The Citizen Advisory Board voted to reallocate $300 to purchase backpacks for unsheltered Family Investment clients after the department did not receive summer camp funds in time, the board’s May 21 minutes show. Pamela Smith moved the reallocation and Kourtney Cluster seconded; the motion "passed with all remaining members in favor."

Director Cora Grishkot requested the reallocation during Action Items after reporting that summer camp funding would not move forward because the funds had not been received. The board tabled the Backpack Giveaway event until Dr. Mountain returns to the next meeting but approved reallocating $300 immediately to meet urgent client needs.
