This request is to appropriate the amount of$7,030 to support this program in 2006/2007 and authorize the transfer of appropriations totaling$3,515,from the Recreation Fund 2006 operating budget to grant project budget, representing the required 2006 matching dollars.

BACKGROUND The Recreation Division staff received a $7,030 grant from the Colorado Council on the Arts to provide a break-even scenario for the Youth Pottery Program. The Youth Pottery Program offers November 7, 2006 -2- Item No. 16 students from tots to teens the opportunity to experiment in clay and explore self expression. Over 340 youths have participated in pottery classes in the past year and staff will be able to expand access to quality arts education for all young people in the community with this grant support.
