SUBJECT: 2006 Youth Sports Capital Improvement Grants
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with
information to approve the 2006 Youth Sports Capital Improvement Grants as recommended by
the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board at its November 29, 2005, meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council approve the 2006 Youth Sports Capital Improvement
Grants totaling $66,880, as recommended by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
BACKGROUND
In the 2006 budget, the City Council has allocated $66,880 to distribute among the nine youth
sport organizations. To be eligible for this fund, these organizations must meet the criteria as
established by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. Among this criterion is that each
league must have a signed lease agreement on file with the Parks and Recreation Department as
well as the appropriate amount of insurance coverage. Each league that is funded must have
completed their previous year's projects before additional funding will be allocated. In addition,
each league must provide the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board with a season recap and a
request for future funding at the October Board meeting each year.
Listed below are the funding requests for the 2006 season as approved by the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Board at their November 29, 2005, meeting:
