Title
City Support for Boys and Girls Club (Rotary Campus) (B)
This item involves a request to provide financial assistance to the Boys and Girls Club (Rotary Campus).
Explanation
During the January 20, 2011 City Commission meeting, the Gainesville City Commission expressed a desire to support the Boys and Girls Club Rotary Campus Program, which has encountered financial challenges. Currently the Club has sufficient funds to continue operating through April 2011. The City Commission requested that City staff explore and identify alternative funding sources available to provide up to $5,000 to the Boys and Girls Club (Rotary Campus).
On November 18, 2010, the City Commission approved Community Grant Program funding awards in the amount of $109,174, which left a remaining balance of $3,326 unallocated. As a part of this approval, the Boys and Girls Club (Rotary Campus) received a $2,500 grant to provide youth programs. Since a portion of the Community Grant Program funding was unallocated, the City Commission has the authority to declare these funds as surplus, and allocate the remaining balance of these funds for services. The Community Grant Program's unallocated funds are available for this fiscal year only, and would provide a one-time allocation for services in the amount of $3,326.
An additional $1,674 has been identified in the FY 2011 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs (PRCA) budget to award additional funds to support the Boys and Girls Club (Rotary Campus).
