How will my application be reviewed and scored?

After your application is received:

• It will be reviewed by NTCA staff for eligibility.
• The application will then be passed onto the Chairs/Vice Chairs of the TOT Advisory, Zone 1 and TBID Advisory committees and Placer County Executive Staff for review and routing to the appropriate recommending committee.
• Between September 9-20, committee members will read applications and ask questions of applicants through the Submittable platform in preparation for applicant presentations.
• Applicant presentations are scheduled on either October 9 or 10. You will be notified in advance on which date you will be presenting. Please plan a 10-minute presentation on your project and include time for committee questions.
• Committee members will then score your application using the scoring criteria. 
• Your application will also be scored by NTCA staff for match requirements using the match scoring matrix. 
• Final committee recommendations will be made between November 11-22 and will be made before the NTCA Board for approval on December 5. For projects funded by TOT funds, the NTCA board will make recommendations to the Placer County Board of Supervisors in January 2025.
