FROM: Ben Luedtke
Budget & Policy Analyst

RE: American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Local Nonprofit Passthrough Assistance Grant
Awards
MOTION 1 – ADOPT ORDINANCE APPROVING GRANT AWARDS
I move that the Council adopt an ordinance approving American Rescue Plan Act local nonprofit
passthrough assistance grant awards as shown in the Exhibit B Funding Log.
Staff note: the Exhibit B funding log rounds grant awards to the nearest $100 which is a best practice
recommended by the Finance Department and requested by the Council. The original recommended
grant awards did not round the dollar amounts.
MOTION 2 – NOT ADOPT
I move that the Council proceed to the next agenda item.

DiscoveryGateway seeks to hire multiple community artists to showcase the rich and diverse population in Utah to create new murals for the museum. Through
our many special events throughout the year, we also hire several guest performers and artists. Just this past year during our World Connection Day we had 5
separate groups of artists and performers for this one event. In addition to the community artists and performers that DGCM supports, we also have our full-
time Art Instructor that teaches kids in the Art Studio of the museum.
