PAGE 2 MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL SUBJECT: ALLOCAnON OF COMMUNITY GRANT FUNDS FOR FY 200911 0 April 3, 2009 recommendation to the Town Council; the Arts Commission reviews arts, cultural,
and educational service agency applications. The Community Grant funding process is rigorous. In January, nonprofit agencies submitted applications to be considered for grant funding.
The applications were reviewed by Evaluation Committees for both the Arts and Community Services Commissions. Each Evaluation Committee held at least two meetings to discuss the applications
and to develop a funding recommendation to their full Commission. At their regular March Commission meetings, each Commission considered its Evaluation Committee's funding recommendation.
The Community Services Commission meeting included a public hearing, as required by Federal CDBG regulations. Applicants were notified of all meetings and were invited to present their
applications at least at one meeting. Timing ofCouncil Actions: All Community Grant allocations will become part of the FY 2009/10 Operating Budget. Council recommends these allocations
at its first meeting in April to meet County and Federal CDBG deadlines. The grant amounts may then be incorporated into the proposed Operating Budget for the public budget healing in
May. Any requests for increased General Fund support should be referred to the May public budget hearings. The CDBG grants must be adopted by resolution, in compliance with Federal CDBG
regulations; they will also then be incorporated in the draft Operating Budget. This draft resolution is Attachment 2. DISCUSSION: Reports from the Arts Commission and Community Services
Commission, describing their respective funding recommendations, including summary information for each application, are attached. The grant application instructions asked agencies to
reduce funding requests in light of reduced CDBG funding and the Town's projected $2.5 million funding shortfall over the next two years. For this same reason, the Commissions were asked
asked to provide 4% and 8% reduced funding alternatives. Human Service The staff recommendation would maintain the current total level ofTown General Fund support for Human Service Agencies.
However, due to a 4% reduction in Federal CDBG funds, all of the agencies would receive less funding. The 8% reduction option would include a 4% General Fund reduction similar to that
being recommended for most other Town services and programs. The Community Services Commission recommends that all ofthe Human Service Agencies be funded at FY 2008/09 levels for a total
allocation of $129,090. CDBG dollars compose $27,050 ofthis allocation, a reduction of approximately $5,700 from the FY 2008/09 level of$33,730. The Commission suggests that the allocations
be slightly amended: given the current economic
PAGE 3 MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL SUBJECT: ALLOCAnON OF COMMUNITY GRANT FUNDS FOR FY 2009/10 April 3, 2009 climate and increased need for basic services for our residents, the Commission
recommends that the Second Harvest Food Bank request be fully funded at the requested amount. This results in an increase from $3,800 in FY 2008/09 to $5,000 next year. This $1,200 increase
is achieved by reducing grants to two agencies by $600: A Place for Teens is reduced from $12,000 in FY 2008/09 to $11,400 and the grant to the Teen and Family Counseling Center is reduced
from $27,050 to $26,450. Note that these recommended amounts are still greater than the amounts requested by the agencies. (Attachment 3) Arts Agencies The staffrecommended 4% reduction
results in a small savings to the General Fund. This recommendation gives three agencies the same level of funding as the current year and the other two agencies are provided their requested
amounts, which are lower than last year. The Arts Commission recommends that applicants be funded at FY 2008/09 levels for a total allocation of$8,500. (Attachment 4) If Council elects
to reduce Arts grants by 8%, then the Commission recommends that contributions to the Town for "Los Gatos Arts" be used to offset a portion of the cuts to limit the reductions to the
4% levels. CDBG Funding Although a portion ofCDBG funds are allocated to Human Service Agencies, Federal regulations require that most of the funds be allocated to housing or ADA projects.
A portion is also allocated for Program Administration. The total FY 2009/10 CDBG grant is expected to decrease from $133,214 to $129,067. Most of the reduction impacts the human service
category. Similar Federal CDBG reductions over the past several years has resulted in significantly decreased Federal CDBG support for Human Services agencies which the Town was previously
able to offset with General Fund monies. Staff recommends that CDBG Capital Project funds be allocated as shown in the Resolution, Attachment 2. The Town has a contractual obligation
of $13,000 with the County to administer the Urban County Housing Rehabilitation Program. The remainder of the funding would be used for Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliance
projects at Oak Meadow Park. This project will provide a safe and paved access for the users of Oak Meadow Park which is the busiest public park in Los Gatos. The scope ofwork will include
paving an existing dirt/gravel pathway from the parking lot to the restroom facilities at Oak Meadow Park. This area is used heavily by the public and it is not accessible for people
with disabilities using wheelchairs or similar devices.
