LLO--W§:,.~., .- '~'~, "~ <br /> · '.'.'~'~'~~' '"~' ' ~' ", ~ <br /> ~'-'~~Ll~.'~';~' 3'.he.~)uncil'¥" of the City of Santa Aha hereby finds, determines <br /> and declares as follows: ~:;"-~ <br /> <br /> A. The City Council authorized the Grants for Blocks Program ("Program") in <br /> March of 1999, by Resolution No. 1999-014. The Program was <br /> established to encourage community building projects and greater <br /> collaboration between neighborhood groups, service clubs, schools, <br /> community-based organizations, the faith community and local <br /> businesses. <br /> <br />The Program has been successful, attracting gifts of over $35,000.00 and <br />funding over forty improvement projects, but certain types of charitable <br />foundations are not able to make gifts to local government and would <br />prefer to work with non-profits incorporated under Section 501 (c) (3) of <br />the Internal Revenue Code or Community Foundations. <br /> <br />The Orange County Community Foundation ("OCCF") is a non-profit <br />organization established to administer donations received and distribute <br />grants to meet the needs of the Orange County community. <br /> <br />The City recommends contracting with OCCF to establish Grants for <br />Blocks as a non-endowed Agency Fund and continue normal operation of <br />the Program, while allowing charitable foundations to donate their gifts <br />directly to OCCF, with annual fees to be paid to OCCF in the amount of <br />two percent (2%) of the fund balance. <br /> <br /> Section 2. The City Council hereby authorizes the establishment of Grants for <br />Blocks as a non-endowed Agency Fund with the Orange County Community <br />Foundation. <br /> <br /> Section 3. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby authorizes and <br />empowers the Executive Director of the Community Development Agency or his <br />designee to execute in the name of the City of Santa Ana all necessary applications, <br />contracts, agreements, amendments and payments needed for the establishment and <br /> <br />Resolution No. 2001-020 <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br /> <br /> <br />
