Staff Report
Date: May 11, 1998
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Janet G. Shira, Community Relations/Projects DirectoS
Subject: Most Valuable Partnership (MVP) Neighborhood Matching Grants
Award Agreements and First Grant Payments
On May 5th, the City Commission approved the funding of each of the eight Neighborhood
Matching Grant applications. Prior to receiving any grant funds, each applicant must sign an
MVP Grant Award Agreement with the City. These agreements provide the specifics of each
grant such as the funding amount, matching grant amount, the total volunteer labor hours
dedicated to the project, and a general description of the project. They also outline the general
provisions of the program such as the way payments are made to applicants, the time period for
project completion, and other conditions of the grant awards. The eight agreements are attached
for your review and approval. (The applicants will be at the Commission meeting on May 19
and I will get their signatures prior to your approval of this item.)
Under the funding criteria, the applicants receive an initial twenty-five percent (25%) of the total
grant amount. Thereafter, it is the responsibility of each applicant to submit monthly financial
reports to include a summary of revenues and expenditures for their project. These reports
include specific information on the nature of all revenues (the City's contribution and the
neighborhood's matching funds) and a breakdown of expenditures, including back-up
documentation on voluntary hours, in-kind donations, and cash.
Once the neighborhood has drawn down from the initial allocation from the City (the 25% they
receive tonight) and its matching contribution for that allocation, a request can be made for a
second installment equal to 50% of the total grant award. This will be handled on a staff level
rather than bringing it back for subsequent City Commission approval. After the City has
received satisfactory financial reports detailing the expenditure of those funds, the third and final
installment (25%) will be provided to the neighborhood. Again, staff will approve the final
installment once sufficient documentation is presented.

MVP Awards Agreements
May 11, 1998
The only exception to the above funding criteria is Sleepy Harbour. Although they will still sign
an agreement, they are receiving their total grant award tonight. They have completed their
project and have submitted a final report for financial purposes.
With the issuance of these checks, the projects are now officially underway. Grant recipients are
encouraged to notify the City of work days (whether they are doing the work or whomever they
hire). The City would especially like to see "groundbreaking" ceremonies and other events that
will involve the neighborhoods and show the community the benefits of this program. We need
to remember that although this program allocates dollars for projects and programs, it was
established as a means of building a sense of community, both in our neighborhoods and
throughout the City. The program is not so much about money and building things as it is about
people coming together to improve their lives and having fun along the way!

