Meeting Date: 4/13/92 <br />Agenda Item: D-4 <br />CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br />PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION <br />ITEM DESCRIPTION: Recreation Program Scholarship Program <br />SUBMITTED BY: Carol Kriegler <br />REVIEWED BY: N/A <br />EXPLANATION/SUMMARY: Listed in this year's summer recreation <br />program brochure is information regarding the opportunity for a <br />program scholarship. The scholarship program is intended to <br />provide youngsters with the opportunity to participate in our <br />programs when it might otherwise not be possible due to <br />financial reasons. This program was initiated after the city <br />received an anonymous gift of $100 to be used for this purpose. <br />The city now needs to establish a policy in an attempt to <br />successfully manage this program. Issues to be discussed <br />include: <br />- Eligibility (residents vs. non-residents), to what <br />extent, if any, "need" must be demonstrated <br />- Possible revenues to sustain program <br />- Scholarship value (partial program cost vs. full) <br />- Limits: # of programs seasonally, annually, etc. <br />Carol Kriegler will report on the policies used by other city's <br />recreation departments in managing their scholarship programs. <br />ATTACHMENTS: Application form currently being used to establish <br />our program. <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Make recommendations concerning the <br />establishment of a scholarship program. <br />
