SUBMITTED BY: Jean M. Rousseau, County Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: Administrative Policy 76 - Grants to Non-Governmental and Non-Profit Organizations
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
Approve Administrative Policy 76 regarding grants to non-governmental and non-profit organizations using General Fund discretionary revenues
REPORT
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
The Board could choose not to adopt a policy on grants to non-governmental and non-profit organizations.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact will depend on the amount of grants authorized using this policy in a fiscal year. This policy only sets requirements/guidelines for General Fund discretionary revenues so all grants made under this policy will be a Net County Cost expenditure.
DISCUSSION:
Currently there is no formal policy for grants made to non-governmental and non-profit entities using General Fund discretionary revenues. On March 20, 2018, your Board directed the County Administrative Office to return with a policy on grants to non-governmental organizations and to provide options for your Board to consider to implement a process to determine which County departments should be involved in planning or administering such partnerships between the County and the non-governmental organization. On April 17, 2018, staff returned to your Board with a policy and some suggestions for additional language to be included in the policy. The policy then returned to your Board on May 1, 2018. After additional review and discussion staff was directed to update the draft policy with additional desired language and return to your Board. Included is the updated Administrative Policy for your Board’s consideration.
