those
motions
carry
and
then
we
have
our
one
discussion
item
I'm,
going
to
ask
mr.
A
B
A
B
You
mr.
chair
and
council
members
and
I'll
be
joined
shortly
by
och
David
safran
of
the
Commission
to
help
this
presentation.
Thank
you.
We
are
requesting
approval
for
funding
for
the
projects.
This
is
the
first
year
of
the
program
the
application
process
opened
in
april.
We
received
that
terribly
loud.
We
received
19
applications.
We
are
able
to
recommend
12
of
them
for
funding
with
the
300,000
dollars
we
have
so
to
describe
the
process.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr.
B
C
For
evaluating
all
these
proposals
that
came
in
June,
we
met
midway
through
the
month.
All
of
the
members
of
our
committee
evaluated
all
of
the
proposals
that
came
in
according
to
that
criteria
that
we
had
set
forth
out
of
the
out
of
the
guidelines
with
the
key
criteria
for
this
funds
being
the
degree
to
which
these
projects
are
innovative
and
or
locally
relevant
solutions
to
city
identified
goals
and
then
also
the
degree
to
which
these
neighborhood
organizations
are
partnering
with
another
neighborhood
organization
or
with
another
community
organization.
C
E
C
The
other
criteria
that
I
think
we
were
really
looking
at
as
a
committee
was
geographic
spread
and
making
sure
that
these
really
represent
the
the
city
as
a
whole
and
that
they,
these
projects
are
not
just
going
to
one
or
the
other
area
of
the
city
and
I
think
that
we
achieve
that.
So
with
that,
we
we
came
to
the
final
set
of
recommendations
that
you
have
before
you
and
with
that
I
would
welcome
any
questions
that
you
might
have
any
believe,
Mr
bland.
Would
it
well
I.
B
B
Projects
I.
We
have,
for
example,
a
project
in
the
Midtown
Phillips
neighborhood
for
startup
funding
for
a
low
wattage.
Is
it
a
low
whatever?
The
term
is
FM
radio
station
that
would
broadcast
in
the
Somali
language
for
the
Somali
community?
Again
this
is
seed
money
to
get
them
off
the
ground.
There
is
a
project
in
the
Bottineau
Neighborhood
Association
to
look
at
some
air
quality
data
to
determine
if
there
are
some
improvements
that
can
be
made
in
terms
of
the
air
quality
in
that
particular
neighborhood.
B
This
this
grant
would
allow
them
to
expand
that
greatly
to
have
space.
That
would
be
leased
and
then
expand
the
number
of
tools
that
are
available
in
that
area,
which
is
you
know,
important
for
home
rehab
work
that
people
are
doing
themselves.
So
there's
a
really
a
wide
variety
of
projects
that
are
proposing
again,
we
didn't
focus
on
a
particular
or
a
single
City
goal.
We
this
for
this
first
round
of
funding.
All
City
goals
are
in
place.
B
D
A
E
Think
mr.
chair,
first
of
all,
I
appreciate
these
specificity
in
the
allocation,
as
opposed
to
just
generally
handing
money
over,
but
I
guess
I
had
a
few
questions
and
it
may
just
be
this
is
the
information
I
have
before
me
is
a
summary,
a
synopsis
and
we
arrived,
but
but
you
know
well
to
use
your
example.
The
East
Phillips
improvement
coalition
they're,
proposing
to
partner
with
the
Native
American
youth
arts
collective
to
use
art
as
an
engagement
tool
among
youth
living
at
little
earth
wonderful
program.
E
B
In
that
particular
project,
mr.
chair
and
counselor,
fried
in
that
particular
project,
there's
somebody
used
for
staffing
costs
for
the
kind
of
program
coordinators.
If,
as
I
recalled
most
of
that
project,
the
budget
for
that
project
is
for
actual
kind
of
arts
materials,
taking
the
kids
to
various
places
throughout
the
city,
to
art
museums,
to
expose
that
so
I
can't
off
the
top
of
my
head,
give
you
the
exact
breakdown,
but
it's
both.
E
You
and
I
guess
the
end
point
that
I'm
trying
to
make
is
I'm
all
for
funding
a
specified
project
I'm
not
for
just
randomly
subsidizing.
I
want
to
see
what
the
end,
what
specifically
the
money
is
going
towards
and
again
like
this
particular
project,
seems
like
it
certainly
warrants
the
25,000
that
we're
giving
them
I
just
want
to
see
where
the
specifics
go.
B
D
B
In
turn
have
agreements
with
various
organizations
such
as
his
arts
group.
We
will
have
specific
requirements
within
that
funding
agreement
for
them
to
meet,
in
terms
of,
in
that
case,
the
number
of
kids
that
are
participating,
what
they're
doing
what
the
money
is
spent
on
great.
So
we
don't
and
it's
all
real,
it's
a
it's
a
reimbursable
grant.
So
in
other
words
they
expend
the
money
we
reimburse
them,
so
we
don't
just
hand
over
a
cheque.
Thank.
A
F
Don't
have
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
so
I
think
you
might
have
just
answered
my
question,
but
I
think
it
was
like
that
councilmember
fry
would
probably
find
helpful
in
this
as
well.
I
think
we
had
a
staff
directive
to
post
applications
for
any
sort
of
funding
requests
grants.
Those
sort
of
things
online
on
our
agenda
for
the
individual
organizations
awarded
I.
Don't
see
that
with
this
I
do
see.
F
B
D
B
F
D
You
mr.
chair
I
just
want
to
say
anything.
This
is
a
really
great
program.
I'm
really
excited
to
see
a
lot
of
citywide
issues
being
addressed
here
in
neighborhoods
through
innovative
partnerships
in
the
community
and
I
hope
in
the
first
year
of
this
program
that
we
can
take
some
of
the
lessons
that
we
learn
from
that
and
hopefully
look
if
it's
successful
to
expand
this
approach
to
funding
neighborhoods
that
are
doing
innovative
work
that
are
addressing
some
of
these
big
city
wide
issues
locally
and
then
are
using
innovative
partnerships
to
do
that.
B
Sure
I
appreciate
that,
but
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
work
that
the
NCC
put
into
this.
We
actually
had
a
series
I
think,
of
nine
listening
sessions
with
neighborhoods
about
a
year
ago.
Actually
was
a
year
ago,
last
winter,
so
ncc
members
were
out
in
the
debt
a
winner
listening
to
neighborhoods
as
to
how
they
saw
this
neighbor.
This
program
shaping
up
and,
as
David
mentioned,
the
heavy
lifting
in
terms
of
reading
all
the
applications
scoring.
The
applications
was
done
by
committee.
Members
of
the
NCC.
