5. New Business
A. Contribution Process
Marina Kaplan worked on the changes discussed in previous meetings; she explained why the process takes
place; changed the ethics of scoring and the time line.
1. Suggested to change question #1 regarding the threshold of how much they want to
support an organization with attendance; i.e. People vs time/ purpose and cost with
expected attendance.
2. Schools are city supported already as a line item; contribution portion needs to get
final financial report.
Concerns from Committee: schools taking advantage of automatic funding, becoming an auditing
committee for contributions; need definition of school vs organization; concern for outside City Limits
schools such as charter schools, home schools, etc.
Grant Healy suggested a workshop meeting next week to review process of grading and specifics for clarity.
Suggested day and time, Friday, June 15 @ 11 am at the Adele Grage Center. Marina will lead session.
B. Atlantic Beach Bike Ride – Bob Burch proposed for two sub-committee members to plan
a family bike ride from East Coast Dr. to Seminole Road and reverse/ Beach Ave. to Ocean Blvd.
Contacted Safe Kids to help with helmets
Restrictions under age 8 accompanied by an adult. Perhaps a senior ride or Family ride
Will need volunteers and Atlantic Beach Police Department, fire rescue for first aid; would
not be a major cost
Guest speakers to talk about history, Boy Scouts to provide food, partner with AB
Elementary or Presbyterian Church.
Paula O’Bannon volunteered to assist with planning with Bob Burch. She suggested to
do in groups of level activity or color groups.
Timmy Johnson addressed amount of staff time; Bob Burch indicated would be good to
do after Labor Day in the fall or spring around the Beaches opening.
