What: a council contingency fund match for funds raised at the Community Chili Cook-Off, which are turned over to St. Vincent de Paul to help residents with utility bills.
Where it stands: on October 14 the committee amended the item from up to $5,000 to up to $10,000 and it carried by voice vote (from captions).
Next: full Council action, if not already taken.
Details
The effort began in 2025: about $3,000 raised in spring and about $2,000 that fall; this spring over $10,000 raised and matched with $10,000 from council, $20,000 in total.
All funds go to St. Vincent de Paul rather than being allocated by the City.
