GRANT PROCESS
LW reported a change in our grant cycle timeline resulting from the uncertainty of budget cuts at
the state level. We will send provisional notifications this year, pending approval of the MCC;
then send final approval notifications after February 2 when MCC will confirm our final
allocation.
In response to a question from our previous meeting, LW reported that Yellow Bus grants are not
channeled through the LCC grant process. Applicants for Yellow Bus grants must contact the
MCC directly.
LW reminded all new members to complete the online training available through MCC.
Grant packets were distributed. LW reviewed a handful of applications that were not included in
our packets because they failed to meet the minimum requirements for consideration.
Next meetings include grantee interviews on November 13, and application review and voting on
November 24; both to commence at 7:30 pm in the Police Station Community Room.
Meeting adjourned-8:10 pm
Respectfully submitted,
Vicky Schubert
