Evaluation Process
A staff member from each of the following departments will make up a PIN Grant Review Committee:
• Parks and Recreation
• Neighborhood and Development Services
• Public Works
• City Manager’s Office
Staff will be provided the full applications and attachments to review prior to the review meeting. to
the Ranking Criteria. Staff will also recommend a funding level for each application based on the
outcome of the ranking. These results will be sent to all PIN grant applicants as well as all other
Neighborhood Council representatives for their review.
If there is the interest by an applicant to appeal the decision of the staff committee, a Neighborhood
Council meeting can be scheduled to discuss that appeal if the majority of neighborhood
representatives involved in the review process support that appeal request. The staff
recommendation can be adjusted upon majority support by those neighborhoods involved in the
appeal discussion. The staff review committee will be notified of any change to their initial
recommendation.
When a final appropriation of grant funding has been approved by both staff and neighborhood
association representatives, a memo to the City Council will be drafted by the Neighborhood Council
explaining the process and final funding appropriation before the end of June of each funding year.
