  3. Status report on current projects (see spreadsheet). Ms. Martin gave an update on the current project list.
  4. Staff presented their 2025 grant award recommendation for award of additional funding. As the 2025 grant allocation came in $40,352 more than estimated there is an additional $32,282 in funding to award.  After discussion, the Advisory Committee decided to recommend awarding $30,000 of this additional funding to the Firestone Housing Rehab program II, which had been underfunded, allowing the program to serve an additional two households. Dean Moyer made a motion to award an additional $30,000 to Firestone and retain the remaining $2,282 as a contingency. Nicholas Wharton seconded. Staff will take the recommendation to the BOCC for their consideration. The motion was unanimously approved
