SUBJECT: GRANT FUNDING REPORT FY 2001-02
This is an informational report and no Council action is required.
DISCUSSION
During the last year, staff has aggressively sought state, federal and private grant
opportunities to supplement funding for specific programs, services and projects. This
has been a priority for City staff during FY 2001-02 and will continue to be so in the
future. The recent $6.3 million City budget shortfall has elevated the importance and
need of grant funding for City programs. In FY 2001-02, staff secured approximately
$3.5 million through various grant sources. Attachment A provides a detailed list of the
grant sources, project title, and award amounts of each grant.
The City works closely with both legislative advocates to identify grant opportunities.
The Ferguson Group in Washington D.C., and Kenneth Emanuels and Associates in
Sacramento provide specialized assistance in expediting and processing grant
applications to the City at the federal and state level.
Staff recently attended a comprehensive presentation on the federal grant process, which
was conducted by The Ferguson Group. In addition to attending grant-related training
sessions, staff also utilizes a web-based grant locator program to assist in identifying
grants.
