Pursuant to City Council policy, this report provides information regarding grants and donations. City Council Policy A-12, Discretionary Grants, requires annual reporting to the City Council.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

DISCUSSION:
City Council Policy A-12 allows the City Council to, at any time during the year, direct funds toward worthy projects or programs which the City Council deems beneficial to Newport Beach residents’ quality of life. Under this policy, each City Councilmember is allocated funding each fiscal year to donate toward uses, projects or community entities that benefit the city as a whole or the City Council Member’s district specifically. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 funding level for District Discretionary Grants was $6,000 per district for a total of $42,000. Councilmembers allocated a total of $34,000. The Fiscal Year 2023-24 District Discretionary Grant Report is included as Attachment A to this report.
Per City Council Policy F-3, the City Council will be formally notified of all grants or donations on a quarterly basis by way of a “receive and file” City Council agenda item. The City Manager accepted $220 in donations during the quarter ending June 30, 2024:
