Free Shelter and the YMCA Detached Worker program, we discussed the additional allocations.
Discussion regarding the Prism request centered around the GV contribution in comparison to the other
citites served and the attention and services received by Golden Valley. It was determined that the

last year. There was brief discussion regarding the Suburban NW Dinner at Your Door proposal for
$1,500.00.

made for action. We will create a calendar, begin the process of communication with providers and start
98 with our proactive plan.
