recently completed funding cycle and are reviewed by staff. New contracts are negotiated and
approved. The two-year funding cycle enters its first reporting quarter.
Dianne reviewed the financial/budget page and explained that staff had done this rating in the past. The
common funding application is a collaborative effort between 18 cities in King County. The application can
be tweaked for the next funding cycle, but can't have major changes. The regional collaboration is a
continuing work in progress and it is subject to refinement each time the process comes up. In 2013,the
cities will have a common reporting form for the first time.
The Rating Tool and Needs Assessment were briefly explained. The members decided to read and rate the
application for the next meeting; staff will email this information to the committee members.
