Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On September 9, 2023 (Legistar 23-1707), the Board approved the $2,500 community funding request for the Boy Scouts of America AdventureFest Recruitment event, which was being held by Troops 645 and 454 from El Dorado Hills and 460 B and 460 G from Diamond Springs.
It was later discovered that Boy Scouts Troop 645 could not receive the funding directly. This is because Troop 645 is a charter organization of the Lakeview Parent PTO. The original application, which was approved by the Board, did not indicate the charter organization as the payee. As a result, the Board needs to re-approve the application with the updated payee information of Lakeview PTO.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the funding request, and no funding would be provided in support of these efforts.
