DISCUSSION
On June 4, 2012, the Department of Development Services was awarded a Community Benefit Grant in the amount of $15,000 from Kaiser Permanente (Kaiser).

The Kaiser grant funding will be used for further development of the City’s VPP, specifically to conduct a community survey that complements the overall VPP workplan. With the support of these Community Benefit Grant funds, the survey will provide an in-depth look at the needs and perceptions of community residents as they relate to safety at parks and schools.
