MALDEN — Climate commission reviewed 13 applications for its youth climate action fund and scheduled follow-up discussion. Chairperson Ricky Ma and Vice Chairperson Amanda Treat guided commission members through the scoring process using the program's evaluation rubric. City Liaison Rebekah McPheeters flagged a constraint: Friends of the Malden River submitted 5 applications but grant rules limit partners to 3 sponsorships each; the commission noted other partners were available to support applications if needed.
Insufficient time for full discussion prompted scheduling a virtual meeting to review consolidated scores and discuss the applications. The commission scheduled an annual report presentation to City Council on October 20.
