Other Matters:

• Commissioners voted 6-0 with one abstention from Commissioner Eguino due to internet connectivity issues, to adopt the Grants Committee recommendation to approve $4,000 in funds for Capitol Hill Mon- tessori PTSO Urban Food Forest. The funds will primarily be used for supplies and the construction of a garden shed to store tools.

• Commissioners voted 5-0 with two abstentions from Commissioners Eguino and Kelty, to adopt the Grants Committee recommendation to provide $10,000 in funding to the Stuart-Hobson Middle School auditorium renovation project. The funds will primarily be used to help repair walls and repaint the auditorium.
