Council approves Minnetonka Family Collaborative mini‑grant to fund youth academy
Summary
The council approved a mini‑grant to the Minnetonka Family Collaborative to support a youth academy that will provide leadership and policing exposure to 25 students, councilors said.
The Minnetonka City Council on May 19 approved a mini‑grant awarding funds to the Minnetonka Family Collaborative to support a youth academy that will engage roughly 25 students with leadership training and police department interaction.
Council member Coakley, who pulled the consent item for brief discussion, said the program is intended to build youth leadership and positive relations with police. Council member Calvert praised the collaborative and urged community support for local nonprofit partners as federal grants shrink.
Council member Coakley moved to adopt the resolution approving the grant; Council member Calvert seconded. The roll call vote was unanimous and the motion carried.
Staff characterized the grant as a partnership with the police department and local nonprofits; the council did not specify the dollar amount in the meeting record presented at the time of the vote.
