Director Burrier-Lund noted that an agency with the highest score did not <br />get recommended for funding, and asked why this was the case. Members of the Task <br />Force noted that the proposal score was only one of many criteria utilized to evaluate <br />programs and that the Task Force attempted to fund programs in the areas of greatest <br />need. Several directors raised the concern that the process was not fully communicated <br />to the applicants, and that some agencies may be unaware that a high score did not <br />necessarily translate into an award of funding. Following the discussion, the Chair <br />asked that the Budget and Program Task Force consider the issue of clarifying the <br />evaluation process for awarding future Federal Empowerment Zone funds at its next <br />regular meeting, and report back to the Board of Directors with the necessary <br />recommendations. <br /> <br />Motion by Garza, seconded by Yanez to: <br /> <br />Approve the Budget and Program Task Force Recommendations for Second <br />Year Federal Empowerment Zone funding <br />Authorize the Executive Director to submit the approved programs to the United <br />States Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Federal <br />Empowerment Zone program year 2000-2001, and, <br />Direct the CiO~ Attorney to prepare, and authorize the Executive Director and <br />Board Secretary to execute agreements with the agencies awarded funds us part <br />of the approved program <br /> <br />SAEC MINUTES 42 SEPTEMBER 27, 2000 <br /> <br /> <br />
