Schools would receive all budgeted Federal Impact Aid and other categorical aid funds. These funds are received dzrectly into the School Operating Fund. D. Schools would receive all budgeted revenues from school- sponsored sale/rent-use of school property, charges for school services and miscellaneous school revenue. These funds are currently budgeted into the School Operating Fund. E. The budgeted City local tax contribution in any fiscal year will be determined by the following calculation: Projected revenues from 62 cents/$l00 of undedicated Real Estate Taxes, plus Projected revenues from 50% of the 1 cent local option sales tax, Jl11l£ Projected revenues from 50% of the cable television franchise tax, plus Projected revenues from dedicated taxes intended for the incremental operating costs of new schools constructed.

Adopted by the Council of the City of Virginia Beach on the 5th day of January, 1993. Approved as to Content: E. D. Block, Director Department of Management and Budget CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH Community Organization Inœntive Grants Guidelines and Proœdures A. Statement of Purpose The City recognizes that not-for-profit organizations fill an important place in the spectrum of service delivery alternatives in a community. To encourage not-for-profit organizations to provide services to both residents and visitors to Virginia Beach, the city has established a system to award monetary grants to qualified not-for-profit organizations. These grants are intended to: 1. Provide "last resort" capital or operating budget support to not-for-profit agencies which provide service to residents or visitors to the city, or which improve the general quality of life in the city through various programs. "Last resort" Implies that all other sources of funding have been explored and exhausted.] 2. Supplement (not supplant) funding from other sources available to not-for-profit organizations up to thirty- five percent (35%) of the total budget of the program for which funds are sought. 3. Be limited in size to encourage the not-for-profits to seek alternative resources of funds, donated materials, and volunteer labor. ,I 4. Encourage the not-for-profit organiz.1tions to provide services which meet specific needs pf Virginia ß~1ch residents or visitors, and which complement services provided by city departments or by the private sector. 5. Relate specifically to measurable levels of service provided to residents or visitors to the city. 6. Promote program accountability through monitoring and reporting of services provided. In that these grants are incent.ives to foster new services in the city, a goal of the process is to encourage community support for programs so that, over time, city funds can be supplanted with funds from other sources. This will allow city funds to be directed towards new programs in the future. IDEALLY, ALL COIG FUNDS FOR A GIVEN PROGRAM WILL BE PHASED OUT OVER A FIVE YEAR DEVELOPMENTAL PERIOD. Extensions of this five year period may be required for agencies with a long dependence upon city grant funding. B. History of City Grants The City of Virginia Beach has provided assistance to not-for-profit organiz.'1tions which provide services to city residents since 1963. Over time, both the number of agencies requesting such assistance and the amount of funding provided for assistance has increased substantially. A grant review and reporting process was initiated in FY 85-86 to provide criteria for alloC4'1tion of funds to agencies and to monitor services provided during a given funding period. Data collected from the quarterly reports submitted by the agencies are used to compile a quarterly grant report for the City Council. The growth in the number of applications for grants, the competition among agencies providing similar or dupliC4'\te services, the diversity and complexity of the applications, the service needs of the city which could be addressed by the not-for-profit sector, and the increase in grant funding hn-v-e created a need for fonnalized guidelines for review of applications. +hese guideJ.mes .,viIJ be used b,y staff t&-p~e-iniMker-eening-{}~plications-and to rormul~ funding recommendations for Council re,'iew-and-aetfølh In FY 89-90.

ATTACHMENT ONE Community Organization Incentive Grants Guidelines and ProœcJum¡ C. Objectives of the Process The Community OrganiL'1tion Incentive Grant AUoent-ion-GuideHnes Review and Allocation Committee should provide for a fair and reasonable allocation of funding to qualified applicants. Funding available for such allocation is detennined by an annually established fonnula not to exceed one dollar per capita for the general city population. The population estimate to be used in this fonnula wil) be the City's Department of Planning estimate for January 1 of the calendar year during which aJlocations are being made (e.g., January 1, 1993 for allocation of funds to be provided in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1993). The procedures to fulfill this allocation process are intended to meet the following minimum ob~ectives: 1. Annually distribute funds authorized by Citv Council throu{!h the appropriation of a blockl of fundin{! within the Non-Departmental - Grants portion of the Approved Operating Budget in a fair and reasonable manner to qualified agencies which will provide the most effective and efficient services to residents of Virginia Beach or visitors to the city. 2.

