Analysis: The grants awarded through the foundation are limited to $23,745
maximum. No matching funds are required. The project is funded for a twelve

funding.
Financial Considerations: The proposed resolution will authorize the
acceptance of a grant up to $23,745 from the Firehouse Subs Public Safety
Foundation. There is no matching fund requirement; therefore, there will be no
impact on the general fund by accepting the grant.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: There will be no fiscal impact on
the CCG budget.
Legal Considerations: Approval of the grant will obligate the City to all
conditions of the grant award.
