Requested Agenda Title: Legislative Intent to establish additional criteria for evaluating funding requests from the Community Councils.
Requested Agenda Item Description:
1) Consistent with County ordinance, requests for contributions by a community council should be made in writing to the Council, with a copy to the Mayor, prior to September 30th of each year so that they might be considered as a part of the County's budget process, as well as the budget process for the Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District. A link to the funding application will be provided to each community council.
2) As a part of the community council's funding request, it should provide a copy of its most recently approved budget, which shall contain all of the following information: statements from all applicable bank accounts maintained by the community council; a proposal describing in detail how the community council intends to spend contributions received from Salt Lake County for public purposes; documentation that the budget was reviewed and approved by the community council's designated budgetary authority; and, within ninety days following the close of the community council's fiscal period, a detailed financial statement setting out community council revenues and expenditures during that fiscal period.
