BACKGROUND
On March 20, 2025, the Budget Committee voted to form a standing subcommittee, and
selected four members to serve terms through December 31, 2025. Per LOC 12.50.030 (6),the
City Council is required to approve the creation of any standing or ad hoc subcommittee of an
Advisory Board, Committee, or Commission.
Authorizing the Budget Committee to form this subcommittee (the Municipal Grants
Subcommittee) will permit members to begin meeting. It does not provide authorization to
allocate funds, as required by LOC 12.50.035 (4), which will be requested at a subsequent City
Council meeting.
DISCUSSION
The new Municipal Grants Subcommittee will serve as a unifying structure, concentrating
oversight and reporting functions for all of the City's grant programs with a single body.
The dual-pronged charge of the Municipal Grant Subcommittee is to:
1. Provide oversight of the City's grant programs—recommending changes in funding priorities,
evaluation criteria, and resource allocation to the City Council and staff.
2. Serve as the selection committee for specific grant programs, as authorized by future City
Council action.
The subcommittee will consist of four members: two City Councilors and two appointed members
of the Budget Committee. At the Budget Committee meeting on March 20, 2025,the Budget
Committee voted to create the subcommittee, and to appoint Councilor Ali Afghan, Councilor
Trudy Corrigan, Rick Ahlander, and Jamie Rye to serve terms through December 31, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT
Staff anticipate the cost and time involved in staffing the subcommittee will be minimal, not
exceeding $2,500 annually.
