Council
Member Hyde described the rationale behind his proposed reform of the Public
Service Grant process. The two major
features of the new system are the creation of a Public Service Grant
Committee to function as the equivalent of the Cultural Services Grant
Committee in the arts and culture grant process, and the establishment by
City Council each year of “priority populations” toward which the Public
Service Grant Committee should direct the majority of the available funding. APPROVE 4-0 A
floor amendment will be proposed at the Council meeting to change the date by
which the Council must establish the Priority Populations for 2008 (the bill
currently requires establishment by January 15, 2008). |
