Board tables $225,000, three-year grant-consulting agreement with CSAC Foundation and Ferguson Group
Summary
After a presentation and detailed questions about deliverables and measurable outcomes, the board voted to table a three-year agreement (not to exceed $225,000) with the CSAC Foundation and the Ferguson Group for strategic grant consulting and optional grant-writing services pending additional due diligence and a list of participating counties.
Jamie Eng, Deputy County Administrator, introduced a proposed three-year agreement with the CSAC Foundation and the Ferguson Group to provide strategic grant consulting services to the county with a not-to-exceed total of $225,000 (annual base $50,000; optional grant-writing funds up to $75,000 annually by a la carte). Christy Moore of the Ferguson Group and Veronica Smith of the CSAC Foundation described the program: a tiered, proactive strategic funding plan and an option to accelerate grant-writing once projects are prioritized.
Supervisors pressed for measurable deliverables, metrics for success and a list of other counties participating in the program. Christy Moore said many CGI clients begin applying for grants in year one and that the multi-year structure focuses year one on strategic plan development with monthly reporting. After discussion, Supervisor Flores moved to table the item for further research and to request participating-county names; the board voted unanimously to table.
The motion to table was recorded and staff said they would provide the requested county list and facilitate a future presentation of the consultant materials currently unavailable on the meeting screen.
