AMP Commission to send 2026 funding-letter to applicants; staff to add website link and host workshop
Summary
Commissioners agreed to send a 2026 funding-event letter that cautions applicants not to expect prior funding levels; staff will add a link to the updated application on the website and plan a pre-deadline workshop to help applicants complete forms.
The AMP Commission reviewed a proposed 2026 funding-event letter to applicants and agreed to distribute it with minor edits, including adding a link to the updated application on the commission’s website.
Staff said the letter was drafted to avoid committing to a specific funding amount and that updated guidelines would appear in the revised application. A staff member summarized the letter as a notice "to not expect the same amount of funding as usual." Commissioners requested that a direct link to the application and payment address be included in the mailing so applicants would not have to search for it online.
Commissioners also discussed holding a workshop, typically in August a couple of weeks before the application deadline, to answer applicant questions. The body agreed staff would organize and lead the workshop, and that commissioners could announce it but would not be required to attend.
The commission did not take a formal vote to send the letter; staff indicated they would update the letter to include the website link requested by Miguel and could attach the application form when distributing the notice.
