In addition, staff is recommending an increase of $7,800 to the original budget for the funding for the Senior Support Program of Valley Community Health Center; and $2,000 for Senior and Youth recreation program scholarships. In 1999 -00 the City amended its agreement with the Pleasanton Downtown Association to match the assessments paid by the downtown merchants, estimated at $58,000 in 2000 -01. The new contract eliminates separate payment for Fridays in the Park ($6,200). Therefore, the 2000 -01 budget needs to be amended by a net $51,800. Staff is recommending $10,000 each for the Chamber Technology Showcase and the Las Positas College One Stop Career Center, as well as $4,000 for the Green Business Program. The funding for these programs was approved by Council amendment in 1999 -00 with direction to staff to include for 2000 -01. Staff is recommending that $7,500 be included to co-sponsor the Chamber of Commerce's Leadership Pleasanton program for the 4 consecutive year. Leadership Pleasanton is a yearlong program that educates individuals on various issues facing our community. Participants learn about Pleasanton from many different perspectives. The curriculum includes hands -on experience along with presentations and discussions on the educational system; law enforcement; City government; economic development; media; leadership skill building; and the roles and responsibilities of non profits. Attachment C shows the proposed 2000 -01 Operating and Capital Budgets for Community Access TV (CTV). The total funding contribut on requested from member cities is $359,000, of which $309,000 would be designated for operating expenses, with the remaining $50,000 designated for one -time capital expenses. Each jurisdiction's fair share of the operating budget is based on the total number of cable subscribers in each jurisdiction. Overall, Pleasanton's share of the funding is $110,031, which is an increase of $17,700 to the 2000 -01 budget. n On April 4, 2000, staff presented a report to the Human Services Commission with funding recommendations for the annual community grants award process. The Commission recommended funding a total of $200,000, including $20,000 for youth related activities, $40,000 for cultural grants, and $140,000 for human service agency grants. Staff concurs with the Commission's recommendation, and is requesting the current $190,000 budget be increased by $10,000 to totally fund the program. Attachment A at the end of Section 1 details the funding requested by the applicant agencies and the amounts recommended by the Human Services Commission and staff. With the City of San Ramon joining the Tri- Valley Convention and Visitor's Bureau (TVCVB), Pleasanton's share of the budget for 2000 -01 will be reduced by $20,300. The funding allocation formula is based on the number of hotel rooms in each city. 11
