                 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA



  Agenda Date:         November 15, 2021

  Action Required:     Appropriation of Funding

  Presenter:           Krisy Hammill, Senior Budget and Management Analyst

  Title:               Appropriation of additional $250,000 contribution from
                       Charlottesville City Schools to the School Small Cap Funded
                       Program (SC-003) for School Security Projects


Background:

The City of Charlottesville has received an additional contribution from Charlottesville City
Schools to the Schools Small Cap Funded Program in the amount of $250,000 to support School
Security Projects.


Discussion:

Once appropriated, the funds will be expensed from the Schools Small Cap Program in Fund
426. Charlottesville City Schools may be reimbursed from the state grant program for related
equipment but projects must be initiated in the summer and grant awards are not known until late
fall. If grant funds are awarded, the additional $250,000 contribution from Charlottesville City
Schools to the Schools Small Cap Program satisfy the local match requirements and subsequent
system maintenance/replacement.

Alignment with City Council’s Vision and Strategic Plan:

This request supports City Council’s “A Center for Lifelong Learning” vision. It contributes to
Goal 2 of the Strategic Plan, to be a safe, equitable, thriving and beautiful community, and
objective 2.1, to reduce adverse impact from sudden injury and illness and the effects of chronic
disease.

Community Engagement:

N/A
Budgetary Impact:

This has no impact on the General Fund.


Recommendation:

Staff recommends approval and appropriation of the additional funds.


Alternatives:
If funds are not appropriated, the related School Security projects may not move forward in a
timely manner which would hinder the Schools’ eligibility to receive the potential
reimbursement from the state.
