She stated that the Non-Profit Contribution Grant Requests for Fiscal Years 2009-10 and 2010-11 will be discussed in two City Council workshop sessions. The Recreation and Community Services Director stated that the Non-Profit Contribution Grant Request Policy was updated in 2008 and put it on a two-year cycle at that time. There is an allotment and maximum use for facility use rental fee waivers, with the highest priority given to resident groups whose membership reflects at least a 50% Cypress residency. The Non-Profit Grant Request Application Form submittal deadline was January 23, 2009 at 5:00 p.m. The Recreation and Community Services Director commented that the Cypress Chamber of Commerce is the only group that had received a grant request in the past but did not submit an application for the upcoming two fiscal years. The Recreation and Community Services Director informed of the process for determining in-direct costs associated with the groups' grant requests, including staff support and equipment rentals. She stated that for this two year period, direct funding CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 2009 requests total $65,500 and in-direct funding requests total $1,025,000, which is 12.3% of the Recreation and Park District's total annual budget. Mayor Pro Tem Narain asked for clarification on the calculation of in-direct funding for non-profit groups that have received a grant request versus fee based groups. The Recreation and Community Services Director provided information on loss of revenue from facility and athletic field fee waivers and usage. Council Member Luebben asked about the grant funding requests' impact to the Recreation and Park District's budget and the programming benefits the non-profit groups offer to the community and the comparison to other cities. The Recreation and Community Services Director responded that there are only a few cities that offer direct funding support to non-profit groups and that there is a community value from the non-profit groups' events/activities. The Recreation and Community Services Director stated that the non-profit contribution grant policy gives priority to groups with 50%+ of members living in Cypress and that the composition of the organization needs to be reviewed to determine whether the group has open membership versus selective membership. The Recreation and Community Services Director reviewed the recommended grant requests for groups A and B for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. Mayor Bailey asked about grant funding for the tenant at the former Acacia Adult Day Services site. The Recreation and Community Services Director stated that, due to residency requirements, direct funding for Acacia Adult Day Services for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 has been reduced by $1,000, and reduced to zero for Fiscal Year 2010-2011. Mayor Pro Tem Narain asked about the criteria in the City's policy, whereas, organization's by-laws shall not call for the office of a Commissioner or City Council Member to be represented on the group's Board of Directors or general membership. The City Attorney responded that the criteria does not prohibit the City Council from being a member, but it does prohibit the organization from requiring a City Council Member to be a commissioner or on the board of directors. The Recreation and Community Services Director stated that in the past the Friends of Cypress Recreation & Parks, Inc. required that a member of the City Council serve on their board. Council Member Seymore stated that he did not vote during his service on the Cypress Community Festival Association Board while serving as a City Council Member. Mayor Bailey asked about the Friends of Cypress Recreation & Parks, Inc. grant request of $1,680 for snack bar and storage. The Recreation and Community Services Director replied that the $1,680 snack bar and storage request is for the storage of supplies for the group's annual Chili Cookoff. Council Member Luebben stated that the mission of the non-profit groups should be reevaluated. Mayor Bailey concurred with Council Member Luebben further expressing concern with the increase of some of the groups' proceeds in relation to their community sponsorship and how effectively they reallocate funds back to the community. The Recreation and Community Services Director discussed recommended non-profit grant requests for Group B which represents the sports groups and suggested that the groups be charged a nominal monetary incentive for field use. 2 ~~o CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 2009 Mayor Bailey commented that he has a difficult time agreeing to staff's recommendation of charging the sports groups for field use. The Recreation and Community Services Director suggested that the City Council allow staff an opportunity to work with the sports groups in determining a method for their actual field use. Council Member Luebben stated that he does agree to placing a value on field usage so that it more closely matches the sports group's actual field use. Council Member Mills stated that he concurs with the Recreation and Community Services Director. The Recreation and Community Services Director stated staff is recommending denial of Cypress Federal Little League and Cypress Pony/Colt Baseball's requests for waiver of field usage with lights. The Recreation and Community Services Director commented that incomplete applications were received from Cypress Futbol Club and Cypress Pop Warner. However, their requests have been provided to the City Council with a notation of what information their applications were lacking. Council Member Seymore stated that the non-profit groups have had 14 weeks to complete the application process and incomplete applications should not be given consideration. Council Member Luebben stated that he is concerned with Cypress Pop Warner's ability to meet the residency requirements. He requested further information on the funding for the Cypress Children's Advocacy Council. It was consensus of the City Council to disallow funding consideration for both Cypress Pop Warner and Cypress Futbol Club due to the incompleteness of their grant request applications. Furthermore, staff is to report back to the City Council on the funding for Friends of Cypress Recreation & Parks, Inc. Moody Street Beautification, Public Works Project No. 2008-04: The City Manager stated that the City Council is being presented with three options for the Moody Street beautification.

The Public Works Director displayed three landscape concepts with an overall view of suggested planting and shrubbery, taking into consideration traffic visibility and water conservation. The Senior Civil Engineer informed of the distance of tree and shrubbery placement, along with a brief description of the trees to be planted. He stated that the trees will be trimmed as not to interfere with traffic visibility. Council Member Seymore asked about the Interior Live Oak tree causing sight distant problems due to its low foliage. Council Member Mills asked about the height of the trees lowest limb. Carl Moritz, City Forester, responded that the trees lowest limb normally would be 13'/2'- 14' over a highway and over a curb can be 8'-10'. Mayor Pro Tem Narain asked if maintenance costs will be increased in order to provide for the trimming of these trees. 3 ,E~ CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 9, 2009 Mr. Moritz responded that these types of trees do not require a lot of maintenance once major limbs are taken off. The Senior Civil Engineer described the various ground coverings including agaves, aloes, fountain grass, and Mexican Bush Sage. Mayor Pro Tem Narain asked about the flowering of the aloes. Mr. Jim Kuhlken, Landscape Designer, Rick Engineering, Inc., stated that the aloes flower for a long period of time once per year. The Public Works Director stated that some of the hardscape improvements will tie in with Lincoln Avenue.