PAGE 4 MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL SUBJECT: ALLOCATION OF COMMUNITY GRANT FUNDS FOR FY 2009/10 April 3, 2009 In addition this project will construct a paved pathway around the turf area of
Oak Meadow Park to provide wheelchair accessibility to the picnic areas and the band stand. This area currently has a dirt/gravel surface and is not accessible for people with disabilities
using wheelchairs or similar devices. Recommendation The Community Services Commission has provided Council three Human Service agency funding alternatives. The first, as recommended
by the Commission, increases the Town's General Fund support to offset the reduced Federal funding. The second, as recommended by Staff, maintains the current level of total General
Fund support, which results in a 4% total funding decrease due to the Federal cutbacks. The third alternative incorporates both the 4% Federal cut as well as a 4% Town cut to match reductions
elsewhere in the Town's budget. Per prior Commission and Council directio!], the grant applications specified that funding allocations would be made for two years to reduce agency and
staff workload. Hence, the FY 2010111 allocations will mirror the FY 2009/10 allocations unless additional cuts are made to the CDBG Program or General Fund support. Any cuts will be
made proportionately to all grants based on FY 2009/10 Grant allocations. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The recommended actions are not a project defined under CEQA and no further action
is required. FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the Community Services Commission's recommendation would result in an increase in General Fund contributions to the Grant Program of approximately
$5,700 to offset reduced Federal CDBG funds. Approval ofthe staff recommendation would maintain current total levels of General Fund support for Human Service Agencies. Approval ofthe
staffrecommendation for Arts Grants would result in a 4% General Fund savings over the current fiscal year. Any additional requests for increases from the General Fund will be considered
as part part of the FY 2009/10 Operating Budget transmittal. CONCLUSION: Applications for CDBG, Arts and Community Grants are reviewed by the Community Services and Arts Commissions.
The Town's Community Grant program provides support to community organizations through the General Fund and the CDBG Program. Attachments 1 and 2 summarize the Commissions' recommendations.

Attachment 3 To: From: Subject: Datc: COMMUNITY SERVICE COMMISSION MEMORANDUM Mayor and Town Council Community Services COIlllnission FY 200911 0 Community Grant Allocation Recommendations
March 26, 2009 RECOMMENDATION The Community Services Commission recommends that Council approve the General Fund and Community Development Block Grant allocations for inclusion in the
FY 200911 0 Operating Budget as shown in Exhibits A and B. BACKGROUND The Community Grant program provides grants to non-profit agencies through General Fund and Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funding sources. Applications for funding are reviewed by the Community Services Commission for recommendation to the Town Council; the Arts Commission reviews arts,
cultural and educational service agency applications. This repOli summarizes the COIlllnunity Services Commission's recOllllnendation. DISCUSSION The Town received 14 applications for
funding in the I-Iuman Services category. Summaries of thcse applications are attached as Exhibit C. Evaluation Committee members met on February 19 and 24 to discuss the services provided
by the applicants, the benefit reccived by Los Gatos residents, and the agencies' funding rcquests for FY 200911 O. TIle COImnunity Services COllllnission held a public hearing on March
12 to consider the Evaluation Committee's recommendations. JIuman Services Funding Recommendation The Community Services Department and the members of the Evaluation Committee concur
that the current agencies arc meeting the goals of their FY 2008/09 grant contracts and are providing valuable human services to Los Gatos residents. There have been no dranlatic changes
in the level of service provided by the agencies; the Commission recommends that all agencies be allocated the same grant amowlt in FY 200911 0 that they received in FY 2008/09.
