Carlisle council approves disbursement from outside-agencies fund to local groups
Summary
Council approved distribution from the borough’s outside-agencies allotment of the 2025 budget to multiple local organizations, listing individual award amounts. The program runs twice a year and the council said another round will be held in September.
At the June 4 workshop, Carlisle Borough Council voted to approve disbursement of outside-agency funds from the 2025 budget to local nonprofit and community groups.
The deputy mayor moved approval of the disbursements and the motion carried on a voice vote. The council approved the list of awards as read into the record: Bluegrass and the Grass Festival — $1,500; Carlisle Community Coalition — $2,000; Carlisle Summer Fair — $500; Central PA Annual HBCU College and Workforce Fair — $1,000; Community Empowerment Services — $750; Hope Station — $2,000; Lamberton Community Gardens — $750; Project Sheriff, Carlisle Regain Your Life — $750; and Shakespeare Page to Stage — $750.
Council discussion noted the outside-agencies process occurs twice yearly with approximately $20,000 available total for the program ($10,000 roughly in each round, though the precise split depends on applications). The council said the next round is scheduled for September.
The meeting record does not attach special conditions to the awards beyond the standard disbursement approval. No detailed vote tally by member was recorded in the transcript; the mayor called for the question and members responded “aye.”
