Community Contracts Adviser, Paul Prestidge, presented the report. He noted that a late application had been received and would be made available for consideration by the Funding Panel at the next meeting.
Attendance: Group Manager Community Services, Andrew White, joined the meeting at 11.18a.m. and assumed the chair.
Manager Community Services, Mark Preston-Thomas, answered questions about the origins of the residual funding and the narrow timeframe available to re-allocate the funds, as the funding was from the 2020/21 budget.
Discussion took place about the perception in the community regarding the allocation of the residual funding outside of the strategic and the small grant funding rounds.
Mr Prestidge and Mr Preston-Thomas answered questions about the initial selection and assessment process applied in order to identify and put forward suitable organisations for approval of grants from the residual funding.
The Panel discussed the application assessments provided. The Panel noted its preference to grant Whenua Iti the total amount requested.
It was agreed to amend attachment 2 (A2647006) to show agreed funding for Whenua Iti as $11,656 and $23,217 for Victory Community Centre. It was noted that this totalled $34,873, which was the entirety of the available residual funding.
The resolution was amended to reflect the agreed funding split.
There being no further business the meeting ended at 12.01p.m.