FY 200911 0 COlmnunity Grant Allocation RecOlmnendations Page 2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, given the current economic climate and increased need for basic services for our residents,
the Commission recommends that the Second Harvest Food Bank request be fully funded at the requested amount. This results in an increase from $3,800 in FY 2008/09 to $5,000. This $1,200
increase is possible by reducing grants to two agencies by $600: A Place for Teens is reduced £i'om $12,000 in FY 2008/09 to $11,400 and the grant to the Teen and Family Counseling Center
is reduced from $27,050 to $26,450. Funding for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) comes ultimately from the federal govenunent. In FY 200911 0, the public service portion of the
CDBG grant allocation to the Town will be reduced from the FY 2008/09 amount of$32,730 to $27,050. The Committee recommends that agencies receiving CDBG funds be allocated the same amount
in FY 200911 0 as they received in FY 2008/09, and that the difference be made up with Town General Fund monies. Three new applications for funding are not recommended at this time.
However, the Commission asks that the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation be considered for funding by increasing the total amount of general funds available. The Commission extends
its thanks to all the agencies who patiieipated in this process. CDBG Funaing Recommendations In addition to human services grant requests, the Commission considered atld approved the
staff recommendations for allocation ofCDBG Funds to an ADA project at Oak Meadow Park, and Grant Administration funding for administration of the Housing Conservation Progratn, as shown

Provide brief description of agency, agency goals, and agency services. List direct services and quantity below. The Ombudsman Program has a unique role. The Program specifically serves
residents in long term care facilities with unimpeded legal and confidential access to these residents 7 days a week. As independent advocates, the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is
the only certified, umestricted organization that can go into long term care facilities on a resident's behalf. The primary purpose of the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program is to receive,
identify, investigate and impartially resolve complaints made by, or on behalfofresidents oflong term care facilities. The resident is at the center ofthe provision oflong-tem1 care
services as a consumer. The Ombudsman Program reinforces the ccntrality ofthe resident. The care setting in which the vulnerable and dependent resident is placed has its own priorities
and constraints. The balance ofpower is tilted towards the provider, and one of the functions ofthe Long-term care Ombudsman is to correct this tendency. The effect ofcumulative visitation,
at unannounced times throughout a year, raises the level ofstaffaccountability to care for all of the residents. Ultimately the goal of such visits is the improvement of the quality
of care and life in that facility. Direct Services Service Number of Services Provided FY 2009110 FY 2008/09 FY 2008/09 (proposed) (adopted) (actual mid-year) Unduplicated resident contacts

Hennessy, Finance Director Name of Agency: Santa Clara Family Health Foundation Site Address: 210 East Hacienda Avenue, Campbell, CA 95008 Name of Executive Director: Kathleen M. King
Project Description: Provide brief description of agency, agency goals, and agency services. List direct services and quantity below. BACKGROUND Santa Clara Family Health Foundation
(the Foundation) is a 501 (c) (3) charitable nonprofit organization that was founded by Santa Clara Family Health Plan (the Health Plan) in July 2000 to redistribute the Health Plan's
resources back into the corrunmity, and receive grants and charitable contributions for programs and projects that the Health Plan would undertake in the future. Shortly after the founding
of the Foundation, the Children's Health Initiative (CHI) was created by the Health Plan with erthusiastic support from Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, Santa Clara Valley Health
and Hospital System, and other corrununity-based organizations. The approach of CHI was to conduct corrununity outreach to enroll children into current programs and create a new program
that would cover all other children who were ineligible for the current programs. Therefore, the Health Plan, along with corrun",nity partners, established Healthy Kids with core funding
from public tobacco funds and funding from the Health Plan. Because of the estimated need for the provision of services to approximately 18,000 children, it was clear that significant
additional funds had to be raised. As a result, the Foundation's primary focus for the past seven years has been on raising funds to support the Healthy Kids program and the Children's
Health Initiative in Santa Clara County. CIDLDREN'S HEALTH INITIATIVE CHI is a strategic, policymaking collaborative that includes organizations with a corrunon interest in the health
and well-being of children in the county. CHI's approach of conducting community outreach efforts to enroll children into MediCal, Healthy Families, and HealtllY Kids has had a significant
impact on insuring children in the county. By June 2003, 34,611 uninsured children were enrolled in Medi-Cal or Healthy Families, and 11,643 were enrolled in Healthy Kids. From July
2003 to June 2007, another 26,389 uninsured children were provided coverage. HEALTHY KIDS The Healthy Kids program in Santa Clara County is health care coverage that enables lowincome
children in Santa Clara County to receive health services they need for healthy development. The program fills a critical gap created by the eligibility criteria of government Santa

position is currently vacant Project Description: Provide brief description of agency, agency goals, and agency services. List direct services and quantity below. The Wildlife Center
of Silicon Valley is a 501(c)3 organization. Our mission is to provide quality care for, and rehabilitation of, injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife in Silicon Valley. Through our education
and outreach program, newsletter, telephone hotline and website (www.wcsv.org) we strive to foster a positive coexistence between the public and wildlife. We also encourage an interest
in and concern for wildlife and conservation issues. The staffand volunteers ofthe WCSV care for an average of4,000 injured, orphaned, and sick birds and manunals each year. We are the
only wildlife rehabilitation and release organization between Mountain View and Morgan Hill. Over the past ten years, we have rehabilitated tens ofthousands ofbirds and mammals representing
over 140 different species. We have also increased Silicon Valley residents' awareness and understanding of wildlife issues through our educational outreach and telephone advice programs.
