Wright Department Director: Contact Number: 407 - 905 -3100 xi -1530 City Manager: Robert D. Frank Subject: Community Grant Program — January 2012 Cycle Background Summary: The Community Grant Review Board (CGRB) met on February 8, 2012 to discuss the 9 applications received for the Community Grant Program (formerly the Community Merit Awards Program). The Community Grant Program provides financial grants of up to $500 made to Ocoee non - profit organizations and civic groups outside City limits which benefit residents of Ocoee. The grants are awarded twice yearly to acknowledge excellence and further the contributions these local organizations bring to the Ocoee community. There is $6,000 allotted for this cycle of the Community Grant Program. The Community Grant Review Board voted to fund 7 organizations in the amount of $3,500. Two organizations did not receive recommendations to receive grants: The Daughters of the American Revolution Orlando Chapter and Total Freedom Program. The Daughters of the American Revolution Orlando Chapter, while a worthy organization, did not meet the grant criteria as their program does not directly benefit Ocoee residents. Total Freedom Program did not have a representative present at the Community Grant Review Board Meeting, and therefore they were automatically disqualified. Issue: Should the Mayor and Commissioners approve the $3,500 funding recommendation made by the Community Grant Review Board? Recommendations Staff respectfully requests that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Community Grant Review Board's recommendation. Attachments: None Financial Impact: $6,000 funding is available for the grants.

Lori introduced Bill Richardson, a new Board member from the First Baptist Church. Ken Kelly, who was not able to come tonight, will also be on the Board. Brenda Smith is rejoining us, having served in the past. Ann Blakeslee will return in March. Ward gave a brief over -view of Board member responsibilities. The Board contracts were signed for the year. The minutes of December 6, 2011 were read. Ward moved to approve, with a second by Ted. The motion carried unanimously. The Treasurer's report was sent by e -mail. We presently have $64,000 for operations. The P &L showed that we spent less per month the last quarter. We received $6192 in grant income, including the United Arts Operations Grant. Ward reported on the Building Committee. The first order of business is to find a surveyor. Then work will commence on space requirements and the facade. The capital campaign will kick off with a letter in this month's newsletter and includes the cover story that was in the West Orange Times. Kay reported that a $500 grant from Ocoee is available. Ward moved that we apply for the Ocoee Community Grant. Ted seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The town manager of Windermere asked if we would act as a repository for all of their historic items. That would mean that we would catalogue, maintain, and hold their items, but they would retain ownership. Kay is consulting other museums and will get back to the Board after getting more information. On February 8 a new exhibit will open at City Hall, with a reception for the King family, our latest History Maker honorees. We also may have a speaker that night, Alzo Reddick. The newsletter is going out late again, and has wrong names on the addresses again. This is a concern, and Kay is talking with Andy Crabtree about finding another printer. Andy Crabtree and Will Blaine want to have a line of merchandise show - casing Winter Garden. They possibly will use the museum as their sales outlet. The Lakeview Middle School Project is coming up beginning January 27 through March 19. We will have 600 6 th graders coming through Winter Garden. They then will do a multimedia project about the city. May 16 there will be a reception for their projects. Lakeview's 85 Anniversary celebration is on May 18 and 19, so the projects will coincide with that. We received $500 from Stasha Boyd and Mike Lutz. That went towards our new computer server, which allows multiple usage in the Museums. Spring Fever is April 14 and 15. We will be doing the label show and need volunteers. Ward is starting on the Golf tournament. "Save the Date" cards will be sent out soon. They will also be able to pay on -line. The date is May 14 We need volunteers. Remember that "hole" signs bring in the most money, at $100 each. Our goal is $20,000 this year. Phil reported on the Museums attendance. The Heritage Museum has 1218 visitors in December, with a total of 10,687 for 2011. The Railroad had 581 in December, with 7,785 for the year. The Railroad Chapter had a total of 2082.5 hours for 2011. The FCRR track upgrade project got their $18.5 million grant to make improvements on the line. Work should start as early as April on the north end. The CFCNRHS Board will be making plans for the 100 Birthday celebration of our own Railroad Museum, the former T &G RR Depot. That will be in 2013. The Museums committee is also in the process of making a list of closure dates, which will be presented at the February meeting. Remember that February 11 is "A Very Special Evening with Jill Towers" at the American Legion Hall on Plant Street. We have 150 tickets, which can also be purchased on -line. Thank you to Ron Sikes for underwriting this event. There will be a Music Fest meeting sometime at the end of the month to discuss this past year's event. Our next meeting will be on the first Tuesday of the month, February 7, because of the conflict with Valentine's Day. Ted moved to adjourn, with a second by Ward. The meeting ended at 7 :03 p.m. Submitted by Andy Davis, Secretary S OU CITY OF OCOEE Community Grant Program Application Funding Cycle: JANUARY 2012 When completing this application, use only the space provided.

Youth Members Assisted by their parents or guardians, boys in Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Varsity Scouting and young men and women in Venturing pay their share from personal savings and participation in money - earning projects. Members buy their own uniforms, handbooks, and personal equipment and pay their own camp fees. Packs, Troops, Teams, and Posts Weekly or monthly dues and funds from approved money - earning projects meet expenses for supplies and activities in the Cub Scout pack, Boy Scout troop, Varsity Scout team, and Venturer crew. These monies help pay for camping equipment, registration fees, Boys' Life magazine, uniform insignia, special activities, and program materials. Community Organizations Each chartered organization using the Scouting program provides a meeting place and adult volunteer leadership for its BSA unit(s). The chartered organization and local council must approve unit money- earning projects before the launch of the project. Central Florida Council Financial resources for the Central Florida Council (the local nonprofit corporation chartered by the National Council) come from an annual Friends of Scouting (FOS) campaign, local United Ways, foundation grants, special events, project sales, investment income, trust funds, bequests, and gifts of real and personal property. These funds provide for professional staff supervision, organization of new Scouting units, service for existing units, training of volunteer leaders, and maintenance of council camps. They also finance the operation of the local council service center, where volunteer leaders can obtain literature, insignia, advancement badges, and other items vital to the program. In addition, the service center maintains advancement and membership records. National Organization Funds to support the national organization of the Boy Scouts of America come from registration fees, local council service fees, investment income, Scouting and Boys' Life magazines, sale of uniforms and equiprnent, contributions from individuals, and foundation grants. These monies help to deliver the program of the BSA (through four regional service centers and more than 300 local councils) to chartered organizations that use the Scouting program to meet the needs of their youth.

Please find enclosed a City of Ocoee Community Grant Program Application for review by the City of Ocoee's Community Grant Review Board, in hopes of a continued partnership to help our West Orange neighbors. This year, the Center is requesting $500 to help with the cost of gas for our Ocoee location's Daily Bread Program. Invoices showing these expenses are also enclosed. In 1981 due to the increased demand of the impoverished in the West Orange community, an outreach ministry of the Center was established to provide Family & Emergency Services. Since then hundreds of thousands of individuals have been touched through this compassion ministry. In 1991, our Daily Bread program expanded into the Ocoee location providing comfort to the hungry. In 2010, over 56,883 nourishing noon -time meals have been served to individuals in West Orange who would otherwise go hungry. The requested funds will help cover the cost of basic kitchen supplies that would allow this vital ministry to continue. Thank you for your continued support, friendship and for considering our 2012 community grant request.
