Board meetings and strategic plans from City of Charleston
The committee received a presentation regarding hurricane preparedness, covering coordination efforts, resource allocation, and evacuation planning. The committee reviewed and approved several grant applications, including the 2026-27 School Resources Officer Grant Program, the GY26 Port Security Grant, and a continuation application for the South Carolina Opioid Relief Fund. Furthermore, the committee authorized the submission of multiple Fire Department grant applications, including the 2025 FEMA SAFER and FP&S grants, the 2026 State Homeland Security grant, the 2026 Port Security grant, and the 2026 Homeland Security grant.
The Committee discussed the grant award process, including eligibility requirements for non-profits and the role of the Tourism Expenditure Review Committee in overseeing funds. They analyzed the scoring criteria for grant applications, which considers community impact and seasonal timing, and reviewed the timeline for the 2027 grant program. The Committee also examined the budget allocations, the impact of federal funding cuts on application volume, and the implications of setting maximum grant award caps, ultimately voting to recommend a 10% cap on grants funded by the accommodations tax.
