PRE-APPLICATION SCORING SYSTEM To be eligible for consideration by the Board, all applicants must: • State what other sources of funding have been considered by the, local units of government to implement the project and explain why it is not possible to complete the project without assistance from the Board. At its meeting on August 22, 1995, the Board approved a resolution informing all potential applicants that preference will be given to applications that: • propose an innovative idea for a cooperative planning, service budget management model, or service sharing pilot project. An innovative idea includes an activity which has not been previously funded by the Board and is not already being done within the state; • focus on the improved delivery of an existing public service, as opposed to applications that focus on new services or service enhancements; and • anticipate improved public service outcomes, and which incorporate a realistic method for measuring those improved outcomes. All eligible pre-applications will be evaluated using the following point scoring system. Points Criteria 15 The extent to which the pre-application demonstrates creative thinking and cooperation. 20 The extent to which the proposed project is likely to improve the quality of the service and to have benefits for other local governments. 20 The extent to which the pre-application reflects the statutory goal of the grant program. 15 The merit of the proposed project and the extent to which it warrants the state's financial participation. When considering the merit of the proposed project, the Board will focus on the extent to which the proposed project will improve service outcomes and the ability of the applicant to define how the improvement in service outcomes will be measured.
