DISCUSSION:
1. Meeting convened at 1:15 PM with no quorum to pass previous minutes.
2. Budget: Mackenzie Helton described the situation of the past few months.
Valley Life For All will no longer be a recipient of funds and monies from their two projects
have been returned and re-allocated.
The Local Leadership Request for Proposal was also retracted because the two bidders did not
meet the minimum standards for the grant, and that $90,000 will have to be allocated before
September 30, 2016.
JFK reported that costs for two interns in the LEND program was under-estimated by $7000.
The fix will be to increase the grant for next year to cover the shortfall and to continue for an
additional year of training two new interns.
Staff met with Eastern Colorado Services on January 20 and guided the grantee to make
changes to attain their stated outcomes.
Mackenzie reiterated to the Committee that funds not encumbered by September 30 will be
returned to the Feds.
3. Proposed Goals/Objectives: Susan Fager reviewed the brand new Federal performance measures for the New Five Year Plan.
a) Advocacy Efforts
b) Changing Systems
c) Council Findings
Sue distributed a handout that visually explained what she described
(see handout).
Sue discussed the brainstorming sheet she supplied the committee. She needed to break down the goals into implementation strategies, keeping in mind all the federal requirements attached to each goal. She listed possible strategies for the first two goals, but needed the committee to add, delete or tweak what she had and the third goal had no implementation strategies at all listed.
4. Adjournment: 2:53 PM
ACTION/MOTION/CONSENSUS:
1. Mackenzie will confer with Katie prior to any P&G meeting so that as chair she is familiar with the information he will present.
2. Jeanette Cordova requested that the word “inclusive” be replaced by “integrated” in the second goal of transitioning youth. Her request passed with the rest of the committee.
3. No quorum to approve minutes.
Present: Rob Buzogany (phone), Jeanette Cordova, Katie Grange (GTM), Melissa Mannix, Anuska Ullal
