FOR COMMUNITY ACTIVITY GRANTS CITY MANAGER /iK
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2015-121 accepting the funding recommendations by the Community
Activity Grants Citizen Review Committee and approving the disbursement of funds to the identified
organizations on a reimbursement basis only.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
Under the guidelines established in Council Policy No. 51, a seven-member Citizen Review Committee
was appointed by the City Council to review the FY 2014-15 Community Activity Grant applications and
formulate funding recommendations to the City Council. These guidelines specify that a citizen review
panel be assembled consisting of the following community members: one representative from each
quadrant of the city, one Senior Commission member, one Library Board of Trustees member, and one
Parks & Recreation Commission member.
The grant applications were due to the Housing & Neighborhood Services Department by January 5,
2015. Through the annual budget process, a total of $10,000 was made available to the community for
enrichment programs, and a total of three (3) eligible grant applications were received by the City with
funding requests totaling approximately $26,955. The Citizen Review Committee met twice during the
month of February, reviewed the individual grant applications and considered each on its own individual
merits. All grant applications were evaluated by the Committee based on the level of enrichment
provided to residents or enhancement to neighborhoods, organizational experience and expertise, and
scope or extent of the projects offered to the community.
As a result of careful review and evaluation, the Citizen Review Committee elected to recommend the
full $10,000 available in funding. Although there is no specific evaluation criteria within City Council
Policy No. 51, the Committee used its discretion to make funding recommendations that it felt best met
the intent of the Community Activity Grant program to enrich or enhance the community.
2015 Citizen Review Committee Recommendations
The Citizen Review Committee has made the funding recommendations set forth in the chart below.
These recommendations and final grant awards may be modified at the discretion of the City Council.
Upon approval, grantees will be required to enter into grant agreements with the city and will be
awarded the funds on a reimbursement basis only.
