1. Presentation of Agenda
Sheryl reviewed the agenda with the committee and introduced Gail Eddie, new committee
member. Gwen then reviewed the documents included in the committee packets. There is
a Missing Paperwork report that lists all the agencies that have not yet submitted certain
required documents as part of the application process.
2. Overview of Social Impact Fund Pilot
Sheryl explained the pilot and that three programs were chosen from the non -county agency
funding applications. Those programs are: #11 Coastal Horizons RESET for substance use
prevention/treatment; #12 Child Development Center for early childhood learning; and #32
Phoenix Employment Services for workforce readiness. These agencies will receive three
years of funding contingent upon the achievement of specified performance targets.
The county will fund $265,000 for the Social Impact Fund pilot, and $735,000 will be
allocated to the Non -County Agency Funding Committee for funding recommendations.
3. Summary of Non -County Agency Mid -Year Performance Reports
Sheryl reviewed the consolidated performance report and highlighted those agencies that
reported performance issues. The committee requested additional information regarding the
missed performance targets for Wilmington Children's Museum, Inc. Healthy Plate.
4. Funding History for Non -County Agencies Applying for FY20-21 Funding
Sheryl briefly reviewed the funding history report.
5. Methodology for Evaluating Applications
Sheryl reviewed the rubric used last year for evaluating applications. The committee agreed
to keep the same criteria for scoring the FY20-21 applications. The committee assigned each
application to one of eight buckets, which represent the primary service areas for human
services. It was suggested that next year a question be added to the funding application
asking the agency to select the bucket for which the program best aligns.
The committee requested more information on the primary purpose of #17 Community
Enrichment Initiatives MLK Community Kitchen prior to assigning this program to a bucket.
Gwen will request further information from this agency. The committee also requested
summary information on the scoring methodology that was used for FY18-19 allocations, and
Gwen will share this information with the committee.
6. Adjourn
Gwen will email a list of the bucket choices and the scoring rubric to committee members for
evaluating the FY20-21 applications. The completed rubric is due back to Gwen by March 6.
The next committee meeting is Thursday, March 12 at 9:00 am in the Harrell Conference
Room.