Provide a {!rant fund distribution process with a schedule that parallels that of the operatin{! budl!et process, but which is not intennin2led with the operatin2 bud2et process. 4. Ensure control and monitoring of grants awarded throughout the fiscal year for which funding is provided, including mandatory grantee reporting. 5. Ensure that each grant recipient complies with grant requirements by having the appropriate city agency be responsible for monitoring the grantee agency programs. The composition of the AlIot.'\tion and Review Committee shall be dcsie:nated bv Council ordinance. D. Agency Eligibility for Community Organization Incentive Grant An agency is eligible to apply for a Community Organization Incentive Grant (COIG) from the City of Virginia Beach if it meets the following minimum criteria: 1.

Contractual services which a grant agency provides the city must be disclosed in grant applications. Payments for such services do not automatically exclude an agency from grant eligibility. However, grant funds will not be provided to support the same services or costs which are provided under contract to the city. The agency cnnnot be eligible to apply for a grant through the City of Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission. (Those agencies currently funded under the COIG program but which are eligible for Arts and Humanities grants are specifically IIgrandfatheredll from this criterion. These agencies are the Lifesaving Museum of Virginia and the Neptune Festival. The restrictions set forth in item #3 apply.) The agency must have fulfilled all reporting, auditing, and payment obligations for any previous loans or grants from the city. Programs, activities, employment opportunities, etc. of the agency which may be funded totally or partially by the City of Virginia Beach must be made available to all people, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, handicap, or politiCc'l1 affiliation. In addition, funds which may be provided by the City of Virginia Beach cannot be used to support programming or activities which advocate a particular political or religious viewpoint. E.

The appropriate city oversight department will review the IISummary of Proposed Servicesll to ensure that perfonnance measures outlined are consistent with services proposed in the grant application. If changes in agency resources or community needs require adjustments to planned objectives, these changes will be negotiated between the oversight department and the agency. The department should forward a copy of the changes to DMB. c. The oversight department will prepare a Vendor's Invoice for payment of one quarter of the total grant award when all conditions of the grant are fulfilled. In the case of small grant amounts (less than $2,500 total) payments may be made in one or two parts. These invoices are forwarded to DMB for review and signature. Then DMB forwards the invoices to the Finance Department for payment. 5 coig.gui I CITY OF VIRGINIA BEACH Community Organization Incentive Grants Guidclints and Procedures e. At the end of each quarter, DMB will send necessary reporting fonns to grant agencies. These fonns, containing both financial and perfonnance data, are to be completed by the grant agency and returned to DMB by the 20th day following the end of each quarter. A copy of the completed report should be fonvarded by the agency to the city oversight department. After review, the oversight department will complete the needed invoice and forward it to DMB. While every effort is made to process payments to agencies as quickly as possible, no payment will be guaranteed or promised to an agency in less than ten working days after receipt of the quarterly report in DMB. Incomplete reports will further delay payment processing. f. At the end of each quarter, DMB will compile perfonnance and financial data. into a quarterl)' grant report for Council. Semi-annually, the perfonnance and financial reports will be forwarded to the Review and Allocation Committee and to Council for their infonnation. g. By the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year, grant agencies must forward to DMB a copy of the agency's financial audit for the previous fiscal year. This is an additional requirement for release of the grant payment for the second quarter. (If the grant agency has a fiscal cycle other than July 1 to June 30, accommodation can be made for filing the required audit at the appropriate time.) h. In the grant monitoring process, the city oversight department is responsible for reviewing perfonnance reports of the grant agencies to detennine if services reported are in line with those known to be available to Virginia Beach residents from that agency. In addition, any concerps or complaints regarding the quality of service provided by a grant agency will be fonvarded by' DMB or the City Manager to the oversight department for review. I . I. The Department of Management and Budget is responsible for reviewing payment requests for consistency with funds allocated for a grant agency, and for ensuring that funds are not released if reporting and other grant requirements have not been fulfilled by the agency.

