Chris DiBella stated that if the Association had more money and more time we could hire a professional company to write the grant, however with the time restraint and the lack of funds the only way to move forward is to have the Joe Giarrusso who has a good track record in grant approval to write the grant. Jeanne Pappalardo also noted that if the Association had $15,000 we could have a professional company write the grant, but we don’t. She thanked Gerry McCall for bringing Geosyntec to the meeting and said she heard great comments from people about the presentation.<br> | Chris DiBella stated that if the Association had more money and more time we could hire a professional company to write the grant, however with the time restraint and the lack of funds the only way to move forward is to have the Joe Giarrusso who has a good track record in grant approval to write the grant.
