The resolution eliminating the individual City Council funding recommendation portion of the SECA grant process is on the February 20, 2024 City Council agenda (File #24-0201 <https://naperville.legistar.com/MeetingDetail.aspx?ID=1141550&GUID=4CCA64C1-5C43-44E0-B642-C607F3FFD796&Options=info|&Search=>) for approval.
If approved, the City Council will still retain final allocation authority of the SECA grant but will no longer review applications or individually recommend funding prior to approval.