Kraemer, Jr. ATTACHMENT TWO Policy Report POLICY REPORT: COUNCIL POLICY ITEM 11-B ~espond to Human Needs: Family, Youth, and Individual Services - Resource Allocation: Process and structure 1. BACKGROUND This report addresses Council Policy Item 11-B and concerns the structure of the Community organization Incentive Grant (COIG) resource allocation process. since 1963, the City of Virginia has provided assistance to not-for-profit organizations which provide services to city residents. Grant funding was included in the Legislative section of the operating budget as well as from various departmental operating budgets. Agencies requested funds from the departments or from Council throughout the year with no formalized method of allocation. Beqause the system was decentralized and lacked formal procedures, the City, at any given point in time, lacked a clear picture of which agencies received grants and at what level funding was received. In FY 1985-86, Council adopted grant guidelines for agencies receiving funds from the City. The guidelines established a centralized annual application procedure, grant guidelines and procedures, and quarterly service and expenditure reports. Under the guidelines, the City Manager provided recommended levels of funding for the agencies to council as part of the Operating Budqet presentation. Council heard appeals, made adj ustments or amendments, and approved the final allocations to the various agencies. Essentially, the process has not changed since these guidelines were established. In FY 1989-90, two alternatives to the existing grant review and allocation process were discussed with\ Council at their request. The al ternati ves, based on the model of the Arts and Humanities Commission, were: - Create a committee which would review the grant applications, allocate a predetermined block of operating budget funds to the various agencies, provide for an initial appeal, and brief Council on their allocation decisions. Create a committee which would review the applications and make advisory funding recommendations prior to the adoption of the Operating Budget. Council would hear appeals, make changes, and finalize allocations as part of the Operating Budget Development. council, selecting neither option, chose to remain with the existing review and allocation process essentially as established in FY 1985-86. A goal was set of providing up to $1.00 per capita as an overall level of funding for the COIG program. During budget deliberations in the Spring of 1991, Council appointed a three member committee comprised of Council members to review alternative methods of allocating the grant funds. Recommendations from this committee were not available for development of the FY 1991-92 Operating Budget. Absent recommended changes, the allocation and review process remained unchanged. During FY 1992-93 budget deliberations, allocations to the Neptune Festival and the Lifesaving Museum were removed from the COIG program and relocated to the Department of Convention and Visitor Development and the Department of Museums respectively. The funding goal for the total COIG program was modified to $0.55 per capita. A fourteen year history of program funding levels is included as Attachment A. In August 1992 during the Council retreat, Council expressed its desire to review the grant allocation process. It is listed under the Council Priority to "Respond to Human Needs: Family, Youth, Individual Services" as "Resource Allocation: Process and structure". (Council Priority 11-B) , This policy report is a response to that Council desire to review the grant allocation process. Following is a discussion the three alternatives. A summary table of the alternatives is provided in Attachment C. 2. CONSIDERATIONS A. EXISTING GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES" The statement of purpose, eligibility criteria, and grant reporting and payment process are included in the existing Community Organization Guidelines and Procedures. Please see copy included as Attachment B. The three alternative processes proposed in this policy report are based on the assumption that the existing statement of purpose, the existing criteria for eligibility, and the existing grant reporting and payment process will not be significantly modified this point in time. B. CURRENT ACTIVITIES: Due to time constraints, the grant application process for FY 1993-94 has already begun. A public notice of availability of grant applications was published in The Beacon on October 9,1992. Applications are due back to the Department of Management and Budget (DMB) on December 11, 1992. 2 Historically, during December, DMB reviews the grants for completeness i during January and February, DMB and applicable oversight departments evaluate and rank the applications; and in March, recommendations for funding are provided to the city Manager for presentation to council as part of the operating Budget. Should Council decide to change the review and allocation process, appropriate changes can be made prior to February while staff review applications for completeness. C. KEY ISSUES: The first issue to be determined: 1. Does the Council wish to continue with a formal process of annual review and allocation linked to specific budget funding? 