Appeals by two applicants shift Social Service Grant allocations; committee adopts United Way spreadsheet cutoff at 88%
Summary
United Way staff told the committee that approved appeals from Shawnee County Medical Society and Foundation Health Access required revising recommended awards; staff applied an 88% cutoff and split remaining funds between two organizations.
United Way of Kaw Valley presented revisions to recommended Social Service Grant awards after the committee approved appeals from Shawnee County Medical Society and Foundation Health Access. Brett Martin explained that the spreadsheet revision uses an 88 percent cutoff for awards and that for the two applicants at that cutoff the staff "took the percentage of their request" and then divided the remaining dollars between those organizations.
Martin said staff applied the same allocation logic used previously and updated column I of the spreadsheet to show the new suggested award amounts. The committee received the explanation and approved the revised recommendations, allowing notifications to proceed. The transcript does not specify the identities of the two organizations beyond the two appellants or provide the individual award amounts in the spoken record.
