Redwood City will pay <br />Public Allies Silicon Valley a total of $15,777 in three separate installments toward the Ally's <br />stipend. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council could make modifications to the contract or decide not to approve the contract. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br />Grant funds have been secured and already appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2008-2009 budget <br />to pay for the Public Ally placement. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />U~.) ~'~. ,/' <br />.