2. Or, does the Council wish to return to a less formal process as before FY 1985-86? The remainder of this policy report assumes a desire to continue a formal process for grant allocation. If Council desires to continue with a formal proces$, then two key issues should be addressed in deciding upon the type of process to use for allocating grant funding to not-for-profit agencies: 1. Who will review and rank applications: council appointed committee? ci ty staff or will council appropriate funds to individual agencies as part of operating Budget Process or will Council appropriate funds as block to the program with a committee allocating funds to individual agencies. These key considerations will be influenced by: The extent to which Council desires to be involved in the initial level of review. - Whether Council desires to have the opportunity to change and amend initial recommendations prior to determining a total amount of funding. - The extent to which equal assess is provided to agencies desiring a grant. - The increased sensitivity of grant allocations since total funding levels have decreased while requests have increased. - The increased amount of time required by council to provide agencies an appeal to allocation decisions. 2 . PUBLIC INFORMATION Should Council change or revise the existing process, a notice will be sent to all applicant agencies for FY 1993-94 indicating that the process and ranking procedure have been changed. They will be informed of any additional information necessary and of any other changes in the criteria for ranking. For FY 1994-95, changes in the process will be incorporated into the advertising and application process 3. 3 ALTERNATIVE COURSES OF ACTION Following are three al ternati ves processes for allocating grant funds to not-for-profit agencies. Again, the alternatives are based on the assumptions that the (1) statement of purpose, (2) eligibility criteria, and (3) grant reporting and payment procedures as stated in the existing COIG Guidelines and Procedures are acceptable (see Attachment B). Revised guidelines and procedures as well as the necessary ordinances will be prepared upon Council direction. Changes from the existing process are indicated in the text using italic lettering to distinguish pertinent modifications from one option to the next option. Again, each of the three alternatives is summarized in Attachment C. 4. OPTION A: EXISTING SYSTEM The current system is centralized within the Department of Management and Budget. DMB reviews and ranks the applications, the City Manager provides initial funding recommendations for applicant agencies to Council as part of the Operating Budget presentation, and Council incorporates the recommendations into Council's review, hearing, and decision process. The existing process is detailed in the attached COIG Guidelines and Procedures (see Attachment B). Application: - Public notice of availability of grant applications placed in the media in October. - Applications completed and returned to the DMB. - Copies of the applications forwarded to appropriate city . I . overslght agencles. Application Review: - Applications reviewed and ranked by departmental staff with input from appropriate city agencies. Fundinq Recommendations: - Funding levels for each applicant agency recommended by city Manager as part of Operating Budget. - Applicant agencies informed of proposed funding levels when recommendations provided to Council. Council Action: - Appeals heard by Council during public hearing on operating Budget. - Allocations to agencies appropriated by Council as part of Operating Budget. Grant Award: . - Letters announcing the final grant amount for each applicant agency sent to all applicants by City Manager after approval of Operating Budget but not later than July 1 of each year. 4 Advantages: - Maintains direct council control of allocations. - Process is more efficient than decentralized process or multi-step process. - Funding levels established by Council/City Manager in overall context of Operating Budget. Disadvantages: - Appeals heard by Council during public hearings thereby limiting Council's ability to focus on issues related specifically to the applicant agencies. - Disproportionate amount of public hearing time may be consumed by appeals. - Council has limited input in making recommendations, reviewing applications, and evaluating agencies. - staff may not be fully knowledgeable of non-profit human service agency needs. OPTION B: ADVISORY REVIEW COMMITTEE An Advisory Review Committee appointed by Council, working with the support, as needed, of the Department of Management and Budget, would review all applications and recommend to Council funding levels for each applicant agency. The committee could be comprised of all Council appointees, a combination of city staff and council appointees, or an existing