Summary

The committee will assign applications to individual members for deep review, then hold a full-day presentation session in mid-to-late September where applicants give brief remarks and respond to clarifying questions.

Ken Guerra told attendees the presentation day is not a full presentation: "it's literally a, you know, an I would call it more of an elevator pitch," he said, adding the committee already has the full application and background information in advance.

Guerra described the internal review workflow: county staff collect and distribute applications, committee members take individual applications for deeper review, and on presentation day applicants answer specific clarifying questions from the committee. After presentations the committee meets as a whole to formalize funding recommendations that then proceed to the finance committee and county council for approval.
