| Agency Request Review Committee
|
|
| Each year, the Town of Hinesburg receives numerous requests for funding
from social service agencies that serve the residents of our community. It is necessary to review, evaluate and prioritize
agency requests in order to maximize the value residents receive from the tax dollars appropriated. The total amount of funds requested by agencies is typically greater than what the Selectboard feels can reasonably be supported by tax dollars. The mission of the Hinesburg Agency Request Review Committee is to establish a process for reviewing and evaluating funding requests, and then utilize the process to create a funding recommendation to present to the Selectboard during the annual budgeting process. The Selectboard will consider the committee’s recommendation in preparing a budget to present to voters. |

September 16, 2011 The Hinesburg Selectboard will soon begin work on the FY 2012-13 budget (July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013). Each year, the Town of Hinesburg receives numerous requests for funding from agencies that provide social services to the residents of our community. We ask that each agency requesting funding complete the Agency Request Form (see below) in order for the Selectboard and the taxpayers to have the information necessary to make informed decisions regarding the dispersal of the limited funds available for this purpose. Decisions are made with particular regard for the number of Hinesburg residents each agency serves, so it is important to provide that number. A clear and concise description of services provided is also helpful. If your agency received funding from the Town of Hinesburg last year, any increase in your request for this year will need to be justified by either an increase in services to the Town or special circumstances. (Please describe.) If your agency has not previously received funding from the Town of Hinesburg, having a Hinesburg resident who can act as an advocate for your agency, either to the Selectboard during the budget meetings or at Town Meeting in March, will be advantageous. Please return the completed form—either electronically or via regular mail--along with any supporting documents you feel would be helpful to the decision-making process. Documents sent electronically should be in .doc or .pdf format. Agencies that do not submit the Agency Request Form will not be considered for funding. We have tried to provide ample time to complete the application request. To find out if your application has been approved and, if so, the amount of the appropriation, please call the Town Administrator’s Office at 482-2281 ext. 222 after Town Meeting. If an appropriation has been approved, funds will be available only after the beginning of the new fiscal year, July 1, 2012. Please mail or email a request or invoice to the Town Administrator’s Office after that date in order to receive the funds. If you have any questions regarding the process for review of agency funding please do not hesitate to contact me at 482-2281 ext. 222.