external agency such as the united Way or Virginia Beach Foundation. For example, the proposal presented to Council in FY 1989-90 recommended a five member commission comprised of three city staff members, one citizen-at-large, and one united Way designee. Application: - Public notice of availability of grant applications placed in the media by the Committee in October. - Applications completed and returned to the DMB. - Applications reviewed by DMB for completeness. - Copies of the applications provided by DMB to appropriate ci ty agencies for their comments and to Advisory Review Committee members for review. Application Review: Applications reviewed by commi ttee prior to the first committee meeting. - Questions concerning applications directed toward DMB for contact with the agency, if appropriate. - Applicants which do not appear to meet the minimum criteria set aside for special questioning by Committee. - Procedures for reviewing applications established by committee prior to discussion of applications. - standards for scheduling interviews, ranking applications, and distributing resources established by committee prior to discussion of applications. - Reviews and interviews of the applications should be completed by February ~5. 5 Funding Recommendations: - Committee provided wi th, by end of November, proposed funding level for the total COIG prograJll to be recommended by the City Manager to Council. - Recommended funding levels for each of the various applicant agencies will be decided by the committee based on the criteria established during the previous commission meetings and subsequent review. Recommendations may represent all, none, or a portion of a given grant request but the total of all awards cannot exceed ci ty Manager proposed funding level. - Report of recommendations indicating amount of request and amount granted for each applicant agency compiled and forwarded to the Council for final action as part of the Proposed operating Budget. - Applicants notified of proposed funding levels upon report of recommendations being forwarded to the Council and City Manager. council Action: - Appeals heard by Council during public hearing on operating Budget. - Allocations to agencies appropriated by Council as part of Operating Budget based on committee recommendations as modified by Council. Grant Award: - Letters announcing the final grant amount for each agency sent to all applicants by City Manager after approval of operating Budget but not later than July 1 of each year. Advantages: - Committee could include community representatives who have knowledge of community needs. - Committee could include members with expertise in not-for- profit management, organization, and needs. - Committee able to meet with applicant agencies during review process to ensure equal access for all agencies and informed decision by committee. - Could reduce amount of time required at public hearings to hear applicant appeals. - Council responsible for final allocations. Disadvantaqes: - All appeals heard by Council. - Committee process could be undermined by outside of allocation process. - Additional step added to the process. Council allocation 6 OPTION C: REVIEW AND ALLOCATION COMMITTEE Council would appropriate a block of funds to be granted to not-for-profi t agencies. The Review and Allocation Committee, working with the support, as needed, of the Department of Management and Budget, would review all applications and determine allocations to be made to each agency. Again, the composition of the committee could be vary in membership: fully council appointed, a combination of city staff and council appointees, or existing external agency such as the united Way or Virginia Beach Foundation. Application: - Public notice of availability of grant applications placed in the media by the Committee in September. - Applications completed and returned to the DMB. - Applications reviewed by DMB for completeness. - Copies of the applications provided by DMB to appropriate city agencies for their comments and to Allocation Review Committee members for review. ApPlication Review: - Applications reviewed by committee prior to the first committee meeting. - Questions concerning applications directed toward DMB for contact with the agency, if appropriate. - Applicants which do not appear to meet the minimum criteria set aside for special questioning by Committee. - Procedures for reviewing applications established by committee prior to an to discussion of applications. - standards for scheduling interviews, ranking applications, and distributing resources established by committee prior to discussion of applications. - Reviews and interviews of the applications should be completed prior to March 32. Funding Recommendations: - By end of November, committee provided wi th proposed funding level for the total program to be recommended by the City Manager to Council. Preliminary funding levels for each of the various applicant agencies will be decided by the committee based on the criteria established during the previous commission meetings and subsequent review. Preliminary funding levels may represent all, none, or a portion of a given grant request but the total of all awards cannot exceed the City Manager proposed funding level. - Report of preliminary funding levels indicating amount of request and amount granted for each applicant agency would be compiled and forwarded to the ci ty Manager for his information - Applicant agencies will be notified by the Commi 1;1;ee of their preliminary funding levels prior to March 32. - Additional interviews scheduled for applicant who desire to appeal proposed funding recommendation to the Committee. Council Action: - A block of funding for the total COIG program appropriated by Council as part of the Operating Budget. 