11 <br /> THE CITY OF <br /> ‘L. ! ' <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> pL£ASANTON. <br /> December 1, 2020 <br /> Library and Recreation <br /> TITLE: APPROVE FISCAL YEAR 2020/21 COMMUNITY GRANT PROGRAM <br /> FUNDING ROLLOVER AND EXTEND PROJECT DUE DATES FOR <br /> GRANTEES <br /> SUMMARY <br /> Due to COVID-19 and the subsequent shelter-in-place requirements for the majority of <br /> this calendar year, many of the current Community Grant program grantees in both the <br /> Youth and Civic Arts sections have been unable to complete their grant projects, <br /> thereby not requiring grant reimbursements. <br /> At the November 9, 2020 Youth and Civic Arts Commission Joint Special Meeting, both <br /> commissions voted unanimously to roll over the current grant funding and extend <br /> project due dates one full year to allow grantees ample opportunity to complete their <br /> grant projects as well as apply for new grants for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2021/22 cycle. <br /> YOUTH COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION <br /> Recommend City Council approve fiscal year 2020/21 Community Grant Program <br /> funding rollover and extend project due dates for grantees. <br /> CIVIC ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION <br /> Recommend City Council approve fiscal year 2020/21 Community Grant Program <br /> funding rollover and extend project due dates for grantees. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Approve fiscal year 2020/21 Community Grant Program funding rollover and extend <br /> project due dates for grantees. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> Total allocated funding for the FY 2020/21 Community Grant - Civic Arts Category was <br /> $54,903.23, of which $0 has been expended. Total allocated funding for the FY 2020/21 <br /> Community Grant — Youth Category was $40,000, of which $2,000 has been returned, <br /> $11,434.64 has been expended and $28,565.36 remains. As funds are already <br /> dedicated to this program and these grantees, there is no fiscal impact to rolling over <br /> funds. <br />
