She said it would be <br /> reported to the state and back to the committee. She said that the metrics are also in the contracts <br /> for those organizations that are funded. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked Quintana Stewart to review the formula for deciding <br /> how much each organization would receive. <br /> Quintana Stewart said there wasn't a formula. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked how $20,000 was decided for Grow Your World. <br /> Quintana Stewart said it was based on the allowable requested expenses. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if the coordinator position would be more than part time. <br /> Quintana Stewart said yes because they will be working with all partners and making sure <br /> that efforts are not being duplicated. <br /> Commissioner Richards asked how the committee was formulated and how the roles were <br /> determined. <br /> Quintana Stewart said the committee is appointed by the Board. She said that a <br /> subcommittee was created to review applications and then their analysis was brought back to the <br /> full committee. She said there is another subcommittee that works on the public meeting. <br />
