🔆😎 Bright Futures Barrie Grant Adjudication Process
Report: https://barrie.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=12973575&GUID=C6381073-A148-46D4-87C9-1E98ADB778AF

Authorize the ex-officio members to appoint an alternate member of Council to serve in their place
Forward the recommendations of the panel to the Community Safety and Well-Being Committee for input and consultation prior to final approval of the recipients to receive the funding
Have this change take effect immediately, so the new panel can adjudicate the applications received for the 2025/2026 Bright Futures Barrie grant intake process in the fall of 2024
This is taking away staff involvement in the decision-making process, and leaving it entirely up to five members of Council who will receive grant money. While the Community Safety and Well-Being Committee will be able to give input, it is still Council Members who will be deciding (in camera) who will receive grant money. This appears to be a highly problematic and unethical setup.
