activities of our many philanthropic programs and ensures that there is no duplication of labor and <br /> that agency resources are allocated where they can be most efficiently and effectively utilized. Our <br /> elected governing Board also includes a Treasurer who is responsible for day to day agency <br /> finances and maintenance of our QuickBooks accounting system. Our 2017-2018 Treasurer is <br /> Amy Knutson. <br /> The revenue to support our programs is derived from a number of sources. These include <br /> individual contributions, special funding events, grants, and our excellent Thrift Shop. This year <br /> our volunteer-staffed Thrift Shop 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 <br /> children and families. New school clothing is expensive and competes in the family budget with <br /> other necessities like rent, utilities, food and medical care. By providing new school clothing to low- <br /> income children we relieve significant economic stress and raise the self-esteem of both children and <br /> parents. The program also protects the physical health of young children because we provide warm <br /> coats and other cold weather clothing. Without the winter clothing we provide many of these children <br /> would go to school wet and cold or simply stay home because they did not have coats and shoes for <br /> 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 /> A-2 <br />
