The idea is to have several smaller family and neighborhood oriented events in lieu of the one, allowing the residents, organizations, associations, etc. to come up with, plan and run these smaller events.  Working Grant Application Review Meeting  Purpose: The purpose for the grant application process review, is to hopefully simplify the process, reduce confusion, reduce rejects based on incomplete data, and improve process efficiency.  Discussion: The group discussion led to the following:  First Step: Establishing and incorporating an “Idea-Letter” which is submitted prior to the grant application submittal.  Purpose: The Idea Letter is the first step of the Neighborhood Grant application process to allow us early review of the project concept and to help our customer navigate the rest of the process.  Homework: Review and comment on the City of Shoreline “Idea-Letter” as it will conform to our use.  Next Steps (in no particular order):  Review and adjust the application process, as necessary Page 1 of 2   Reformat application, as necessary  Rewrite and reformat application instructions The meeting was adjourned at 7:00 PM The next meeting TBD pending on homework assignment results Minutes by: Steve Edwards Page 2 of 2
