Title
City Administrator Biannual Update Summary of Grants Report per the City Council Grants Policy.
Body
Action Requested:
None. This is an informational report.
Summary Report:
Per the City’s Grant Policy staff are encouraged to solicit grants, especially where they may help achieve the City’s Strategic Plan, City adopted plans, enhance or support the City’s services, or address other city priorities.
The Grant Policy also states that the City Council shall receive an update summary of all grants applied for at least twice a year. The attached summary (attachments #1) includes the information referenced in the policy including a short description, summary of proposed sources and uses of funds, and status of the grant (i.e. funded, unfunded, and pending). This summary covers all grants applied for since the last update to Council in November 2025.
The current Grant Policy is attached for reference (attachment #2). However, staff are proposing updates to this policy. Those updates are included as a separate item on the consent agenda. The biannual updates to Council will not change in the proposed amendments to the policy.
Should the City Council have questions on any of the grants please feel free to contact Sara Hoffman, Deputy City Clerk/Executive Administrative Assistant who will follow up with staff on the question. Should it be determined to be relevant to the full City Council it would be added to supplemental memo information.