7 . . Grant Award: Specific final funding allocations to agencies determined by Committee after Council appropriation of a block of funds for COIG. - Allocations by Committee based on the criteria established during the previous commission meeting and subsequent application review. - A report of allocations indicating amount of request and amount granted for each applicant compiled and forwarded to 'the City Manager and Council for their information. Advantaqes: - Review and allocation process similar to that of Arts and Humanities commission. - Committee provides for initial level of appeal for agencies thereby alleviating Council workload during Public Hearing process. - Council establishes funding policy level and broad guidelines for CorG. - Committee could include community representatives who have knowledge of community needs. - Committee could include members with expertise in not-for- profit management, organization, and needs. - Committee able to meet with appl icant agencies during review process to ensure equal access for all agencies and informed decision by committee. I - Centralized application and monitoring process. Disadvantages: - council would be delegating authority for final individual agency allocations. - May limit direct appeals to Council by concerned agencies. - Agencies notified of final funding allocation late in the year perhaps making their budget planning more difficult. 8 RECOMMENDATIONS: The recommended type of review is that of an Allocation Review Committee (Option C) where Council appropriates a block of funds which are then allocated to the specific agencies by the Allocation Review Committee. This option will allow for the best use of Council time by allowing Council to make broad funding policies for the program without having to become involved in the detailed allocations to individual agencies. Further, this option will alleviate the burden of having to make allocation decisions in the absence of detailed knowledge of the application information. While critical to the individual agencies, the final allocations provided to the individual agencies are a relatively small amount of the total Operating Budget. It is recommended that Council appoint an existing outside agency, such as the united Way or the Virginia Beach Foundation, to act as the Review and Allocation Committee. However, this option needs further research should Council desire to pursue it. The alternative recommendation, would be to have a committee comprised of citizens at large, a representative from the united Way and the Virginia Beach Foundation, and City Staff. A possible format is that which is similar that proposed in the report provided to Council in FY 1988-89. The Committee would have five members: 1. ci tizen-at-Large , selected by the Mayor and confirmed by the council. This member shall serve as the chair person for the Commission. The Director of Public Health or Qualified Designee. A representative from the Virginia Beach Foundation. A designee from the United Way of Hampton Roads who has demonstrable expertise in working with not-for-profi t agencies and/or grant fund allocation. A member of an existing City advisory board, such as the Library Board, who can represent a cross section of the citizen interests in the city. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Statement or Purpose The City recognizes that not-Cor-profit organizations fill an imporumt place in the spectrum of service delivery alternatives in a community. To encourage not-Cor-profit organizations to provide services to both residents and visitors to Virginia Beach, the city has established a system to award monetary grants to qualified not-for-profit organizations. These grants are intended to: 1. Provide "last resort" capital or operating budget support to not-for-profit agencies which provide service to residents or visitors to the city, or which improve the general quality of life in the city through various pro- grams. "Last resort" implies that all other sources of funding have been explored and exhausted. 2. Supplement (not supplant) funding from other sources available to not-for-profit organizations up to thirty-five percent (35%) of the total budget of the program for which funds are sought. 3. Be limited in size to encourage the not-for-profits to seek alternative resources of funds, donated materials, and volunteer labor. 