Each <br /> application requires a City Council Resolution. There are a few <br /> projects which I could prepare if the City Council wishes me to pursue <br /> them. CDBG criteria typically awards projects that are assisting start- <br /> up costs to projects that can be continued and operated by the community <br /> in the future. Therefore, operational (staffing) requests are rarely <br /> awarded. Capital purchases are more likely awarded. Possible grant <br /> projects are: <br /> 1111 <br /> 1. Project: Recreation activities specifically for pockets of the <br /> community including manufactured home parks and concentrated <br /> apartment building areas where low income families tend to reside. <br /> This project would include the purchase of a vehicle equipped with <br /> portable park items used for recreational activities at these <br /> sites. This is capital start-up costs and therefore falls within <br /> the grant provisions. However, the Council needs to agree that <br /> this program should be provided and that either additional staffing <br /> funding is necessary or funds should be diverted from current <br /> subsidized youth programming to this new subsidized program. <br /> 2 . Another project would be equipping a Community Center facility or <br /> Teen Center facility. This would include costs of purchasing <br /> equipment and materials such as furniture, foosball table, <br /> refrigerator, microwave, vending machines, TV, VCR, Sega Genesis, <br /> ping pong tables, etc. This is capital start-up costs and would <br /> have good application to this grant. However, I know that the <br /> Community Center and Teen Center facility is still in discussion at <br /> this time and there is no concrete decision made. <br /> 1/ 7 < <br /> /(2 •/. .4'. <br /> Mary Saarioin, 'Director marks, Recreation and Forestry <br /> 4111 <br /> RECOMMENI11TION: . <br />
