the amount of $500,000 and for tree planning and beautification in the amount of $100,000.
Included in the implementation policies of these grants is the requirement to utilize youth
employment for a portion of the project or ongoing operation of any project or facility that has
received Proposition A funding. The Youth Employment Plans associated with these two
grant awards are presented for approval.
