Community involvement and building relationships within the community <br />are key components of the matching grants program as shown by the requirement <br />that the project budget include a match amount equal to, or greater than, the grant <br />request. Demonstrating responsible stewardship of community assets while <br />balancing the community’s social and environmental values are additional <br />components of any project proposal submitted. <br /> <br />Grant guidelines and application materials are available on the City’s web site, <br />www.eugene-or.gov/matchinggrants, and at the Permit and Information Center <br />located at 99 West 10 or by calling Cindy Clarke at 541-682-5272. <br />th <br /> <br />All projects will be required to undergo a pre-review by Oct. 31, 2014, to check for <br />consistency with grant guidelines and existing plans and policies of the City and <br />other partner agencies. Pre-review also ensures applicants are submitting a <br />competitive final application. <br /> <br />Final applications are due on Monday, Jan. 19, 2015. Awards will be announced in <br />April 2015. For more information about the Neighborhood Matching Grants <br />Program, contact Cindy Clarke, Human Rights and Neighborhood Involvement, at <br />541-682-5272 or cindy.j.clarke@ci.eugene.or.us. <br /> <br /> <br />New Guides Are Smaller - and Larger <br />In addition to the comprehensive, 88-page Fall Recreation Guide, the Recreation Services Division produced two new “Rec <br />Guides” this fall that include only those activities that are specifically for <br /> <br />the Adult and Senior programs at Campbell and Petersen Barn centers. <br />Adult patrons asked for the separate listings because many of them are not <br />able to negotiate the full, 88-page Recreation Guide or have a hard time <br />reading the smaller type in that document. <br /> <br />In its 32 pages, the “Campbell Connection” lists all Adult Program activities <br />at Campbell Community Center through the end of the year. Similarly, <br />within just eight pages, “Inside the Barn,” contains all adult activities <br />occurring at Petersen Barn for the next three months. While the “adult” <br />guides have fewer pages, they are larger in dimension and use larger type <br />sizes and photos. These adult guides will be produced three times a year, <br />on about the same schedule as the comprehensive guide. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />September 11, 2014 <br /> <br /> <br />
