RECOMMENDATION:                                                                                                                       

Informational report for discussion                     

BACKGROUND:                                                                                                                                 

Board Policy 2.2 Contract Authority, Procurement and Grants states that any discretionary grant pursued by the Authority will be consistent with the Authority’s mission and strategic priorities.  The policy also requires that the Executive Director notify the Board of Trustees if a discretionary grant of $250,000 or more is being sought.  This report on upcoming and in-process discretionary grant applications provides the Board an opportunity to be informed and give input on proposed grant applications.

The discretionary grant update provides information on:

                     Grants not selected for award

                     Grant applications proposed

                     Grant applications submitted waiting selection; and

                     Grants that have been selected for award but have not yet been obligated in a grant agreement

DISCUSSION:                                                                                                                                      

A grants update will be provided to inform that 5 grants are yet to be submitted. 14 Grants are awaiting selection (previously reported)  and 0 grants have been selected for award.
