Proposed Motion:

Discussion and Direction on Youth Recreation Fund.

Subject/Discussion:

The Lemoore Youth Recreation Fund has been a longstanding resource for the community, offering financial assistance to individuals and families who cannot afford the full cost of recreational program registration fees.

The program is sustained through the generous support of individuals, service clubs, local businesses, and other community members.

In the past, eligibility was often based on participation in the school lunch program; however, with the discontinuation of that system, consistent eligibility guidelines and standardized percentages of fee coverage have become unclear.

Current and previously used Lemoore Youth Recreation Fund applications are attached for review.

Financial Consideration(s):

The fund currently has a balance of $14,000.
