The Chair called the meeting to order at 10:11 a.m. at City Hall.
To provide continuity for research, items are in agenda order although not necessarily discussed in that order.
Economic Development Director Alan Ferri instructed the NAHAB (Neighborhood & Affordable Housing Advisory Board) members to work independently ranking the agencies who have applied
for CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funds. NAHAB scores will be added to the TRC (Technical Review Committee) scores. The agencies who score highest will receive funding.
There is not enough money for all applying agencies to be funded. NAHAB members should judge agencies based on their presentations, monthly reports, and ability to meet State, Federal,
etc., objectives. In answer to a question, he said NAHAB members do not have the option of allotting partial funding. Unspent funds will return to the City pool. In answer to a question,
he said most TRC members have first hand knowledge of the agencies through their jobs at HRS, Pinellas County Social Action, etc. He advised members with conflicts of interest not
to rank the agencies with which they work.
