RECOMMENDATION
Approve a request to agendize for City Council deliberation on March 1, 2022, a $5,000 SAP grant from Council District 10 to support the efforts of the Almaden Valley Women’s Club to provide recreational and cultural opportunities to the community.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to City Council Expenditure and Reimbursement Policy, Policy Number 0-38, Section K “Grants”, Item 6, “Any contribution to an organization proposed by a Council member who is a member of that organization must be approved in advance by the City Council.” Approval is requested to expend $5,000 from the budgeted District 10 SAP Grant allocation to support the Almaden Valley Women’s Club (AVWC). For over forty years, AVWC has been organizing cultural and recreational events for the community. These events are well attended and appreciated by residents from all over the City and surrounding communities. Even under COVID-19 restrictions, they hosted virtual events in an effort to continue to bring community together in a recreational fashion.
My wife, Silvia Mahan, is a member of AVWC. Because of my relationship with this organization, it is appropriate for the full Council to approve this grant.
