Camp Verde awards $50,000 in FY25 community outreach funds to local nonprofits
Summary
After presentations from 32 applicants and an executive session, the Camp Verde Town Council approved distribution of the FY25 $50,000 Community Outreach Fund to a group of local organizations; the minutes list the awardees but do not specify how the total was divided among them.
The Camp Verde Town Council on June 18 approved awards from its FY25 Community Outreach Fund, authorizing distribution of the $50,000 allocation to a set of local nonprofit organizations after a closed executive-session review.
Town Manager Miranda Fisher told the council the application process drew 32 submissions. Councilors reviewed presentations from most applicants; two organizations, Garden of Life and the Camp Verde Recreation Association, did not send representatives. Resident Charlotte Salsman urged the council in public comment to keep the funds under Town control.
The council recessed to executive session under A.R.S. § 38-431.03(A)(3) and (A)(4) to consult with legal counsel and consider positions regarding possible contracts tied to the fund. After reconvening at 9:07 p.m., the council voted 7-0 to approve funding for the organizations listed in the minutes. The minutes name the awardees but do not specify individual award amounts in the public record.
The organizations named in the meeting minutes are: The Bread of Life Missions, Inc.; Society of St. Vincent de Paul; Humane Society of Sedona, Inc.; Verde Valley Homeless Coalition; Calvary Chapel Camp Verde CARE Ministry; Verde Valley Senior Citizens Association, Inc. dba Verde Valley Senior Center; Home for New Beginnings; Verde Valley Sanctuary; Hope Women's Center; Manzanita Outreach; Seventh-day Adventist Food Pantry; and Senior Citizens of Camp Verde, Inc. The minutes do not break out award amounts per organization or list any conditions attached to awards.
Next steps: staff will finalize contracts or award documents and complete administrative processing of the distributions; the minutes do not record individual award amounts or payment schedules.
