Board declines to strike Boys and Girls Club CDBG item after presenter says group will not apply
Summary
The presenter said the Boys and Girls Club will not apply for the $500,000 after-school program this year; the board discussed but chose not to strike the item from the record to avoid blocking future applications if the organization changes course.
During the CDBG project review, consultant Robert Plain said the Boys and Girls Club intended to apply for $500,000 for after-school programming but will not apply this year because they could not meet a national objective. A board member asked whether the item should be removed from the staff report; staff and the consultant cautioned that striking it would prevent the club from applying later if its circumstances changed.
The consultant warned, "If you strike it from your record, that's a hard stop for them" (Robert Plain). The board opted not to strike item 4 and instead certified the staff report as presented. The discussion preserved the organization's ability to apply in a future round if it elects to do so.
