allow the Council additional time to assess and identify priority areas for funding, <br />ensuring that awards address current and critical needs. <br />3. Recommendations on the Six -Month Progress Report and Review Process <br />Retain Key Elements of Six -Month and Final Reports <br />Most aspects of the six-month and final reports shall be retained, including contact <br />information, total grant award, percent of award claimed, budget upload, narrative <br />updates on program progress and next steps, upload of photos or documents <br />demonstrating progress and public benefit, and short descriptions of submitted files. <br />Remove Difficult -to -Report Fields from Six -Month Report <br />To reduce reporting burdens on grantees, two fields shall be removed from the six-month <br />report —though retained in the final report —as they are difficult to assess over a short <br />period. These fields include requests to list program activity outputs and short-term <br />outcome measures from the logic model, along with quantitative measurements of <br />progress. <br />Ensure Accessibility of Reports for Grantees <br />Links to both the six-month and final report should be made available at the beginning of <br />the grant period to ensure accessibility and preparedness. <br />I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our committee members, their staff, and Council <br />Services for their dedication to supporting an efficient process. It has been both an honor and a <br />privilege to serve as Chair of this committee. <br />I respectfully request that this communication be agendized for the LAAC Committee meeting <br />scheduled for October 7, 2025. <br />Mahalo. <br />HK/scm <br />
