'The only reason I'm hearing is somebody heard something from someone,' Public Service Grant Council member James Coggin said. 'That's not enough specificity.'
the most unpredictable aspect of finalizing the budget has been whether City Council will change the process that's already under way for awarding grants through the Public Service Grant Council.The proposed 2022-23 budget would boost the amount of public service grants from about $3.5 million this year to $6 million in the budget starting Oct. 1.

Allowing more organizations to submit applications would widen that gap by an undetermined amount. After the Public Service Grant Council went on record against that proposal, City Council member Matt Carlucci proposed a compromise approach to reopen the application process for a week in October but keep it as a single round for the awards.
