INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the City Council's approval of the

Partnership (cp2) grant and transfer the funds for the same program to Hillcrest Family

BACKGROUND
In May 2004, the City Council approved a Community Partnership (cp2) grant for the

been expended, with a remaining balance of $6,755.
The Gannon Center for Community Mental Health has requested the grant be

which provides transportation costs for clients to access needed services and establish
outpatient group therapy skill-building sessions for the mentally ill.
The Community Development Advisory Commission reviewed the request at their April
12th meeting and concurred to transfer the cp2 grant to Hillcrest Family Services.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution and amendment to
rescind the Gannon Center Community Partnership grant and transfer the funds for the
same program to Hillcrest Family Services.
ACTION STEP
The action step for the City Council is to approve the attached resolution and
agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign on behalf of the City.