Because ofthe extraordinary efforts and generosity of over 120 dedicated volunteers, we are able to provide our valuable services on a budget far smaller than similar organizations in
California. However, each year we face financial challenges. Although we do contract to provide wildlife services to the citie, we serve, we must raise well over halfof our armual budget
through monetary and in-kind donations, membership fees, and grants. Put simply, we are an organization that helps people help wild animals. When residents find an injured animal, they
have a place to go for information and assistance. We make a difference in the lives of thousands of people --and thousands of wild animals --in Silicon Valley. Application for Community

The Arts Commission recommends that Council approve the General Fund Arts Grant allocation for inclusion in the FY 2009110 Operating Budget. (Attached as Exhibit A.) BACKGROUND The Conununity
Grant program is funded tln'ough the Town's General Fund. It provides grants to non-profit agencies in addition to the federally-funded CDBG grants that the Town allocates. The Arts
Commission reviews arts, cultural and educational service agency applications. This rcpOli sUlllinarizes the Arts Conunission's recommendation for FY 2009110 grant allocation. DISCUSSION
The Town received five applications for funding in the Arts/Education category. Summaries of these applications are attached as Exhibit B. Community Grant Evaluation COlllinittee members
met on February 17 to discuss the agencies' funding requests for FY 2009110, services provided by the applicants, and the benefit received by Los Gatos residents. Three of the five applicants
attended the meeting and highlighted their applications. TIle following Evaluation Committee COlllinents were passed along to the agencies: Photographic Guild -The Committee encourages
the Guild to expand its fundraising effOlis and consider (1) charging minimal contest entry fees; (2) applying to other agencies for funding; (3) coordinating efforts with Saratoga High
School; and (4) seeking support from local businesses. Community Conceli Association -The Committee suggests that the Association increase its adveliising and outreach and that it consider
raising ticket pl1ces. Sunset ConceIi Series -The COlllillittee encourages the applicant to ask St. Luke's to provide the facility at no cost and to consider holding events at altemate

FY 200911 0 COImnunity Grant Allocation RecOlmnendations Page 2 For FY 2009/10, the Commission recOlmnends funding for all five organizations at the same level as the 2008/09 budget.
Funding altematives at 4% and 8% reduction levels are also provided. Inveshnent in the arts results in significant retums. Atis organizations play an important role in building and sustaining
economic vibrancy. They employ people, spend money locally, generate govennnent revenue and are an impOliant component of economic development. Most impOliantly, tlle arts are vital
to maintaining an outstanding quality oflife and the education of children. Patiicipation in the atis opens up children's worlds at1d minds and offers them skills needed for a bright
future. The atis playa tremendous role in the lives of every Los Gatos resident, young at1d old. Support for Los Gatos atis orgat1izations helps build a robust cultural community. Local
Arts organizations face increased expenses, a struggle to raise funds and are typically unable to cover the costs of their operations with ticket salcs alone. These organizations rely
on public support at1d rerum the investment tll1'ough a vibratlt community. When we invest in att, we invest in our community. EXHIBITS A. FY 2009/10 Community Grant Funding Recommendation
