Council asks staff to prepare grant-style application for nonprofit funding; may cancel August meeting
Summary
Following the decision to split the events/nonprofit fund, council asked staff to draft a grant-style application process and to add the item to a future agenda; staff also said the August 12 meeting may be canceled if no pressing business arises.
Council directed staff to prepare a grant-style application process for nonprofit funding after discussion about how the city should distribute the remaining $15,000. Deborah and other commenters asked whether the three earmarked events would also fill out the application; council said all recipients should meet the same reporting expectations.
Councilmember Sean said staff would fine-tune the application requirements and bring them back as a future agenda item so the process is clear before awards are distributed. A separate administrative note: staff warned that it currently looks like there may be little business for the city's August 12 meeting and proposed cancelling that meeting unless new items arise.
What comes next: staff will compile application templates and procedural rules and return them for council consideration. The city manager will confirm whether the August 12 meeting will be canceled if no items are added to the agenda.
