V. Action and Discussion: Review Draft Report and Funding Recommendations
The minutes of December 6th, 12th, 17th and 19th were approved.
This meeting is being held to clarify a few things and to review recommendations for FY14. The
Nantucket Center for Elder Affairs had submitted a request for funds and then withdrew it. This can
be a footnote on the report.
Does the committee want to recommend funding beyond what is allocated? Funding requests this
year totaled $395,500.00 and funding has been level funded at $317,883 for the past three years,
also there were two additional requests this year. With cuts, the CRC made recommendations that
totaled $332,000 which is $14,117.00 over last year. The CRC will make these recommendations
with the increase.
A motion to stay with recommendations, including the increase, was made and seconded, all
members agreed.
These recommendations are made by the Contract Review Committee (CRC) after meeting and
interviewing all the agencies, and then they go to the Finance Committee (FinCom) for review, then
the Board of Selectmen (BOS) for approval. It is important for the FinCom to see how the CRC
came up with their recommendations; it is good for them to see documentation.
Mary is working on the report for the FinCom that includes CRC funding history; community needs
and rationale behind the CRC recommendations. The FinCom meeting is scheduled for Monday
January 28th at 4:00 and then the CRC recommendation will be on the BOS agenda for February 6th.
The final recommendations the committee made are:
A Safe Place $45,000
Alliance for Substance Abuse Prevention $ 4,000
Elder Services $13,000
Family Planning $ 10,000
Family & Children’s Services $110,000
