Consider Grant App] cat on nor Youth Centers and
Youth Shelters Bond �°ct. rF "188
Two bond acts have been enacted 410(h together provide for awarding
funds to acquire, renovate and onsI *ruct facilities and /or, purchase
equipment for youth centers and youth shelters. The County
Correctional Facility Capital Expenditures and Youth Facility Bond Act
(Proposition 86) was approved by I -he, voters in November, 1988, and
became effective on January 1, 198). Ther( is a maximum of Twenty -five
Million Dollars ($25,000,000) ava l,o) e uv to a limit. of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) per grant.
Funds are available to private %.oprofit
public agencies. There is a th -P- iPr
evaluating the grants:
1. Private nonprofit agenci�-_s;
2. Joint ventures between vhl c an
3. Public agencies (our ate c {o y
agencies, joint ventures and
inking of priority order for
ci private nonprofit agencies;
Additionally, agencies demonstrat 'i,1 a p -,ior history of providing a
wide range of youth programs -tn,1 .er-vicps such as recreation,
delinquency prevention such as ant igang pr()grams and programs fostering
resistance to peer group pressures, co,ar,;eling for problems such as
drugs and alcohol abuse and iicile, citizenship and leadership
development, and youth empIoymen+ wi'l be given the highest
consideration for grant awards. (jr cuy'rent and past history does not
demonstrate we have provided s.t( - sorvi e,, and programs other than
recreational which would lower oN cAting when being considered
for funding.

The age group targeted to be served by this grant are youths aged 6
through 17, inclusive, which somewhat narrows or tailors applicants to
groups specifically providing program; irld services to youths such as
Y.M.C.A. or Boys and Girls Clubs
As you are aware, the Moorpark 0uoy> anc! Girls Club is applying for
funding under the 1988 bond a g.. We would possibly do them a
disservice if the City applied a (I ac; th s time should support their
application.
Possible uses under the bond act f w,? were successful in being funded
may include a permanent building for th(> Star Club after school day
care program, teen center as par )I thr planned building at Arroyo
Vista Community Park or another in ition
The City
would not seem to win a
)mt)Et t re position for
the following
reasons:
1.
Third (3rd) tier of elig
bil ty;
2.
No prior history of
serving youth groups
other than
recreation programs and
rctivities;
3.
Broad age group that we
serve would mean costs
would have to
be prorated for time wh(
n facility is used for
ages 6 to 17
as required by the grant
r to i
(Funds not awarded during this for ling c yc e will be considered in the
next funding cycle, and we could ga;n )r ider applying for funding at
that time.
