title
AN ORDINANCE relating to the Neighborhood Matching Fund Program; establishing new program guidelines and an automatic carry-forward policy.
body
WHEREAS, Resolution 27709 and Ordinance 113750 first established the Neighborhood Matching Fund (NMF) Program more than 30 years ago; and
WHEREAS, the NMF Program has provided funding support for more than 5,000 community projects across the City of Seattle; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has periodically taken legislative action to amend the NMF Program's policy and programmatic framework; and
WHEREAS, the NMF Program's guidelines were last amended by Resolution 28835; and
WHEREAS, the implementation timelines for NMF-funded projects do not always align with a calendar year; and
WHEREAS, year-end carry forward of unexpended appropriations for NMF-funded community projects is subject to legislative approval, which can create uncertainty for community groups receiving NMF support for their activities; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEATTLE, THE MAYOR CONCURRING, THAT:
Section 1. Attachment A to this ordinance, "Neighborhood Matching Fund Guidelines," is adopted, replacing prior versions of Neighborhood Matching Fund guidelines.
Section 2. Appropriations by the Neighborhood Matching Fund Program for community projects shall not lapse and shall automatically carry forward each year until fully expended, abandoned, or reappropriated for other authorized activities. However, appropriations for the Management and Project Development program within the Neighborhood Matching Fund shall not be carried forward.

Section 3. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force 30 days after its approval by the Mayor, but if not approved and returned by the Mayor within ten days after presentation, it shall take effect as provided by Seattle Municipal Code Section 1.04.020.
