UNFINISHED BUSINESS

1. 1996 Barriers to Bridges Neighbourhood Development Grant On June 25, 1996, City Council deferred the approval of Barriers to Bridges Neighbourhood Development Grant and instructed staff to submit additional information on the recommended projects. On June 26, 1996, the Grunt Gallery informed Social Planning that the original recommended fund of $2,000 to their grant application is not sufficient for them to implement the program effectively and, therefore, wish to withdraw their grant application. Social Planning has reassessed the recommended applications and redistributed the $2,000 originally recommended to Grunt Gallery to several other community groups. Social Planning, therefore, would like to make new recommendations to Council: THAT Council approve a neighbourhood Development grant of $15,000 to be distributed to seven community service organizations in the amounts listed as follows; source of funds to be in the 1996 Other Grants: $1,000 to Downtown Eastside Youth Activity Society $1,000 to Douglas Park Community Centre Association $2,500 to Mount Pleasant Healthy Communities Committee/Mount Pleasant Community Centre $2,800 to Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House $2,400 to South Vancouver Neighbourhood House $2,800 to West End Community Centre Association $2,500 to Yaletown Neighbourhood Health Group.