monthly project reports as described in Paragraph 17. Termination of the Agreement
pursuant to this paragraph, shall preclude the Grantee from applying for any further grants
under the MVP Awards Neighborhood Matching Grants Program.
12. Notice of Termination: Upon the City's determination that Grantee has
breached any term of this Agreement (except the completion date for the project as
described in Paragraph 8), the City will provide Grantee written notice of said breach, and
provide, in the written notice, the corrective action that Grantee must take. If Grantee
does not take the above-described corrective action within fifteen (15) days of Grantee's
receipt of the written notice, this Agreement shall terminate without any further notice. The
corrective action must be acceptable to the City in order to avoid termination hereunder.
In the case of a breach of the completion date term, as defined in Paragraph 8, the
Agreement shall terminate upon the City's written notice to Grantee.
13. Subsequent to Termination: The City shall provide Grantee with a letter
confirming termination of the Agreement. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter,
the City shall close the grant account and return all remaining City funds to the general
operating fund.
14. Neighborhood Associations as Independent Contractors: It is agreed
•
between the parties that the Grantee is an independent contractor and is not an employee
or agent of the City.
3
15. Inspectors: The City, acting through the MVP Awards Neighborhood
Matching Grants-Program coordinator, reserves the right to place inspectors at the work
site or at the place. of shipment or delivery of materials under this Agreement, or at the
factory or in the neighborhood, in order to confirm the legitimacy of monies expended
under this Agreement, but not to observe the quality of the work done or the materials
used. The City does not assume any liability for the work performed or injuries incurred, in
_ any manner, and does not act in a supervisory capacity:
16. Financial Requirements: Upon award of the grant hereunder, the City shall
issue to the Grantee twenty-five percent (25%) of the total grant award. After the City
receives financial reports on City approved forms (with original invoices) accounting for
that amount, the City will issue a second payment of up to fifty percent (50%) of the total
grant award. After the Grantee submits sufficient documentation as to the expenditure of
these funds (financial reports and original invoices), a third installment of up to twenty-five
percent (25%) of the total grant funds may be allocated to the Grantee. The City reserves
the right to allocate the funds in portions it deems appropriate throughout the Project.
17. Monthly Reports: Monthly Project Reports must be submitted to the City
(Community Relations Department) on or before the 15th calendar day of each month
during the Project year, including the month the Project is initiated. Receipts, invoices,
and volunteer sheets must be submitted with the Monthly Project Reports. The City will
not allocate additional funds from the grant award until sufficient documents have been
submitted. The Grantee also agrees that if no financial reports are submitted, or if they
lack sufficient documentation (original receipts, invoices, and volunteer sheets) as the City
deems necessary, the award is subject to termination under Paragraph 11, above. The
submittal of Monthly Project Reports is an express condition of this Agreement.
Grantee's violation of said condition may result in termination of this Agreement
and revocation of the grant hereunder.
18. Audit: City maintains the right to review and audit any and all financial
records or any other records having to do with this Agreement, at any time.
19. Remaining Funds: Upon the completion of the Project, as determined by
the City, all remaining City grant funds allocated towards the Project but not expended on
the Project, will be retained by the City.
4
20. Grantee Labor as Portion of Matching Grant: Grantee agrees that no more
than fifty percent (50%) of the matching resources under this Agreement may consist of
volunteer labor. The hourly value of volunteer labor shall be $10.00 per hour. Labor
considered "professional" due to the necessity to be licensed, may be valued at the hourly
rate commonly charged by that profession. If there is a conflict between what the Grantee
submits as the professional hourly rate and what the City considers customary for that
profession, the City's determination will prevail.
21. Equipment: Should Grantee purchase equipment under this Agreement
and fail to use said equipment in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the City
shall have the right to immediately reappropriate the equipment and Grantee hereby gives
the City full license to do so. All equipment purchased hereunder with MVP Award
Neighborhood Matching Grants funds must be maintained and stored in a facility that is
accessible to the public/neighborhood, as envisioned under this Agreement. Failure to do
so may result in reappropriation of the equipment as described above.

related to the grant award, and agrees to comply with. the requirements set forth therein,
and to timely execute all applicable forms contained in the MVP Awards Packet.

receive charitable contributions. In order for the donor to receive a tax deduction on any
donations greater than $250.00, a Receipt-for-Charitable Donation Form must be
completed. This form can be obtained from the Program Coordinator. Any donations are
subject to IRS rules and regulations and the City makes no representations by virtue of
this Agreement, as to the tax deductibility of any donations.
24. Amendments: The City Manager shall have the authority to enter into
amendments to this Agreement for the City. Any such amendments must be mutually
agreed upon by the parties and must be in writing.

mailed to:

between the parties hereto and no statements, representations, or terms not included
within the written terms of this Agreement, can be considered a part of this Agreement.
27. No-Project Approval: This Agreement does not constitute a waiver of
any applicable Codes or regulations nor does it constitute approval of the Project for
development. All applicable Codes and regulations remain in full force and effect. If
permits from any governmental body are required for implementation of the Project,
Grantee must apply for those permits in the same manner any other entity would apply for
a permit. Grantee's Project is not accorded any special status for approval by virtue of this
Agreement.
28. Right-of-Way Agreements: Grantee shall be required to enter into
right-of-way agreements if the Project requires the construction of physical improvements
