Powers

advisory. Decides: Nothing final. It reviews Human Services Fund applications each year, holds deliberation meetings (October) and recommends grant allocations to community agencies; it also meets applicants who appeal preliminary recommendations.. To council: Recommendations go to staff and the city manager, who approves the awards; the 2017 Human Services Strategy says awards are then affirmed by City Council (council sets the fund in the annual budget). source source source source as of 2026-10-29
