Environmental Category: Newly proposed for the upcoming FY 2006/07 grant process is an Environmental Category. In recent years, there has been strong support for environmental programs in the community and, more specifically, the schools. In order to accommodate potential requests for funds (e.g. recycling education and reuse programs) and to provide a fair process, it is proposed that the City Grant process include an Environmental Category. Staff recommends allocating funds from the City's Measure D Recycling and Waste Management Fund for this purpose. At this time staff is determining an appropriate amount, based on available funds, to submit for City Council consideration. Staff will provide a separate report on the specific allocation levels and requirements prior to the FY 2006/07 grant application process. SR 05:298 Page 3
