BACKGROUND
The City Council has expressed interest in grant activities undertaken by City. This agenda
report and its attachment provides the Council information on grants applied for and received
by City staff. This agenda report also introduces Grant Tracker on the R -Net (the City's
intranet system).
The City's grant activity has been, and continues to be, significant and successful. Each
department has several employees actively involved in searching for and writing grants. When
seeking grants, the grant writer is evaluating the City's profile and needs against the grant's
funding criteria and requirements to determine a high or low probability of success. Also,th
current e
grant writers will evaluate a grant's administrative burden that could impact ct City
funds. Grants are defined as dollars for which the City would apply in order to receive
to need
the funds. Dollars, from sources such as CDBG, Prop A (both d to Transit and Parks), or TDA
Article 3, are not considered grants.
Grant Tracker is a computer program that was developed to help staff seek out, coordinate,
acquire, and track grants. It also helps staff keep current on grant resources and upcoming
grant workshops. The attached report, created from Grant Tracker, lists grants by category.
Grant Tracker also allows users to search for grants posted within its system, as well as seeking
out grants posted on the internet. In addition, users of Grant Tracker may access a calendar
where they can view upcoming grant workshops and register their intent to attend. Grant
Tracker is accessible to all employees who have access to R -Net.
The attached report is an inclusive look at all City grants. It is the first time Department -wide
grant activity can be found in one location.
