RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Amend Mayor and Council Communication G -17344 increasing the Wallace Foundation grant amount
from $750,000.00 to $765,000.00 and increasing the three year grant period to a four year grant period to
participate in a System Building Initiative for Out -of- School Time programs;
2. Authorize entering into a four year Agreement with the Wallace Foundation in the amount of

3. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the
Grants Fund in the amount of $15,000.00 from $750,000.00 to the total grant amount of $765,000.00,
subject to receipt of the grant funds.
DISCUSSION:
On August 9, 2011, (M &C G- 17344) the City Council authorized the application for and acceptance, if
awarded, of a three year grant in the amount of $750,000.00 from the Wallace Foundation (The
Foundation) to participate in a System - Building Initiative for Out -of- School Time (OST) programs, and
adopted an appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the grants fund in
the amount of $750,000.00.
The Foundation is a philanthropic organization based in New York City whose mission is to improve
learning and enrichment opportunities for children, particularly those living in distressed urban areas. The
Foundation pursues its mission through five major initiatives, including one that is targeted at building
systems to provide children with after - school, summer, and other OST programs.
The Foundation invited the City to submit a proposal to participate in its OST System - Building Initiative to
begin in early 2012. After passage of M &C G- 17344, the Foundation notified the City that it had been
awarded the grant and informed Staff that the Foundation would be increasing the total grant allocation
from $750,000.00 to $765,000.00 and extending the term of the grant from three years to four years. The
Foundation determined that, in the fourth year of the grant, the additional $15,000.00 would be used to

complete the final year wrap up, including a written evaluation piece and required travel. The overall grant
period runs from March 15, 2012 through March 14, 2016. The appropriation ordinance will increase
estimated receipts and appropriations in the grants fund by the additional aforementioned $15,000.00,
thereby, increasing the total funds available for this project from $750,000.00 to the full grant amount of
$765,000.00. This Mayor and Council Communication is necessary so that the City can execute an
Agreement with the Wallace Foundation for the full amount and term of the grant.
The goals of the City's OST System - Building grant project are as follows: to gather new and better data to
understand the needs of the community, particularly in the geographic areas of greatest needs, to focus
on efforts to improve and advance program quality through the establishment of standards and
assessments, and to work on developing strategies to improve program sustainability and structure.
The proposed grant program would serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
