Body
BACKGROUND:  On May 22, 2012 City Council authorized the submittal of an Emergency Solutions Grant for Salvation Army, Inc.  As noted in the previous agenda item, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce (ODOC) awarded a $100,000 grant to the City of Norman for Salvation Army, Inc. to be used for costs of operation, homeless prevention and rapid re-housing activities.  Contract K-1213-146 between the City of Norman and Salvation Army, Inc. formalizes that funding pass through.
