ROLL CALL Present: Commissioners Julia Jones, Carol Sexton*, Maria Troy, and Chair Michelle Tasseff *Commissioner Sexton arrived at 5:12 p.m. Absent: Commissioners Robert Clayton, Janet Pierucci, and Gene Strohl, Staff Present: Tyler Corey, Housing Programs Manager; Rebecca Gershow, Associate Planner; and Monique Lomeli, Recording Secretary PUBLIC COMMENT There were no members of the public desiring to speak. 1. NEIGHBORHOOD MATCHING GRANTS PROGRAM Associate Planner Gershow narrated a PowerPoint presentation entitled “Neighborhood Matching Grant Program”. The presentation provided an overview of the proposed pilot grant program including, timeline, review process, draft guidelines and key areas for Commission input. The Commission had several inquiries and input for consideration regarding the draft program guidelines. The Commission expressed their desire that grants are distributed equitably across the City. Associate Planner Gershow said outreach would be broad and inclusive, and the program has a goal of evenly distributing grant awards to neighborhoods throughout the community. She also explained that the definition of neighborhoods is intended to be flexible, noting that this is a pilot program and it is desirable to allow applicants to self-select neighborhood boundaries, as long as they can demonstrate a broad neighborhood commitment to the proposed project. She noted that the City Council will be considering the draft guidelines at their August 18th meeting and staff will report back to the Commission regarding any grant program changes in the fall. 2.
