__________________________________________________________________________ Recitals
A. In the 2023-24 Budget process, the Town Council approved allocating $50,000 to a Small Projects Grant Program to be further developed. After consideration by the Town Manager and Staff, we are recommending that this program come under the purview of the Town of Yountville Community Foundation (TOYCF).
B. The TOYCF is a 501c3 entity created by the Town Council in 2017 with the purpose of supporting community-based programming that benefits and serves the residents of the Town. At current, the Foundation oversees funds in the following categories: Youth Subsidy Fund, Senior Subsidy Fund, Yountville Bocce Fund, Yountville Arts Fund, the Community Thanksgiving Fund, the Friends of the Yountville Library Fund and the General Community Fund.
C. At their January 26, 2024 meeting, the TOYCF Board of Directors voted in favor of creating a new Small Projects Grant Fund and working with the Town Council and staff to develop the program and criteria used to call for and award grants on an annual basis beginning D. The appropriation of the grant funding will be conditioned to comply with the grant criteria approved by the Town Council and adopted by the TOYCF. The Town Council and TOYCF must make a finding that the grant funds serve a public purpose to avoid the claim of a gift of public funds. The criteria and description of “Public Purpose” will be determined in the program criteria approval process.
Now, therefore, the Town Council of the Town of Yountville does resolve as follows:
1. Approves Resolution 24-4256 Moving the Administration of Small Projects Grant Program to the Town of Yountville Community Foundation Including Transfer of $50,000 currently budgeted in Community Promotion & Programs 01-1015 to the Town of Yountville Community Foundation Newly Established Small Projects Grant Fund 85-8007.
