There is hereby created the Citizens' Funding Review Committee, which shall provide funding recommendations for all groups not falling within those groups defined under Article V of this chapter. The Citizens' Funding Review Committee shall advise the Mayor and Common Council on annual City appropriations.
The Committee shall consist of 13 members: five shall be appointed
by the Mayor; six shall be appointed by the Common Council; and two
shall be appointed by the Comptroller. The terms of such members shall
be three years, except for the initial appointments, which shall be
as follows: two appointees each of the Mayor and Council and one appointee
of the Comptroller shall be designated to serve for two years; and
two appointees each of the Mayor and Council and one appointee of
the Comptroller shall be designated to serve for one year. The Chairman
of the Committee shall be appointed by the Committee, from its membership,
on an annual basis.
Appointments to the Committee shall, to the greatest extent
possible, be made in accordance with experience and qualifications
in areas of public funding, public finance and knowledge of and experience
in dealing with community service organizations.
A.
Application. On or before February 1 of each year, applications for
funding, on forms approved by and supplied by the Department of Administration
and Finance, shall be submitted to the office of the City Clerk, who
shall forward them to the Chairman of the Committee, who shall place
them on the agenda of the Committee.
B.
Criteria for review of application. The Committee shall review and
evaluate the applications submitted in accordance with the following
criteria: service provided to the public by the applicant, enhancement
of the financial and social welfare of the recipients of aid from
the applicant and total funding from other sources, both private and
public, provided to the applicant. However, no applicant shall be
considered eligible for a favorable recommendation unless such applicant
organization is a not-for-profit corporation pursuant to Section 501(c)(3)
of the Internal Revenue Code or a charitable organization registered
with the New York Department of State in accordance with § 172
of the Executive Law. Each such organization must either be headquartered
within the City of Buffalo or be shown to provide its services to
residents of the City of Buffalo and shall be open to the general
public and must not discriminate, in service or membership, on the
basis of race, creed, religion, national origin, age or gender. Each
applicant shall also agree to an annual audit of funds received as
a precondition to favorable recommendation.
C.
Recommendation. On or before April 1 of each year, the Committee
shall transmit its recommendations, with or without comment, to the
Mayor, the Commissioner of Administration and Finance and the Common
Council.
