INITIATED BY: John D. Fitch, Assistant City Manager err

DATE: August 22, 1995
SUBJECT: Evaluation of a Community Contribution Request
from the Friends of Blue Sky Canyon
BACKGROUND
On July 27, 1995, the City received a letter from the Friends of
Blue Sky Canyon requesting a donation of $1,200 to fund a start-
up library for the Blue Sky Ecological Reserve.
FINDINGS
The Department of Fish and Game has requested the return of
resource materials currently being used by volunteers and the
staff interpretive specialist at Blue Sky. The library is used
to plan programs and to enhance nature hikes. Additionally, the
reference materials are used to prepare supplemental curriculum
for poway schools. The loss of these books is seen as a major
setback to the diverse nature programs offered at Blue Sky.
The Friends of Blue Sky Canyon have requested that the City
Council donate $1,200 for materials. Based upon the criteria set
forth in the City's Community Contributions Policy for
Educational and Non-profit Programs, which is provided in
Attachment B, the Friends of Blue Sky Canyon are eligible to
receive a contribution from the City for this one-time
educational expense.
