The 9-1-1 Services Enterprise board discussed a draft grant application form and a two-tab budget template designed to simplify submissions from agencies seeking enterprise funding.
Daryl described the template as having a cover page for project and applicant identification and a second tab—a budget worksheet—dividing costs into categories the statute allows. "There's 2 tabs on this. The first tab is just a cover page... then on the second tab... I broke out the categories by the major categories that are allowed under the statute for these expenditure of 9 0 1 funds," Daryl said.
Board members suggested practical refinements: add an "other/miscellaneous" category for items that don't fit the listed buckets, lock or color-code auto-calculation cells on the cover page to prevent accidental edits, and include a short explanatory note pointing applicants to restricted fields. Lynn and others emphasized making the template easy for applicants while retaining enough detail for budget-review purposes.
The board set a target of having the application and template ready to go live after the June 3 meeting, with staff circulating edited copies in advance. Sage agreed to help with distribution and calendar postings via the public Zoom listing.
The board did not take a final vote; members directed staff to add the suggested catch-all category, secure cell protections for computed fields, and circulate the updated template for a final review at the June 3 meeting.
