is responsible for day to day agency finances and maintenance of our QuickBooks accounting system. Our <br /> 2016/17 Treasurer is Amy Knutson. <br /> The revenue to support our programs is derived from a number of sources. These include individual <br /> contributions, special funding events, grants, and our excellent Thrift Store. This year our volunteer-staffed <br /> Thrift Store will generate about 56%of agency revenue. <br /> B. National Objectives <br /> The Subgrantee certifies that the activities carried out with funds provided under this Agreement will <br /> meet one or more of the following CDBG National Objectives - 1) benefit low/moderate income <br /> persons, 2) aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight or, 3) meet community development <br /> needs having a particular urgency - as defined in 24 CFR Part 570.208. Briefly describe how this <br /> National Objective will be met. <br /> Operation School Bell meets objective#1 as it is of great benefit to low and moderate income children and <br /> families. New school clothing is expensive and competes in the family budget with other necessities like rent, <br /> utilities, food, and medical care. By providing new school clothing to low-income children we relieve <br /> significant economic stress and raise the self-esteem of both children and parents. The program also protects <br /> the physical health of young children because we provide warm coats and other cold weather clothing. Without <br /> the winter clothing we provide many of these children would go to school wet and cold or simply stay home <br /> because they did not have coats and shoes for school. <br /> C. Performance Monitoring <br /> The City will monitor the performance of the Subgrantee against goals and performance standards <br /> required herein. Substandard performance as determined by the City will constitute non-compliance <br /> with this Agreement. If action to correct such substandard performance is not taken by the <br /> Subgrantee within a reasonable period of time after being notified by the City, contract suspension or <br /> termination procedures will be initiated. <br /> B-2 <br />
