related to the 2019-2020 application cycle. Many agencies had issues with their
application submissions and staff made a decision to accept updated and/or added
data within a reasonable timeframe. Those agencies that responded in time were
able to have new information added to their applications.
• Agency/program presentations
The Committee heard presentations from the following agencies: ANEW, Mary's
Place, Catholic Community Services, Valley Cities, Eastside Legal Assistance
Program and DAWN. Each agency was allowed 7 minutes to present information
about their programs followed by 8 minutes for a question and answer period from
Committee members.
• New member process
Joy Scott reported that 6 applications had been received from citizens interested in
joining the Human Services Committee. Joy asked if two current members would be
willing to participate in conference calls with the potential new members to weigh in
on their experiences, time commitments, expectations of members, etc. Barbara
Derda and JoAnne Walters are able to commit to these phone interviews. Staff will
soon schedule these informal interviews. The hope is to have three members
available to start in the Fall of 2018.
