IV. New Business
a. Outside Agency Funding Request: The Council had received prior to the meeting three
applications for outside agency funding, as well as the scorecard, scoring instructions
and other documentation as requested.
The Council discussed, reviewed and scored applications from the following agencies:
Bridge II Sports, Piedmont Wildlife Center and Triangle Bikeworks.
Bridge 2 Sports received a score of 90.8 from the council. While ranking highly, it was
noted that the Council would find it helpful to see more prior year budgets and data.
Piedmont Wildlife Center received a score of 83.1 from the council.
Triangle Bikeworks received a score of 87.6 from the council. The Council felt that the
program had high value, but noted the cost per unit/participant was substantial, and that
the proposal was vague - more measurable outcomes would make application stronger.
V. Old Business
None
VI. Report of the Director
Stancil stated that he will need to speak to the council regarding spring programs,
summer camps and even park maintenance at the March meeting. Given the length of
the meeting for the Outside Agency scoring, this was the extent of the report for tonight.
