The Commission's recommendations for funding are contained in Attachment 1 of this report with a brief description of the purpose of each grant request. Attachment 2 is a listing the grant applicants including some background information about their grant request. The Commission would also like to request Council approval to allow awarding grants to small grant applicants during FY 2012-2013 for a total amount of $6,000. The Commission receives small grant requests throughout the year. Examples of such requests: $1,000 grant request from Redwood City Community Theater for the production of a musical at Carrington Hall; $950 request from Peninsula Celebration Association to provide funding for musical entertainment at the 4t" of July Festival in downtown; $300 grant to the Peninsula Hills Women's Club for entertainment at their annual Thanksgiving Dinner which is free to the public. The authority to approve such grants and report back to the Council at the end of the year will allow the Commission to distribute small grants in a timely manner. ALTERNATIVES -The Council could choose to modify the funding recommendations made by the Civic Cultural Commission. Page 2 of 3
