Authorize City Manager to Apply for a Community Grant from Wal-Mart
July 06, 2016
Larry Rooney, Fire Chief
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Authorize the City Manager to apply for a community grant
from Wal-Mart.
In a continuous effort to support the communities in which
they do business, Wal-Mart offers community grants in the
form of in-kind and cash. Wal-Mart globally gave
$1.4 billion in cash and in-kind contributions in 2015. This
was achieved one grant and one community at a time.
Because we are not a non-profit organization and have not been recipients of a grant in the
past, the grant process requires the City of Lodi to produce an affidavit indicating we are in fact
a City in the State of California. The donation (unknown amount) will be received the morning of
its Lodi grand opening on July 13, 2016. The money will be used to further the renovations of
the Santa Truck and purchase additional Vial of Life packets. The Vial of Life is a program that
allows people to document vital medical information for use by emergency medical providers in
the event they are unable to communicate.
FISCAL IMPACT: Acceptance of these grant funds will assist us in public
relations/outreach as well as emergency medical delivery.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
APPROVED:
The Santa Truck is funded through donations which
provide relief to our budget. The Vial of Life program would
cost us approximately $200 for Fi; cal Year 2016/17.
