UNFINISHED BUSINESS (12/5/23, 1/9/24 and 1/23/24) Outside Agency Program Funding Discussion/Direction/Action: Increasing the overall budget for the Outside Agency Program social services category grants (CWD grants) for FY25 from the current $3.26M to $3.86M, an increase of $600,000.00. As we know, the pandemic exacerbated long-standing inequalities in American society, including here in Pima County. Those who experienced the greatest hardship in terms of housing, employment, food insecurity and more, were those who already were among the most vulnerable in our community. The needs, therefore, for additional support for our community members who are low-income, elderly, disabled, and the young, are greater than ever before. The Outside Agency Program is funded through the General Fund. All programs are administered by nonprofit partners across the county through a competitive RFP process. (District 2)

Upon roll call, motion failed 1-4, Chair Grijalva, and Supervisors Christy, Lee and Scott voted nay. Motion 2: Motion by Supervisor Heinz, seconded by Chair Grijalva that per the recommendation of the CAC, any shortfalls in projected revenues over the 20-year lifetime of the RTA Next Plan be applied equally across all categories of the plan, in terms of necessary cuts or scaling back of projects and initiatives needed; and further, that the voters be made aware of this contingency plan clearly in the ballot language.
