Commission Memorandum
REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Ken Stocks, Grants Specialist
Anna Rosenberry, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Presentation from community service providers interested in applying for funding for a Public Facilities Project through the Community Development Block Grant from the Montana Department of Commerce.
MEETING DATE: February 25, 2013.
AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Action.
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to listen to provider presentations. BACKGROUND: Montana Department of Commerce requires community needs input from
local non-profits, non-governmental organizations and similar community service providers
interested in applying for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the Montana
Department of Commerce (MDOC) through the City of Bozeman. The purpose of the presentation of community needs is to identify potential projects with the highest potential for providing maximum benefit to low and moderate income families. This process is required to
establish compliance with MDOC’s requirements for ensuring adequate citizen participation in
the selection of projects. Selected project(s), if any, will be announced during a subsequent
meeting of the City Commission. FISCAL EFFECTS: Approval of this request will have no adverse impacts on current City
budgets. The CDBG program requires a 25% match. Other than in-kind commitments by the
City including grant writing support during the application process and grants administration and
financial administration in the event of funding award, matching requirements are the responsibility of the community services provider(s) on whose behalf the grant is submitted.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the City Commission.
