MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM: Minal Shah, Assistant City Manager- Finance
DATE: 6/21/2012
RE: Authority to Apply for a $500,000 Cultural Facilities Matching Grant.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending the Commission authorize Staff to submit a $500,000 matching
grant application for the purpose of the expansion of Pelican Community Park's
Community Center.
REASONS:
The City has an opportunity to apply for a Cultural Facilities Grant funded by the Florida
Department of State through the Division of Cultural Affairs for the renovation,
construction and acquisition of cultural and community facilities. The maximum grant
award is $500,000 and requires a 2 to 1 match. Therefore, the City would be committing
to $1,000,000 of its own funds for matching purposes. However, the granting agency
allows for a "look back" period, where the matching can come from City expenses that
occurred in the recent 5 years from the application date. In this case, the City did expend
more than a $1 million in the construction of the Pelican Community Center. As such, no
additional monies are required for the City's matching funds requirement.
If awarded, the grant expenditures must occur between July 1, 2013 and April 1, 2015
and the funds must be encumbered by June 30, 2014.
The City will be notified by July 2013 on award status.
Based on the project scope and the timing of expenditures, Staff deems that the
expansion of Pelican Community Park's Community Center would be the best suited
project for this grant.
