Gene Williford Nancy J. Parker, District 4 • STAFF REPORT TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners FROM: Janet Shira, Assistant to the City Manager DATE: June 1, 2004 RE: Community Merit Award Applications for the April 2004 Cycle ISSUE Should the Mayor and City Commissioners approve the recommendations made by the Community Merit Awards Board at their May 26th meeting? BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION The application window for this cycle was April 1st through April 30th. The cycle was advertised in the West Orange Times, on the City's website, on the OGTV bulletin board, and postcards were mailed to previous applicants and those organizations who have requested to be notified of potential grant opportunities. The City received 15 applications and they are attached for your review. A total of $7,500 was requested from the 15 applicants. The Community Merit Award grant program was allotted $10,000 in the 2003/2004 fiscal year. After awarding the first round of grants in November, there is $4,400 remaining for this cycle. The table below identifies all the applicants for this cycle, the funds they requested, the Community Merit Award (CMA) Board's recommendations, and a summary of the comments made by the Board members during their discussions of the applications. The CMA Board considered several factors when making their recommendations: • The amount of money remaining in the budget for these grants • Past grants received by the applicants • When the applicants needed the funds (whether they could wait until the Fall cycle) • How well the application met the criteria of the Community Merit Awards Program Also attached to this report is a report from each cycle which lists the applicants, the amount of money they requested, and the amount awarded by the City. Page 2 - Community Merit Awards Staff Report Applicant Funds CMA Board CMA Board Comments Requested Recommendation American Legion Post 109 $500 $0 Applicant needs to be more specific on how many banners and how many school medals/awards will be purchased with the grant funds and when those programs take place during the year.

It quickly became the unofficial symbol of a child in the service. • On Sept.24, 1917,an Ohio congressman read the following into the Congressional Record: "...The mayor of Cleveland,the Chamber of Commerce and the governor of Ohio have adopted this service flag. The world should know of those who give so much for liberty. The dearest thing in all the world to a father and mother-their children." .• During World War II,the Department of War issued specifications on the manufacture of the flag as well as guidelines indicating when and by whom the Service flag could be flown or the Service Lapel button could be worn. The Department of Defense updated the guidelines on December 1, 1967 with DoD Directive 1348.1,which implemented an Act of Congress authorizing a service flag and a service lapel button(U.S.C. 179-182). • The Blue Star Service Banner typically displayed in windows is an 8.5 by 14-inch white field with a blue star(s)sewn onto a red banner. The size may vary but should be in proportion to the size of the U.S.Flag. • Today Blue Star Service Banners are displayed by families who have a loved one serving in the armed forces including the National Guard and Reserves of all military departments (https://www-perscom.anny.mil/tagd/tioh/FAQ/ServiceFlagFactSheet.htm). The banner displayed in the front window of a home shows a family's pride in their loved one serving in the military,and reminds others that preserving America's freedom demands much. • The blue star represents one family member serving in the armed forces. A banner can have up to five stars,signifying that five members of that family are currently in military uniform on active duty. • If the individual symbolized is killed or dies while serving the star representing that individual will have superimposed on it a gold star of smaller size so that the blue forms a border. On flags displaying multiple stars,including gold stars,when the flags are suspended as against a wall,the gold star(s)will be to the right of,or above the blue star(s)a place of honor nearest the staff. • Blue Star Mothers and Gold Star Mothers organizations were established during World War I and remain active today. • Blue Star Service Banners,while widely used across America during World Wars I and II, were not embraced during the Korean or Vietnam wars with nearly the same enthusiasm. • The American Legion is rekindling the spirit of pride in our military men and women following the horrific terrorist attacks of September 11,2001. The American Legion is providing banners to families in communities across the nation. Free color downloads are available at www.legion.org of the banners and static cling versions for home and automobile,as well as lapel pins,are available from The American Legion National Emblem Sales. • The American Legion also has a special Blue Star Banner Corporate Flag for government and corporate America to show their support for employees called to active duty in the war against terrorism. 71 Funding Cycle:April 2004 For more information, please call the Community Relations Department at (407) 90E3109 or-" e-mail janets@ci.ocoee.fl.us.

We get a lot of recognition from them. We are trying to obtain a school bus to advertise S.T.A.R.S. This bus would have a banner on the side that would draw attention to our program. We can move the bus from school to school to draw attention and get the fr word out. Barbara made a motion that we send in an application for the City of Ocoee Community Merit Awards Program. Valerie seconded the motion. All the committee Lvoted and agreed to send it in. We talked about backpacks and items left over from last year. Some schools were using the extra for new students coming into the school. As they enrolled, they were given a backpack full of supplies. What a Welcome! All schools need to take an inventory of leftover items. We talked about trying to get away from the clear backpacks for this next school year.

Daytime phone number(407) 877-5027 E-mail address: hooperd@ocps.net What are you seeking grant money for? What specifically will the money be used for?Each year approximately 20%of our students wear glasses. We can contact the Lion's club to assist a needy family in attaining glasses for a child, however we have no funds to assist students needing eyeglass repairs. Children have had to go for months without glasses as these families have no funds for repairs. Additionally, if a child has additional academic needs, the necessary testing can not be administered until the glasses are repaired and it can be determined the needs are academic, not as the result of impaired vision. Consequently, valuable learning time is lost. We would like to use the money to repair glasses in a timely manner. If we had the funds available, we could take the glasses to Walmart and have them repaired within 24 hours. Each repair generally costs $75.00. What dollar amount are you requesting?(The maximum grant award is$500.) $500.00 Is your organization getting funding from any other source for this specific project? no What is your organization's primary funding source? donations, grants How much money does your organization receive from this source each year?We have had no funding in the past, this is a vision of our school nurse.

When a child cannot learn because of illness or another physical problem,they visit the clinic and I attempt to help them. I do this based on the resources available to the clinic. One problem that can be easily solved is the replacement of broken eyeglasses. Working parents or families with limited budgets are often unable to replace or repair glasses in a timely manner. This can negatively impact a child's learning. The attached grant request would enable eyeglasses to be replaced promptly. Please consider this grant application. Sincerely, Diane Nathanson R.N.
