No one on the committee should be allowed to have any direct or indirect relationship with anyone receiving grants.
Moreover, the sheriff needs additional funds to raise starting salaries of his officers. Here is a pocket full of misused funds that could be redirected. It should be noted that the sheriff sits on this committee.
As someone with long time and various non-profit experience, this process of granting funds is severely flawed. No potential recipient of funds should be on the commodities granting funds. There are much better and fairer ways of meeting community needs. Either there are rules or guidelines. They need rules that are followed.
This is conflict of interest by definition.

It is strange that committee members have their own special interest.
Thank you for covering the CSAC, as well as other government activities and agencies that citizens are not likely to be aware of.
