Options for reducing to $30,467
Staff is looking for direction on which way to distribute the $30,467. Here are some alternatives:
• Distributing the maximum grant amount of $30,467 evenly amongst the three public service applicants, meaning each grant amount would be allocated $10,155 each.

• Do not fund any of the public service requests and put all funds (less administration) toward the Parkview/Airport Road crosswalk project.
