The terms of reference for the committee were approved on July 22, 2024.
It exists to review applications and provide recommendations on funding allocations.
“We’ve got a committee of people, volunteers and one city council member, that has the input to decide how the money’s allocated,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers. “A group of community residents that have a very good handle in the community act as an advisory committee, which in turn makes a recommendation to council.”
They provide recommendations from the Family and Community Support Services grant, Saskatchewan Lotteries Community grant and Safe and Healthy Community grant. The next meeting to discuss allocations is scheduled for October.
“If council were to reappoint them today, then they will be back in place and ready for the next allocation meeting scheduled for October, where they will review the FCSS grants which are currently open,” said Lancaster.
Council voted in favour at the Aug. 18 council meeting of reappointing Linda Kappel, Alison Weaver and Kristine Knourek to a two-year term.
