Consider recommendations from the Human Relations Commission for Grants-In-Aid Funding and determine the appropriate level of City support for FY 1990-91. 2. Adopt a resolution authorizing staff to develop and execute agreements with each Grants-In-Aid recipient, as outlined in Exhibit "A" to the Resolution and inclusive of any modifications made by Council per action taken under Recommendation 01. DISCUSSION: Background The Human Relations Commission (HRC) began its annual Grants-In- Aid cycle for FY 1990-91 by publishing a notice in the Telegram Tribune. A mandatory workshop for prospective applicants was held in February. Representatives from applicant agencies attended the workshop. Twenty-six agencies submitted applications to the HRC for funding consideration. The applications are available in the Council reading file, in the City Clerk's Office for public review. A public meeting was held on April 4, to give the applicant agency representatives the opportunity to make presentations and respond to questions from the HRC. The Grants-In-Aid subcommittee for the HRC met for a total of four hours to review and analyze the proposals. At the public meeting held on May 2 , the subcommittee presented its recommendations to the HRC for approval. The HRC j discussed each recommendation and made a final funding recommendation. The HRC requested that their final funding recommendations be presented to the City Council for consideration on May 15. Funding Recommendations Twenty-six agencies requested. a total of $186,557 in Grants-In- Aid funding for FY 1990-91.. This represents an increase of $39, 043 from the 1989-90 Grants-In-Aid request. The reasons for the continuing increase can be attributed to a number of factors including budget cuts at the State level, loss of federal revenue sharing funds, and cutbacks in County social service funding. All of these factors, plus demographic changes, have contributed to the ��N�i HuNIIII�Ip� �� ►I city of san WIS 0131spo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT Council Agenda Report Page Two increased pressure on local agencies to meet the human service needs of the community. It should be noted that the financial contribution from the City of San Luis Obispo toward social service programs is extraordinary for a city of its size. As an example, the City contributed over $116,000 to the homeless shelter program during FY 1989-90. Since this year the HRC was again faced with a request which was more than double the $70,000 budgeted, the HRC carefully adhered to the Grants-In-Aid funding criteria in making their funding recommendations. The criteria they followed is listed below: 1. Applicant agencies must offer their services to all residents of San Luis Obispo regardless of race, religion, ethnic background, mental or physical handicap, sexual orientation, or other socio-economic factors. 2. Applicant proposals must be compatible with the current goals and objectives of the Human Relations Commission and of the Grants-In-Aid program itself. 3. Applicant organizations must possess and demonstrate the managerial and. fiscal competence to effectively carry out the proposed program. 4. Preference will be given to those agencies which provide direct services to City residents and which offer a clear description of how City funds will be used in those efforts. 5. Applicant agencies must demonstrate attempts to secure funding from a variety of sources other than the City of San Luis Obispo. 6. Applicant agencies must demonstrate a high level of cooperation with existing related programs and other community resources: 7. Actual financial need of the organization will be a consideration in determining the level of funding. 8. Past performance and history of the organization will be strongly considered in order to assess the agency's prospects for achieving its goals and objectives. After thoroughly reviewing and discussing the applications, the HRC determined that $81,000 represented the minimum level of City financial support necessary for local agencies to serve the human service needs of the community. This is below the $86,230 city of san Luis osispo r NftZs COUNCIL AGEN_OA REPORT Council Agenda Report. Page Three ultimately approved by Council for the current fiscal year. However, the HRC strongly believes that $97, 000 represents a more appropriate level of financial support. The HRC structured their final funding recommendations in this way to provide the Council with the opportunity to consider more than one funding level option, as outlined in Exhibit "A" to the resolution. This exhibit will be revised to reflect final City Council action. As part of their funding recommendations, the HRC requested that the City Council give consideration to the funding request by the Alano Club. The Alano Club requested $3,276 to pay the annual cost of a parking user fee which was established by the City as a result of improvements to the Railroad Square transportation and parking facilities. The HRC requested that the City Council rescind the parking assessment for FY 1990-91 for only those spaces allocated for use by the Alano Club. It should be noted however that, on November 14, 1989, the City Council gave the Alano Club a double credit for 6 off-site spaces on Church Street for one year and reduced the parking requirements to 13 spaces. This policy will be evaluated by the City Council within one year (Attachment No.4) .. Conclusion Twenty-six agencies applied for Grants-In-Aid funding for FY 1990- 91. The applicants requested a total of $186,557. The budgeted allocation for the HRC Grants-In-Aid program is $70,000. The. HRC has made an initial funding recommendation of $81,000, which they believe represents a minimum level of financial assistance to enable agency programs to meet the human needs of the community. The HRC believes however, that their secondary recommendation of $97,000 represents a more realistic level of funding. The HRC has also requested that the City Council consider rescinding the cost of the annual parking user fee for only those spaces allocated for use by the Alano Club. Contracts The contracts for each agency awarded Grants-In-Aid funding is monitored by staff and the HRC to ensure compliance with the guidelines set forth in the agency's proposal. Monitoring is accomplished through quarterly reporting, in which program activities and expenditures are detailed. In addition, each agency is assigned a liaison from the HRC. The liaison attends the agency's board meetings, receives reports and delivers periodic updates at regularly scheduled HRC meetings. �1 111111190,111 city of san cues ompo IMMGe COUNUL AGENDA REPORT Council Agenda Report Page Four With assistance provided by the City Attorney's Office, staff will prepare a contract for each agency receiving Grants-In-Aid funding for FY 1990-91. The effective date of each contract will be July 1, 1990. Citizen Participation In January, 1990, the HRC advertised a Grants-In-Aid Request For Proposals in the Telegram Tribune. _ A mandatory workshop for applicants was held in February, for the purpose of reviewing and discussing the Grants-In-Aid Program guidelines and procedures. Two public meetings were held, including one in which all Grants- In-Aid applicants were invited by the HRC to make presentations and respond to questions. Staff has provided assistance on an as needed basis to the HRC and grant applicants during the process. PISCAL IMPACT: Because 1990-91 is the second year of a two year budget, $70,000 has been budgeted for the FY 1990-91 Grants-In-Aid program, as outlined in the 1989-91 Financial Plan & Approved 1989-90 Budget D-67. This is the same amount initially budgeted for 1989-90, although Council ultimately approved the allocation of $86,230. If the City Council approves the HRC's primary recommendation, to award $81,000 in Grants-In-Aid funding, it will be necessary to appropriate an additional $11,000 as part of the adoption of the FY 1990-91 Budget. If the Council approves the HRC's secondary recommendation of $97,000, it will be necessary to appropriate an additional $27,000. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Accept both of the HRC's recommendations, totalling $97,000, and direct staff to enter into contracts with each agency awarded Grants-In-Aid funding. The contract for each agency will become effective July 1, 1990. 2. Accept t2ie HRC's first recommendation totalling $81,000, and direct staff to enter into contracts with each agency awarded Grants-In-Aid funding. The contract for each agency will become effective July 1, 1990. 3 . Review the HRC's recommendations and direct the HRC to make adjustments to the funding levels and recipient agencies, so that the budgeted $70,000 Grants-In-Aid allocation for 1990- j 91 is not exceeded. 1�1191QJJJ%pWlN city Of San Wib OBISPO COUNCIL AGENOA REPORT Council Agenda Report Page Five 4.

