Subject: Approval of Resolution Disbanding the Community Grant RevievMaTil
Background Summary:
Article II, Section C-8.0 of the Charter of the City of Ocoee, Florida, provides that the City of Ocoee
has the power to create boards, commissions and committees to advise and assist the City in carrying
out municipal functions. The City Commission of the City of Ocoee created the Community Grant
Review Board in 2002 as a permanent advisory body to the City Commission. The general purpose of
the Community Grant Review Board ("CGR Board") is to review grant applications submitted to the
City from nonprofit organizations and make funding recommendations to the City Commission.
At the Tentative Budget Hearing held on September 12, 2018 the City Commission, by consensus,
agreed the Community Grant Review Board should be suspended; and further approved to remove
the funds budgeted under the Community Grant Review Board to be placed in the Contingency Fund.
The City Commission feels it is in the best interest of the City to disband the Community Grant Review
Board and reserves the right to reinstate the board at a later time, if necessary.
Issue:
Should the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the Resolution disbanding the
Community Grant Review Board?
Recommendations:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners approve the
Resolution disbanding the Community Grant Review Board due to funds no longer being available for
this grant program.
