In late October, the Senate received 27 proposals, each requesting a portion of the $256,000 for a specific program. However, after numerous meetings, a Senate committee integrated the proposals which reduced the number of proposals to 16, and then to 10.
"Many of the proposals either had structural problems or did not meet the specified criteria," Menees said. "We had to screen them."
