On June 12, 2018, staff presented the Social Service Funding Advisory Board’s recommendations to the City Commission during the budget presentation. At that point, the City Commission directed staff to spend down fund balance in the Special Alcohol Fund. The adopted budget included an additional $37,000 for social service agencies.

 

On August 28, 2018, the Social Service Funding Advisory Board meet to discuss how to reallocate funds with the addition of $37,000 in the Special Alcohol Fund.
