Community Involvement in the Evaluation Process
Those who make up the NTCA Board of Directors and the over 40 community volunteers who serve on the four committees the NTCA convenes, plus all of the community members who participated in the meetings and surveys that were conducted, ensured grant allocation decisions were made based on what was most important to those who live, work and play here.
The robust vetting and selection process included:
- Community-wide surveys to inform investment opportunity criteria and help assess priorities
- A request for Letters of Interest for eligible investment opportunities
- Committee review of received Letters of Interest for projects requesting funding
- Presentations by project applicants to committees convened by the NTCA
- Review and consideration of all applications by committees, including a joint committee meeting open to the public to discuss prioritization and funding of the projects
- Committee recommendations were presented to the NTCA Board of Directors
- The NTCA Board of Directors approved TBID-funded projects and recommended approval of TOT-funded projects to the Placer County Board of Supervisors
- Investment opportunities sponsored with TOT funds presented to the Placer County Board of Supervisors for approval
