Meeting participants urge a simple public snapshot to track eligible funding and grant opportunities
Summary
Speakers urged creating a concise spreadsheet or public snapshot to track which funding sources and grant opportunities the group is pursuing so the board and public can see active efforts and next steps.
During the meeting's discussion, one participant asked the group to create a short, shareable snapshot that lists funding sources currently in play and which applications or opportunities the group is actively pursuing. The participant framed the request as a way to avoid duplication of effort and to inform both the public and the panel about what is underway: "how do we keep track of what dollars that we're eligible for?"
Speakers noted several funding streams they were tracking—state grant, IRWM planning funds and an assembly-appropriation effort—and said a simple spreadsheet could be prepared quickly and shared at future meetings. The group agreed someone would take initial responsibility for compiling the list and that follow-up updates would be shared with accounting and at future meetings so the public can see progress and outstanding needs.
The proposal was presented as an administrative transparency measure rather than a policy decision; participants asked staff to prepare the snapshot and to return with any clarifying information from accounting.
