All, My municipality has a very active Parks & Rec committee that aggressively seeks grant opportunities. As a result of the committee's efforts, we will soon have a new park with equipment that includes pieces made specifically for children with mental and physical disabilities-a big accomplishment for a small, rural community! Obviously, the city wants to encourage the committee to continue its pursuit of grants; however, we have run into several instances in which the committee applies for grants that require matching funds from the city-oftentimes filing the application prior to seeking Council approval. In addition to the matching funds issue, I am concerned about the recordkeeping aspect. I think a resolution setting forth the procedure for all city committees to follow with regards to applying for grants is in order and wondered if any of your clients have adopted something along the same lines. I'd greatly appreciate any information, guidance, or examples yall have! Thanks, Krystina E. Phillips Indian and Environmental Law Group, PLLC 117 S.
