Glendale approves $15,000 annual agreement for Galena ARC youth sports; council asks for spending breakdown
Summary
The council approved an annual agreement with Galena ARC to fund summer youth sports programs — roughly $15,000 — but members asked the ARC for a clearer breakdown of how additional funds would be used.
The Glendale City Council voted June 23 to approve an annual agreement with Galena ARC to fund summer youth sports services in the community for a sum recorded in the meeting as approximately $15,000.
The motion to approve the agreement was made during the meeting by Jay Westlake. Council discussion followed: Alderperson Cindy Johnson said she wants to see a larger allocation and said, “my understanding is that of the 15 k, 5 k is for the sports, and 10 k is for the childcare.”
A separate council member noted on the record that the $15,000 in this agenda item was intended for the summer sports program and “wasn’t dealing with child care,” and council members asked that the ARC provide a clearer budget breakdown if it wished to request additional funds in the future.
Other council members said they support the ARC but want documentation showing how additional money would be spent before increasing the city’s contribution. The council did not amend the agreement at the meeting; the motion to approve the annual agreement carried as announced by the chair.
The transcript does not specify who at Galena ARC attended the meeting; council members referenced a “Mr. Decker” as the ARC contact and asked him to provide a cost breakdown for additional funding requests in a future meeting.
