The committee approved four community-event grants totaling $8,100: $1,000 to Sam's Kids (Operation Newport Warm), $2,500 to the Wilmington Grand Prix for security, $2,100 to the Delaware Institute for Arts and Education for library programming, and $2,500 to the Monday Club for holiday distributions.
The Administrative Finance Committee approved a set of community-event grants during its Nov. 18 meeting.
Councilman Toole moved a $1,000 grant to Sam's Kids to support Operation Newport Warm; Toole said the program has distributed 16,000 coats since it started. The motion passed by voice vote.
Councilwoman Durham moved $2,500 to support the Wilmington Grand Prix primarily to fund increased police presence along the race route for safety; the motion passed by voice vote with at least one member recorded as not voting. Councilman Koneko moved a $2,100 grant for the Delaware Institute for Arts and Education to support learning programs in county libraries (Koneko and Councilman Carter each pledged $1,050); that motion also passed. Councilman Street moved $2,500 for the MC 917 Foundation / Monday Club to support holiday community distributions and shared historical context about the organization; that motion passed by voice vote.
Chair Cartier said the grant matrix for the day was concluded and the committee moved on to other business.
