City staff recommended distribution of the FY25–26 Neighborhood Matching Grant funds to 11 applicants, proposing $26,506 in awards from a $30,000 program budget.
Rayshawn, the neighborhood outreach coordinator, told council the grant committee (staff from five departments) evaluated projects based on program mission alignment, neighborhood benefit, involvement, budget and match, readiness and prior community participation in litter-abatement programs.
Staff listed recommended awards including full $3,000 allocations for several neighborhoods (Brookview, Courtyards at Poplar Tent, Edison Square townhomes, Moss Creek Community, Parkview Estates, Ramsgate) and smaller amounts for other applicants. The packet included project descriptions and scoring details; council members asked clarifying questions about the matching requirement and confirmed the program is a half-match up to $3,000.
No final vote on these recommendations is recorded in the provided segment; staff presented the committee’s recommendations for council consideration.
