3.19 21-0300 Subject: Oakland Parks And Recreation Foundation Grant Agreement
From: Office Of The City Administrator
Recommendation: Adopt A Resolution Awarding A Grant Agreement To Oakland Parks And Recreation Foundation In An Amount Not To Exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) To Promote Community Preparedness Activities Using California Office Of Emergency Services Grant Funding; On The May 18, 2021 City Council Agenda On Consent
My name is Matt Van Norton and I work for the Oakland Athletics. I am a current reside of District 2 since 2016.
For Black History Month, I had a great opportunity to work with the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation to execute an event called Celebration of Activism with other Bay Area Professional Sport Teams.
As an event planner with the Newton Foundation, I learned more about the grant application process for Parks and Recreation. The Newton Foundation would love to establish a museum and welcome center in the Lake Merritt Area to share the rich African American history and heritage founded in Oakland.
I support the Parks and Recreation Foundation Grant Agreement to stay under $100,000 but to establish a great system of reporting to see if extended funding needs to be allocated in the future.
