Thank you for submitting your Community Matching Fund Application.
Following closure of the application process on June 25, RPCA staff will evaluate the proposals and recommend specific projects to proceed based on qualifications and the rating criteria.
Staff will present the proposals to the Park and Recreation Commission (PRC) at their September meeting on September 15, 2022. At this meeting, the applicants will have an opportunity to speak to the PRC about their project and answer questions.
The PRC will provide approval or request additional information at their Public Hearing on October 20, 2022. Groups may proceed with fundraising efforts once given PRC approval. Following approval, the City and the community group will enter into a formal agreement that outlines both the City and the group’s responsibilities. City matching funds will be available at the start of the fiscal year on July 1. Funds will be allocated to each project when a group has reached their fundraising goal.
Note: Funding for the Community Matching Fund will be based on the FY 2023 Operating & Capital Improvement Budget adoption on May 4, 2022 by City Council
