BACKGROUND
As part of the fiscal year 1999/2000 City budget, City Council approved the Community
Services Grant Program in the amount of $150,000. Of this budget amount, $20,000 was
designated for a bicycle and pedestrian safety campaign and $30,000 was earmarked for
community and commercial business beautification. The remaining $100,000 was designated
to assist non-profit organizations in filling community needs in two issue -specific categories:
The Arts ($50,000) and Family Violence Prevention ($50,000). Eligible projects include one-
time startup projects and program enhancements, capital expenditures, and special supplies.
The City received twenty (20) proposals totaling $140,273 for grant award consideration. On
December 17, 1999, the Community Services Grant Committee met to evaluate the proposals
based on the publicized grant application criteria. The Community Services Grant Committee
consisted of Jo Anne Darcy, Janice H. Heidt, George A. Caravalho, Barbara Boswell, Ken
Striplin, and Adele Macpherson.
The Committee is recommending a total of $93,816.80 in grant funds to be awarded
(Attachment A). The Committee is also recommending a total of $5,000 be earmarked for
one-time incentive awards for local clean-up projects. The Committee's final recommendation
is that the remaining grant fund balance of $1,183.20 to remain in account #7413-8110 to be
used for additional incentive awards.
