RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Measure X Phase I Innovation Fund awards in the amount of $5,000 to each of the eight applicants listed on Attachment 1 and DIRECT the County Administrator to execute grant contracts with each applicant, with awards conditioned upon applicants submitting a Phase II Innovation Fund proposal.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $2,000,000 Innovation Fund derives from a one-time allocation of Measure X sales tax revenue. Recommended Phase I grants, if approved, will reduce the fund by $40,000, leaving a balance of $1,960,000 for Phase II allocation.
