Short Title:
Resolution to designate 30%of summer camp and after-school program slots to residents from the
Choice Grant Nile Gardens Neighborhood Initiative as a leverage match totaling$39,240 per year.
Staff Summary:
There are approximately 2000 children residing in the Garden Apartments. This does not account for all children
residing within the Choice Neighborhood Initiative area. We estimate out of the 15,219 residents citywide,we
must designate at least 30%of the slots for summer camp and after school programs for Nile Gardens residents.
Currently,the city has about 200 students in the summer program and about 35-40 students in our after school
program. Thereby dedicating at least 60 students for the summer camp program and 12 students for the after-
school program that reside in the Nile Gardens area. These numbers represent 30%of after school and summer
camp resources the city will expend in the Choice Neighborhood Initiative area totaling$39,240.
