before the June meeting, the Committee members read and scored the Renton Clothes Bank application,
and compared notes. The question regarding the Board's diversity was discussed (how is diversity defined,
and what is considered under the threshold?) It was discussed whether a range of points for each question
or just a pass/fail, yes/no answer, should be used. The question of rating the availability of services to
Renton residents, when the service is a telephon�based connector service, was discussed.

7. Soft Fundina Tarqets Committee members were referred to the previous spreadsheet prepared by
Tony, for options available for soft funding targets. Decision was postponed and this may be further
discussed at the June funding deliberations.
8. Fundinq considerations Should there be a minimum level of funding for agencies, especially
considering the cost of administering contracts?This may be further discussed in the future. The
importance of serving Renton residents was also mentioned.
9. Aqencv Interviews Robin brought up this question early in the meeting: Should HSAC interview the six
new applicants, and those that had performance problems in 2007 {WWEE, CCS/ARISE)? There was
discussion regarding the logistics of interviews, and the fact that most HSAC members are new and have
not observed previous agency interviews. It was suggested that the question be brought up again soon.
However, it was moved, seconded, and a majority voted against interviewing any agencies at the June
agency funding deliberations.
The meeting was adjoumed at 5:04 p.m.
