Acceptance of the Bloomberg Philanthropies i-Team Grant in an amount not to exceed $2,550,000 and approval of grant-related actions will result in the establishment of the LA i-Team to improve the capacity of this City to develop and implement solutions to some of the City's highest priority problems. The City’s Financial Policies require that the City pursue federal, state and private grants but strictly limit financial support of these programs to avoid commitments that continue beyond available funding. Since these costs are fully reimbursable by the grant, there is no net impact to the General Fund. The recommendations above comply with City Financial Policies in that the proposed funding is balanced against established revenue approved by Council actions and from federal, state and private grants. All funding is subject to the availability of grant funds and determinations by Mayor and Council.

Community Impact Statement: None submitted.
