In Monday Council agenda there is a report reviewing the recommended grant allocations to Community Groups & Organizations.  The annual operating budget includes $23,ooo for grants.  Of that a portion has already been granted but $18,250 remains.  In this report there are are recommendations for $10,850.  I am going to be asking about some of the choices to understand the proposed allocations.  I don’t think there is a question about the “value” of what these groups are delivering to the community; the issue is simply how to divide the dollars budgeted.
