Background:

approximately $240,000. Then 85%or$204,000 has to go toward capital improvement projects,
and the remaining 15%or$36,000 is to be given to local non-profit public service agencies.
In order for agencies to be eligible,they have to document that at least 51%of their clients fall
into either the low or moderate income categories. Furthermore, as we have done the past four
years,the Outside Funding Agency will make the funding recommendations to the City Council.

Outside Agency Committee recommendations to the December 9th City Council meeting. The
