BACKGROUND
As part of the Fiscal Year 1998-99 City budget, City Council approved the Community Services
Grant Program in the amount of $150,000. Of this budget amount, $40,000 was rolled over
from Fiscal Year 1997-98 and was earmarked for School Traffic Safety grants. The remaining
$110,000 was designated to assist non-profit organizations in filling community needs in four
issue -specific categories: The Arts ($50,000), After -School Programs ($20,000), Family Violence
Prevention ($20,000), and Substance Abuse Prevention Programs ($20,000). Eligible projects
include one-time startup projects and program enhancements, capital expenditures, and special
supplies.
The City received thirty-one (31) proposals totaling $224,447 for grant award consideration. On
December 2, 1998, the Community Services Grant Review Committee met to evaluate the
proposals and provide a recommendation on grant awards to City Council.
The Committee is recommending a total of $114,948 in grant funds to be awarded (Attachment
A). The committee further recommends that $10,000 be reserved in the Community Services
Grant fund to assist the Wm. S. Hart School District work with the City Traffic Division to
implement a school safety plan including striping, lights, and street signs. The committee's

final recommendation is that the remaining grant fund balance of $25,052 be rolled into the
City Council Contingency Fund, to be used at City Council discretion.
The Santa Clarita International Film Festival, a non-profit organization offering a multi-
cultural cinematic experience to Santa Clarita 5' and 6' grade students, has additionally
requested a one-time allocation of $5,000 to carry out their 1999 program. Requested funding
would be used to rent the theater screen, projector, and other equipment at Edwards Cinemas,
and would subsidize event costs such as busing students to the theater, a projectionist, and
printing. Funds authorized by City Council would come out of the Council Contingency Fund
# 1240-7401.

deposited into the City Council contingency fund #1240-7401 for use at City Council discretion.
