SAFE AND HEALTHY COMMUNITY ADVISORY COMMITTEE MINUTES – MARCH 2, 2017.
1.INCLUSION / BELONGING GRANT
Mr. M. Hildebrand circulated a chart outlining the Inclusion/ Belonging Grants submitted and
reviewed between 2014 and 2016. He commented that the projects considered were varied
and served to provide an overview of events held throughout the community. During the
previous Committee term, a decision was made to retain 25% of the available funds to pay for
work or projects tied directly to the work plan with the remaining 75% being allocated for
granting purposes.
Mr. Hildebrand advised the Committee’s current budget is $26,000. and asked that
consideration be given on whether or not to continue providing grant funds and, if so, in what
amount.
In response to questions from the Committee, Mr. Hildebrand noted the 25% of the 2016
budget allocated for Committee work was not spent; however, in 2015, funds were spent to
support a joint meeting of regional Safe & Healthy Committees as well as sponsoring a
reception for a Citizenship Court held at City Hall.
Ms. E. Clarke noted her support for continuing with the 25 / 75% split; however, other
members proposed continuing with the grant but determining the split after the Committee
finalizes its work plan.
Mr. D. Witmer questioned what the funds would be used for, if not for the Inclusion / Belonging
Grant. Mr. Hildebrand commented that items included in the upcoming work plan would
determine any spending of funds.
On motion by Ms. E. Clarke –
It was resolved:
“That the Safe and Healthy Community Advisory Committee approve the allocation of
funds for the continuation of the Inclusion / Belonging Grant for 2017-2018; and further,
That the percentage split of funds allocated towards committee work and grant funding
be determined once the Committee’s work plan has been adopted and approved.”
