Chicots, Director, Community Development _ Louis Morales, Associate Planner SUBJECT: PROPOSED CONSULTANT FOR GRANT WRITING . • Purpose: - To inform the Agency on the potential to solicit variousgrants offered both at the State . -arid Federal level and the option to engage in a contract with a consulting firm with. expertise in the grant writing. process .who could pursue the securing of offered grants on - " behalf of the.

Given that -such - ~~ _• ~ fee.for service was riot contemplated or provided for under FY 97-98, it would be . necessary for the Agency to consider a Budget Amendment and allocate the funds " necessary to hire and pay for a consultants service ~to perform the requisite. work to secure ' such grants on behalfof the Agency.or City. ;Some grarits will be pursued byahe Agency requiring an Agency budget amendment a5 .., mentioned above.