4. Encourage the not-for-profit organizations to provide services which meet specific needs of Virginia Beach residents or visitors, and which complement services provided by city departments or by the private sector. s. Relate specifically to measurable levels of service provided to residents or visitors to the city. 6. Promote program accountability through monitoring and reporting of services provided. In that these grants are incentives to foster new services in the city, a goal of the process is to encourage community support for programs so that, over time, city funds can be supplanted with funds from other sources. This will allow city funds to be directed towards new programs in the future. IDEALLY, ALL COIG FUNDS FOR ^ GIVEN PROGRAM WILL BE PHASED OUT OVER A FIVE YEAR DEVELOPMENTAL PERIOD. Extensions of this five year period may be required for agencies with a long dependence upon city grant funding. . I B. History or City Grants The City of Virginia Beach has provided assistance to not-for-profit OI-gnnizations which provide services to city residents since 1963. Over time, both the number of agencies requesting such assistnnce and the amount of funding provided for assistance has increased substantially. A grant review nnd reporting process was initiated in FY 85-86 to provide criteria for allocation of funds to agencies and to monitor services provided during a given funding period. Data collected from the quarterly reports submitted by the agencies are used to compile a quarterly grant report for the City Council. The growth in the number of applications for grants, the competition among agencies providing similar or duplicate services, the diversity and complexity of the applications, the service needs of the city which could be addressed by the not-Cor-profit sector, and the increase in grant Cunding have created a need for formalized guidelines for review of applications. These guidelines will be used by stafT to provide initial screening of applications and to Cormulate funding recommendations for Council review and action. "" C. Objectives of the Process The Community Organization Incentive Grant Allocation Guidelines should provide for a fair and reasonable allocation of funding to qualified applicants. Funding available for such allocation is determined by an annually es- tablished formula not to exceed one dollar per capita for the general city population. The population estimateto be used in this Connula will be the City's Department of Planning estimate for January 1 of the calendar year during which allocations are being made (e.g., January 1, 1993 Cor allocation of Cunds to be provided in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1993). coig.gui 1 ATTACHMENT ß . . CITY 0 F VIRGINIA n FA en Community Organization Incentive Grants Guidelines and Procedures The procedures to fulfill this allocation process are intended to meet the following minimum objectives: 1. Annually distribute funds within the Non.DepartmenUlI - Grants portion of the Approved Operating Budget in a fair and reasonable manner to qualified agencies which will provide the most effective and efficient services to residents of Virginia Beach or visitors to the city. 2. Provide a grant fund distribution process which is a part of the operating budget process, and which provides for Council approval of grant levels for each applicant agency. 3. Ensure control and monitoring of grants awarded throughout the fiscal year for which funding is provided, including mandatory grantee reporting. 4. Ensure that each grant recipient complies with grant requirements by having the appropriate city agency be responsible for monitoring the grantee agency programs. D. Agency Eligibility Cor Community Organization Incentive Grant An agency is eligible to apply for a Community Organization Incentive Grant (COIG) from the City of Virginia Beach if it meets the following minimum criteria: I 1. The agency must be a not-for-profit organization meeting the requirements of such an organization in the State of Virginia and under federal IRS guidelines. 2. The agency must provide significant, measurable service to residents of Virginia Beach or visitors to the city OR it must demonstrably improve the general quality of life in the city. 3. The agency cannot receive grants of monies from other resources available to the city for allocation and cannot have permanent City of Virginia Beach employees involved in the COIG grant application or reporting process.

However, grant funds will not be provided to support the same services or costs which are provided under contract to the city. 4. The agency cannot be eligible to apply for a grant through the City of Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission. (fhose agencies currently funded under the COIG program but which are eligible for Arts and Humanities grants are specifically "grandfathered" from this criterion.

The agency must have fulfilled all reporting, auditing, and payment obligations for any previous loans or grants from the city. 6.
