Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved a framework for distributing Environmental Community Investment Agreement grant money to local projects. The system will have two types of grants: larger ones requiring council approval and smaller community mini-grants with a simpler process. This opens the door for residents and organizations to apply for environmental funding starting with the 2017-18 budget year. The council also decided to revisit the criteria for one grant category when staff returns with the full budget details at a future meeting.
