Committee approves process and resolutions to award settlement-funded projects
Summary
Finance presented an evaluation-team process for distributing accumulated settlement funds and the committee approved individual project resolutions to authorize expenditures; staff will return future single resolutions for each listed project.
Finance staff described an internal process for bringing forward requests for accumulated settlement funds: applicants complete a request form, an evaluation team reviews proposals and the county executive forwards recommendations to the health and human services committee and then to finance for authorization. Kim, a member of the evaluation team, was present to answer questions and staff emphasized many projects are multi-year and must meet funding restrictions.
The committee took motions to approve the listed project resolutions and the chair declared the motions carried. Finance staff said each funded project will appear as its own resolution in future packets and that staff will provide project-year spend schedules so the evaluation team and county executive can track expenditures over time.
Committee members asked for periodic updates on outcomes and emphasized that many of the awards carry specific restrictions and reporting requirements.