The notice included a statement regarding the date for a mandatory workshop. Attendance at this workshop by agency representatives is one of the G.I.A. eligibility requirements. This year, at least two agencies were not represented at the mandatory workshop, and were disqualified as a result. One of the agencies had never applied before. Mr. Scoggins,the representative for the American Legion Templeton Post 220, requested a grant application after the workshop had already been held. He explained that his agency had not been aware of the mandatory attendance eligibility requirement, so had not sent a representative to the workshop. When I explained that his agency would not be eligible to apply for 1990-91 funding, he insisted that he be sent an application anyway. I wrote to him on February 23 explaining the requirement, and sent him a list of the agencies that had sent representatives to the workshop. I suggested that he contact other eligible agencies to determine whether his program could be incorporated as part of another agency's funding request. I also sent the grant application he had requested. Despite my letter, Mr. Scoggins presented his funding request to the HRC at the public meeting on April 4. When the HRC subcommittee made their preliminary funding recommendations to the HRC on May 2, they did not recommend funding the American Legion Templeton Post 220 because a representative had not attended the mandatory workshop. Mr. Scoggins requested that the HRC reconsider the subcommittee's decision. The HRC upheld the subcommittee's decision. Mr. Scoggins was dissatisfied with this outcome because he felt that the mandatory attendance eligibility requirement was unfair. He also alleged that his agency had been singled out by the HRC to not receive funding. He was assured by the HRC and me that this was not the case. Memorandum Page Two I anticipate that Mr Scoggins will probably attend the Public Hearing on May 15. He will probably ask the Council to grant G.I.A. funding to the American Legion Templeton Post 220 at that time, and is likely to vent his dissatisfaction with the process. The HRC is concerned that if his agency receives funding, other agencies which were disqualified for the same reason may feel they were treated unfairly. Although the other agencies expressed disappointment upon learning their funding requests for 1990-91 were denied, they have not contested the decision. The reason that attendance is mandatory at the HRC G.I.A. workshop is to ensure that all the applicants understand and follow the correct procedures and guidelines for completing a funding proposal. It allows them the opportunity to discuss their requests and ask questions. The workshop requirement also ensures that each applicant will be given the same information at the same time. From my perspective, mandatory attendance at the G.I.A. workshop is not unreasonable. I wrote to Mr. Scoggins again on May 9 in an attempt to clarify the basis for the HRC's denial and to encourage him to apply again next year. Attachments 1. HRC Eligibility Guidelines 2.

Applicant agencies must have legal non-profit status prior to submitting proposals for funding (articles of incorporation, 501 C3 status, federal ID number, and tax exempt notification). 2. Applications must be completed in full and be submitted on time. Late and/or incomplete proposals will not be considered.

