<br />6.2D <br />Page 1 <br /> <br />REPORT <br /> <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the Ci Mana er <br /> <br />August 24, 2009 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />Foundation Grant Budget Adjustment for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Amend by resolution the Budget for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 to appropriate grant revenue <br />from a private foundation for the Fair Oaks Community Center Information and Referral <br />Program. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />Over the past three years, staff has successfully raised grant funds to support the <br />addition of an AmeriCorps Intern to the City's Information and Referral Program - <br />expanding staff capacity from three to four human services specialists. This expansion <br />has made it possible for our information and referral program to develop more <br />comprehensive services for homeless individuals and families in our community, <br />including the Early Entry Shelter Program for single homeless adults. This has been an <br />important contribution to our City's efforts to assist homeless individuals and families in <br />the context of the county-wide effort to end homelessness (HOPE Plan). <br /> <br />In the spring of 2009 staff was invited to submit a request for additional funding from a <br />local foundation for the ongoing provision of safety net services through City's <br />Information and Referral services - as a way of the supporting the City's ability to <br />respond to increased needs in the community. As a result, staff was able to secure a <br />$50,000 grant from the local foundation. This grant funding was not included in the <br />Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Budget approved by Council on July 13th. The grant funds will <br />be incorporated into the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Budget by resolution. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council may choose not to appropriate the funds and ask staff to return the grant to the <br />private foundation. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />If approved, the budget adjustment will incorporate the anticipated revenues and <br />associated expenses into the Fiscal Year 2009-2010 Budget. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Teri Chin <br />Human Services Manager <br /> <br />~w-/ <br /> <br />Corinne Centeno, Director <br />Parks, Recreation & Community Services <br />
