, Member Groth questioned the report of Boys and Girls Club's goal of serving 600
, and reporting that only 81 had been serviced in the pust 5 months. Mr. Holmcs replied
that most of their activity is done during the summer months.
Member Groth also questioned the Homeless Emergency Project's funding of
$54,000 and expended $89,000. Ms. Bandoni explained that expenditure represents last

,Ms. Bandoni advised that the scoring of applications by the Technical Review,
Committee will take place on May 14 and then on May 15, at the NAHAB meeting,
scoring results will be unveiled to all of the sub-recipients The NAHAB will then be
presented two options; one would be 100% funding for each of top scoring agencies and
,the other option would be on the sliding scale like last year. Then they will be able to be
reviewed and determined at the next meeting.
Ms. Bandoni stated that the quarterly meetings this year were satisfactory,
however, she finds that the time in between is a little too long. She said that in trying to
prepare things and meeting with developers and potential buyers and conversations with
sub~r~cipients wanting money, it was difficult to do on a quarterly basis. Therefore, she
asked the Board if they would be willing to meet every other month starting in
September. MemberJoyce Smith moved to have the NAHAB meetings on a bi-monthly
basis starting in 'September. The motion was duly seconded.
Mr. Groth questioned January 16, 200 I minutes, page 2, paragraph #6. Ms.
, Bandoni replied that this,year, Pinellas County pledged a bond for single family
financing. The bond provides first~time homebuyers with a much lower interest rate.
They also look~d for a secondary financing for down-payment and closing cost
assistance. They have, in the past, provided,their own SHIP funds for the purpose of
filling the gap for first-time homebuyers. Earlier in the year they contacted our office and
asked if we would be interested in putting up some of our SHIP money for
, the purposes of participating in the Bond Program for people who want to purchase
homes in the City of Clearwater. The State of Florida was contacted and they advised
