The Cypress City Council faces a full agenda that includes the new park at Lexington Ave. and Cerritos Ave., City grants to local non-profits, and three items requested by Councilwoman Frances Marquez in addition to the usual consent calendar and updates of ongoing projects.
Item 14 regarding the new park brings back a discussion of what the park will be named because construction on the park now requires it. According to the staff report:
Item 15 provides the Council an opportunity to discuss and approve two different sorts of grants in support of local non-profits: first, the regular biannual grants to local non-profits through the Recreation and Community Services Department; and, second, emergency grants to help non-profits that have been hit hard by the effects of COVID-19 and State-imposed restrictions.
The staff report provides a summary:
As part of the FY 2021-22 and 2022-23 Non-Profit Contribution Program, City Council approved a COVID-19 Emergency Support initiative to provide direct support for local, partner non-profit organizations. The support allocated for the initiative was $300,000 and seven organizations submitted applications requesting more than $550,000 in support.
