Introduction of Agencies in attendance No one was in attendance when the meeting started. Doug Wall from Level -Up Strategies came in about 30 minutes before the meeting ended. 2. Introduction of New Hanover County staff David Rice, Gwen Hill and Scott Steinhilber were in attendance, but introductions were not done since there was no one in the audience. 3. Introduction of Committee Members & Announcement (see other side) In attendance were Shane Hartley, Gail Eddie, John Hinnant, Clare Kiley, Candy Robbins and Tyler Braswell. Introductions were not done since there was no one in the audience. 4. Continue Discussing Ineligible Requests The committee resumed discussions of the application and eligible funding requests starting with #46 Historic Wilmington Foundation and ending on #59 Thalian Hall. Scott was updating the spreadsheet with ineligible funding amounts and Gwen was recording the reasons something on an application wasn't eligible for funding and making other notes. 5. Other Discussions There were some agencies that did not itemize their expenses on the Reporting Form/Worksheet, which made it very hard for the committee to tell how much was requested for an expense. Also, there were some that typed in "miscellaneous" for some expenses. Neither of these is acceptable. Some asked for funds to pay cash awards or stipends to get people to attend meetings or pay participants to work in a summer program. These are also not acceptable. The committee feels the public should not be asked to fund these types of things. There was discussion that the committee probably would not get through the remaining applications on Friday so it was decided that they would meet on Monday, April 7 to hopefully complete all applications and then meet again on Wednesday, April 9 to start looking at the scores and decide on funding recommendations to get to the $1.6M allotment.
