REPORT TO: The Honorable Mayor Pamela B. Kennedy and City Council
FROM: Susan Moyer, Community Development Director
Chris A. Kukulski, City Manager
SUBJECT: Permission to Prepare a CDBG Public Facilities Grant Application
MEETING DATE: April 19, 2004
BACKGROUND: Northwest Montana Head Start, Inc. is a federally funded., private
non-profit program that provides pre-school and family support for
low-income children and their families. Over the last three years
the program has closed twice due to environmental health concerns
at its main facility in Kalispell and is currently operating only on a
home -school basis. These circumstances have reduced Head Start
services from 14 hours per week of classroom to a single 1 %2 hour
home visit per week. The City has an opportunity to apply for
funding through the Community Development Block Grant
program in May 2004. If successful, the funds would provide
$470,000 for partial funding to construct a new facility, as well as
generate $30,000 in administrative funds to the City.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending the City Council pass a resolution to
authorize the Community Development staff to prepare a CDBG
grant application and set the date of May 17, 2004 for a public
hearing on the submission of the application.
FISCAL IMPACT: The Community Development Department will be able to receive
up to $30,000 to cover the administration of the grant.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by Council.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan Moyer, Director
Community Development
