When the Apache Junction Health and Human Services Commission deliberates this month to determine which of eight nonprofit agencies seeking a total of $218,700 in funding from the city of Apache Junction will be funded it will do so with only six of its seven members as a commissioner works with one of the applicants.
The commission, comprised of volunteers who will make a recommendation to the City Council on which ones should receive fiscal year 2026-27 funding, met March 9 to interview the applicants. Last year the city provided $90,000 in funding.
Commissioner Della Wood was absent because she has a conflict of interest, City Clerk Evie McKinney said.
