II. ACTION ITEMS/ DISCUSSION CALENDAR
Item 1: Discussion and potential approval of Resolution 2020-02 Authorizing Application for funding under the 2020 Resource Conservation District Financial Program Grant.
President Corona brought to the Boards attention the discrepancy found in the numbers provided in the support material due to the app not converting correctly. On Page 2 of the Fiscal Impact it should read $21,000.00 in lieu of $18,500.00. Updated documents were sent out via email for review. This grant will be earmarked to build capacity for the District, to include a hiring a consultant to focus our energies and help make decisions to grow the capacity of the RCD, and a better website to work towards strengthening our district, along with other things such as a structure and plan for a future District Manager. The due date for submittal is June 25, 2020. General discussion on dollar amounts based on time the Board puts in that may be considered as in-kind donation, estimates received to build a new website versus enhancing what we have in place, what happens if we exceed the grant amount and finally, how we should have a committee work together to feed ideas to better enhance the website. President Corona requests a motion to approve Resolution 2020-02 and Director Parkes moved and Director Battiato seconded. Motion passed unanimously 5-0.
Item 2: Discussion and potential approval of TEAM RCD long-range and Annual Workplans to accompany above RCD Financial Assistance Program.
General discussion and with no questions, President Corona requests a motion to approve Annual Workplans to accompany the above RCD Financial Assistance Program Grant and Director Battiato moved and Director Parkes seconded. Motion passed unanimously 5-0.
III. ADJOURNMENT
