have measurables, Marybeth Soucy Larkin also believes that a process would be very valuable to
the committee and the residents , Written process is paramount to this. Alberto states that
milestones and framework would be a positive thing. Deb states that she feels project
accountability, and clarity, schedules major milestones, Albert Fowler believes Project updates
would be very valuable. CJ Gangi states that securing our investments would/should also be key
to this process (i.e. restrictions).
Deb is going to take one of the current approved project and potentially design a grant agreement
based on that. Marybeth states that she believes there should be a step by step guide as to the
process. Also a reporting process and timelines should be included. Scope of work with line
items included. Project signs as a condition of the award (example: this project is funded by).
Maybe a project summary sheet as part of the final report (with pictures if applicable) (by the
applicant) Times limits, clarity of the final project. Maybe a keeper of the records for rights of
way. Website update and portfolio. Shoot for a September release of the new grant applications.
Ask Chris McClure to contact John Simmons in regard to revamping the website.
