SUBJECT: 2004-05 HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION (HRC)
GRANTS-IN-AID (GIA) FUNDING RECOMMENDATIONS
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving recommendations from the HRC for GIA funding for 2004-05 and
authorizing the CAO to execute agreements with each GIA recipient for 2004-05 as outlined in
Attachment 1, Exhibit A and inclusive of any modifications made by Council.
DISCUSSION
Background
The HRC held a Public Workshop on October 1, 2003 to gather information on the current social
needs of the community for the 2004-05 GIA and Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) cycles. The Commission heard from a variety of San Luis Obispo citizens. In addition,
the Healthy Communities Survey report was used to assist in identifying high priority social
service needs to guide the HRC in the allocation of grant funds.
In December 2003, the HRC began its annual GIA process. Notices advertising the availability
of grant monies for local service organizations providing human and social services in the City
were publicized in The Tribune. In addition, grant recipients from the previous year were sent
grant applications and information for the 2004-05 GIA process. An Application Information
Workshop was held in early January 2004 to review the NRC's expectations for application
content, application format, and to answer any questions from applicant agencies.
Completed GIA were due to the City on February 11, 2004. The HRC received 32 applications
with grant requests totaling $164,579. The total number of applications declined by two from the
previous year, however total funding requests increased by $4,285. The 2004-05 grant
applications are available for review in the reading file in the Council Office.
Review Process
Upon receiving the grant applications, the HRC convened the GIA Subcommittee: Maureen
Foresburg; Elise Wheeler; and Stephen Lamb (Subcommittee Chairperson). The subcommittee
thoroughly reviewed and rated applications, and formulated preliminary grant recommendations.
At the NRC's April 2004 meeting the subcommittee presented their preliminary
recommendations to the full HRC. The subcommittee reviewed all the applications noting the
reasons they had not recommended funding five of the grant applications and asked for input on
i
2004-05 HRC Grants-In-Aid Funding Recommendations Page 2
three others prior to the subcommittee making a final recommendation. The subcommittee's final
recommendation was to grant $128,718 to 25 of the applicants; this left a reserve of$1,473.
At the May 5, 2004 meeting, during the Public Hearing, 20 members of various non-profit
organizations spoke in support of the GIA Program and thanked the HRC for their support.
Representatives from the Camp Fire USA Central Coast Council and the Women's Community
Center of SLO County both asked that the HRC reconsider their requests (both organizations
received zero funding recommendations from the GIA subcommittee). A discussion followed
and a decision was made to partially fund both of the previously mentioned organizations. To
accomplish this, the HRC voted to deduct $50.00 from each of the 25 organizations receiving
grants ($1,250) and use the $1,473 "reserve" for a total of $2,723. They then voted to allocate
$1,400 to the Camp Fire USA Council and $1,323 to the Women's Community Center. This
brought the number of grants to 27 and their total 2004-05 recommendations to the City Council
to $130,191.
The day after the NRC's May 5, 2004 meeting, the City received a $4,000 check for unused
2003-04 grant monies from the EOC that was originally granted to the Adult Day Services
Program (formally ADCare). The grant was to be used for program start up costs, including
program outreach, enrollment, facility licensing, and employee recruitment. After extensive
research it was determined that North County had the greatest need for a center; there was not
enough funding to open a second center in San Luis Obispo. The EOC therefore returned the
grant monies. City staff made a decision to put the redistribution of$4,000 on the HRC's June
agenda.
All 2004-05 GIA applicants were notified by letter of the additional "windfall" and another
Public Hearing notice for the June HRC meeting was placed in The Tribune. At the June
meeting the HRC voted to redistribute the $4,000 in the following manner: replace the $50 that
had been deducted from the original 25 applicants at the May 5, 2004 meeting; add additional
funds to the following applicants:
Big Brothers/Big Sisters $500
Sexual Assault &Recovery $500
Campfire USA Council $600
Literacy Council $250
Senior Nutrition Program $600
Casa Solana 300
Total $2,750
The final recommendation is to fund 27 agencies for a total of $134,191.

Funding Recommendations
Specifically, the HRC's 2004-05 Grants-In-Aid recommendations:
1. Provide for the disbursement of $134,191 as included in the Financial Plan ($126,000
budgeted, plus carry over of$4,191 and the $4,000 refund).
2. Provide funding to 27 applicants with grants ranging from $1,800 to$13,798.
3. Provide funding to three agencies that had not applied in the previous year:
• Court Appointed Special Advocates of SLO County (Voices for Children)
• Hotline of SLO County
• Senior Health Screening Program
A detailed discussion of the individual grant recommendations can be found in Exhibit A
of Attachment 1. A summary spreadsheet can be found in Attachment 3.
4. Do not fund ALPHA'S $2,000 request because the application did not provide sufficient
information to determine if the application met the criteria outlined in the GIA
guidelines.
5. Do not fund Enhancement, Incorporated's application for$3,500 because the production
of an informational video was not considered appropriate use of GIA funds.
6. Do not fund Hospice Partners of the Central Coast's application for$7,115 because the
request was to train firefighters and others who respond to trauma incidents. This type of
service is available elsewhere in the county.
7. Do not fund the Work Training Program, Incorporated's application for$4,400 because
facility improvements are not appropriate use of GIA funds. A suggestion was made that
this request may be more appropriate through the Community Development Block Grant
process.
Upon Council adoption of grant awards, the City will enter into contracts with each of the
qualified organizations. The HRC and staff will monitor each contract throughout the year.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2004-05 Financial Plan has budgeted $126,000 for the Human Relations Grants-In-Aid
Program. The additional $8,191 is carry over ($4,191) and refund ($4,000) from the previous
year GIA budget.

2004-05 HRC Recommendation: $ 1,323
The Women's Community Center is requesting $2,780 to cover the shortfall of printing costs over revenue for their
Women's Press newsletter. Future plans include increasing advertising revenues to fully cover the newsletter
expenses. The Women's Community Center serves as a focal point in the county to collect and exchange
information of interest and concern to women. Present focus is in the area of self-represented family law litigants and
providing assistance to help them navigate court processes without an attorney.
The HRC is recommending a grant of $1,323 which will partially fund the request. This is the first request from this
organization.

Women's Shelter Program (WSP) provides emergency shelter for women and children who are victims of domestic
