MTG. 12/l 8/01 APPROPRIATE FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE CITY AlN a
DEPT. FIN CARLSBAD POP WARNER FOOTBALL TEAM CITY MGR.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
If Council chooses to fund the request, the action would be to adopt Resolution
No. do0 I- 3g3 authorizing a donation to support the Carlsbad Pop Warner Football Team.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Several years ago, the Council set aside $1 million to provide an endowment for grants,
which would enhance the quality of life for Carlsbad’s residents and/or visitors. The
interest earned on the endowment funds is used to provide the grants to the applicants.
This year, there was $65,000 available in the fund to be used for the grant program.
The grant applications were due into City offices by October 1, 2001. A seven (7) member
Citizen Review Committee reviewed the applications and recommendations were made to
Council on December 4, 2001 for the distribution of this year’s grants. The Committee’s
recommendation was to fund eight (8) of the requests for a total of $59,000. Council
approved the committee’s recommendations at that meeting. The grant applications
received and the amounts funded are shown in Exhibit 1.
Towards the end of November, the City received a request from a representative of the
Carlsbad Pop Warner football team for $4,000 to help pay the expenses of the team’s trip
to Orlando Florida. The Carlsbad Pop Warner “Charging Lancers” football team is the Jr.
Pee Wee WESCON (Southwestern United States Region) champion. The team traveled to
Florida during the week of December 3, 2001 to compete in the National Pop Warner
Super Bowl Tournament. The team is requesting financial support to assist in the team’s
expenses for the trip.
This request was not received in time to be evaluated under the regular community
activities grant program and it cannot wait until the next year as it is not an “every year”
occurrence. Thus, the request is being brought to Council out of sequence.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If Council wishes to fund this request, there is approximately $6,000 remaining in
appropriations in the Community Activities Grants fund, which could be used without
impacting future grant appropriations. Any amounts in excess of this will begin to erode the
principal of the fund and would require additional principal contributions to keep the fund at
$1 million.
Adoption of the attached resolution will authorize the donation in an amount of $4,000.
