do the review <br /> of all after the second one closes? <br /> A: Yes. That is an option. The only tricky part would be the amount you'd want to put on the RFP. <br /> Amanda Farris points out that even with holding the already received applications until the second closes, <br /> we are still stuck with the issue of trying to determine how much to take out to advertise just for <br /> emergency shelter services. <br /> Q: Can we determine how much funding they received for this current fiscal year? <br /> A: (Eddie Crews pulls up initial program agreement) They received$16,475 in JCPC funds and $4,942 in <br /> county cash match, and$19,579 in local cash. They had a couple budget revisions this year due to <br /> unallocated funds for renovation purposes. <br /> Amy Fowler states that it seems like we should go with a number similar to their initial budget request. <br /> Sharron Hinton summarizes the options before the JCPC: 1)move forward with re-advertising everything <br /> or 2)hold what has been received and only advertise for the emergency shelter services, deciding on <br /> amount to advertise just for that program type. <br /> Crista Collazo mentions that she had been trying hard to get an agency to submit an application for <br /> mentoring services. The folks she spoke with are in Chapel Hill and missed the deadline. While it seems <br /> like the easiest thing to do would be to advertise just for emergency shelter services, she thinks that if the <br /> RFP was re-advertised in its entirety that the organization would probably apply if they knew they had 30 <br /> more days. <br /> Sharron Hinton agrees that is a benefit of re-advertising everything is that you can capture those agencies <br /> who may have found out too late and offer other needed services. She asked if anyone would like to a <br /> motion for either proposal. <br /> Crista Collazo motioned to re-advertise the RFP in its entirety for another 30 days and was seconded by <br /> Amy Fowler. <br /> Q: Is there a way to notify the applicants who already applied that they do not need to reapply? <br /> A: An email will be sent to those applicants to let them know. <br /> Motion passed unanimously. <br />
