Public Comments –None V. Budget Tracking Spreadsheet/Odette Oppe shared a spreadsheet on the 1/10th of 1% fund. The beginning balance for 2018 is $330,695.15 and Public Health estimates that the revenue for 2018 to be $490,490. Vicki said that number may be conservative because school construction may bring in more than the estimate of $490,490 in revenue, but Jill mentioned street construction could have an impact on businesses in the downtown area and health care costs could influence sales tax as well. Jill Landes spoke about the Courts having primacy over their budgets. VI. 1/10th of 1% RFP-2018 RFP Panel Recommendations/Members of the RFP Panel were Jill Buhler, Kathleen Kler, John Austin and Gay Neal, (from Kitsap County). At their final meeting the RFP Panel recommended funding $541,682.71 in RFP requests. That recommendation would leave a cash balance of $230,453.44 49 after we back out the reserves of $49,049.00. There was $699,251.69 in RFP requests. Odette went on to say that if the Committee funded all the requests, there would be an estimate of $72,884.49 as a cash balance after we back out the reserves of $49,049.00. 2 Anne said she is concerned with leaving in over $200,000 in reserves. Kathleen said there is a lo t of uncertainty and that we should consider not bringing the fund balance down to an low level. Kathleen went on to say, the RFP process was much more complicated this year, as we ha d a meeting with the Vendors who put forth a housing component on November 14th and with the Courts on December 21st. The RFP Panel met three times; November 2nd, November 8th and January 12th. A discussion ensued about the need to put out RFPs every two years because the Committee and Staff are spending too much time on the RFP process and funding decisions. Kathleen shared that if this Committee wants to get more done we should consider future RFPs that go out every two years. Sheila made a motion to accept the RFP Panel’s final recommendation of funding $541,682.71 in RFP requests. Jill seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote. VII.
