The program also promotes the Council Vision and Values, <br />with individual projects supporting a safe community, sustainable development, accessible and thriving <br />culture and recreation, effective and accountable municipal government, and fair, stable and adequate <br />financial resources. <br /> <br />Grant applications are scored by the advisory committee based on the following criteria: tangible <br />neighborhood benefit; neighborhood community involvement; project readiness; and sustainability <br />values. Sustainability values are based on the City’s triple-bottom-line framework and include impacts <br />to environmental health or ability to address climate change; impacts on the local economy and/or use of <br />public resources; and project contributions to social equity through benefits to under-represented or <br />vulnerable population or by promoting safety, cultural awareness, and building of community <br />relationships. <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL OPTIONS <br /> <br />The council may approve, amend, or deny the grant recommendations. <br /> <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />The City Manager recommends the City Council approve all of the grant recommendations. <br /> <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION <br /> <br />Move to direct the City Manager to fund the fiscal year 2011 Neighborhood Matching Grant proposals <br />as recommended by the department advisory committee. <br /> <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />A.Neighborhood Matching Grants 2011 – Department Advisory Committee Recommendations <br /> <br /> <br />FOR MORE INFORMATION <br /> <br />Staff Contact: Cindy Clarke, Neighborhood Services Program Coordinator <br />Telephone: 541-682-5272 <br />Staff E-Mail: cindy.j.clarke@ci.eugene.or.us <br /> <br /> <br /> \\Cesrv500\cc support\CMO\2011 Council Agendas\M110314\S1103142D.doc <br />
