FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: JANUARY 7, 2025
SUBJECT: 6 STONES COMMUNITY POWERED REVITALIZATION GRANT
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider an annual grant to 6 Stones Community Powered
Revitalization.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund for an amount not to exceed
$30,000.
BACKGROUND: Each year, the City provides a grant of $30,000 to 6 Stones who, in turn,
organizes and manages two Community Powered Revitalization blitz
weekends per year. In 2024, they helped coordinate exterior repairs and
clean up on seven homes in Grapevine. Many Grapevine churches and
civic groups participate in these projects.
To qualify, residents must be homeowners, they must be at least 62 years
old, a veteran or spouse of a veteran, single parent head of household
with minor children, or have a disability and income limitations. The 6
Stones organization coordinates volunteer groups who perform exterior
improvements to homes and yards. It is unlikely this work would be
completed without their outside assistance. This work often results in
additional improvements being completed in the neighborhood which
could ultimately increase neighborhood property values.
Staff recommends approval.