This person should be directly involved in the preparation of the agency's proposal (if possible) and should be available throughout the process as a resource person. 4. Applicants should be able to verify plans for sound financial management and accountability. 5. Applicants should be able to verify clearly stated, quantifiable goals and objectives. 6. The City does not consider funding programs which duplicate existing services an efficient use of limited resources. Applicants must describe the unique quality of their services as well as a demonstrated LOCAL need for the program.

The mandatory workshop was held on February 7, 1990 at 10:00 AM in the Hearing Room at City Hall. Since no one from your organization attended the mandatory workshop, the organization is not eligible to take part in the Human Relations Commission Grants-In-Aid program for FY 1990-91.

Funding for FY 1990-91 Dear Mr. Scoggins: On behalf of the Human Relations Commission I would like to express my regrets that the American Legion Templeton Post 220 did not qualify for 1990-91 Grants-In-Aid funding. As I've already discussed with you, the funding request was disqualified because at least one representative from the agency did not attend the mandatory workshop which is one of the Grants-In-Aid eligibility requirements. The mandatory workshop was held on February 7, 1990. As I also shared with you at the HRC meeting on May 2, the American Legion Templeton Post 220 was not the only organization disqualified for not meeting this eligibility requirement. An agency which was disqualified for the same reason had received Grants-In-Aid funding for 1989-90. Although the Human Relations Commission sympathizes with you for not being aware of the mandatory workshop requirement, they were unable to recommend funding for the American Legion Templeton Post 220. To do so, would have put them in a position of not following the same criteria for evaluating each funding request. As the HRC Grants-In-Aid is an annual program, the Commission would encourage you to apply for funding for FY 1991-92. The notice regarding the availability of applications and the date for the mandatory workshop will probably be published in January 1991 in the Telegram Tribune. You are welcome to call me at the beginning of January for further information. I have enclosed a copy of the memorandum which has been sent to all the Grants-In-Aid applicants and a copy of the HRC's final funding recommendations which will be presented to the City Council on May 15.

I am Louis Scoggins, Volunteer County Vet's transportation coordinator. I would like to appoligize for taking your time in a matter that the Human Relation Commission sould have been able to take care of. In the advisory body handbook, Chapter VI, page X617, it states, "the purpose of the HUMAN RELATION COMMISSION advises the council in it 's action to create an environment within the city, in which all persons can enjoy equal rights and opportunities regardless of race, religion, sex, national origin, age, physical, mental or economic status. I didn't find that all persons could enjoy equal rights. I didn't receive a letter from Alison, telling me of the mandatory application orientation as others received. Neither I or any one ,else in the AMERICAN LEGION saw the ad in what ever paper it was published kn. We did however make the application date line of Feb. 28, 1990, as I received a grant in-aid packet from Alison, which was filled out and returned. The meeting of April 4, we presented our case before the HRC and -,ere told to bring a copy of our by-laws in the next few days.

Two of us attended the meeting and after seeing the list .of recommendations, I could see why the HRC would look for any possible excuse to dis- qualify an applicant, as they have a budget of $70,000 (dollars) , and are already $11,000 to $27,000 dollars over that. If the 26 agencies were to share this equally that would be about $2,692.00 each. But, George Brondney referred to the Salvation Army and Hot Line, as being. the prime do gooders in the city and their recommendation showed it with $17,500.00 for S.A. and $5,000.00 for Hot Line. After looking over the HRC recommendation, I find it hard to believe that all of these organizations are so much more important than our task of taking disabled AMERICAN VETERANS to the VA facility. I therefore ask the SLO Council to reinstate the AMERICAN LEGION request of $2 ,000.00 and grant that sum to us so it will help us pay for the 8 passenger mini-van, and the cost of maintenance for the first year. -3- As 3-As this is a new project, the van will serve .about 198 city veterans. This is about 47 of the 18 or 19% of 23,000 veterans of San Luis Obispo County. Our projected cost per round trip would be $10.00 or $11.00 and would be the city's fair share. This also includes sharing the van with Mentor Senior Health, RSVP and Caring Caller of San Luis Obispo. Thank you for your patience and consideration.

The first has succeeded so well that most of our resources , of people and;_of: money, have been taken up with providing emotional and practical help. But in these ten years , there has been such an increase of unplanned pregnancies , particularly among teenagers , that we believe that we must expand. our educational component.. Funding from the Human Relations Commission would assist us in this project. We are extremely appreciative of past funding from the City of San Luis Obispo -and for the proposed funding of $1500 for 1990- 91 . And, we recognize the challenge of distributing the limited amount of funds available to the growing pool of worthy organizations. However, if additional funds can be found, we would be very grateful to receive the requested amount of $3000. I look forward to speaking to you briefly at the Council meeting.

This is the same amount we received from the City of San Luis Obispo last year, and based on our present statistics, we anticipate providing our 24 hour services to the same number of people in your community during 1990-91, even though our actual statistics at the end of every year have been consistently higher than our projections for numbers of people served.
