RIRA PPF Chair Dave Evans adds;

The PPF Committee (Dave Evans-Chair, Erin Feely-Nahem, and Frank Farance spent considerable time reviewing the applications of 11 candidates, deliberating, and eventually settling upon the recommended funding as per your list above. Given the somewhat sense of urgency and other challenges, I submitted the report (noting the President and Vice-President of the Common Council) directly to RIOC.

Will update when the full recommendation report for analysis of allocation recommendations.
