# 08.19.2026 Supplemental Benefits Fund Special Meeting

The City of Oroville Supplemental Benefits Fund (SBF) special meeting, identified in the title as August 19, 2026 (the meeting metadata lists August 20), discussed the process and funding for the second 2026 Notice of Funds Available (NOFA). Staff reported that $483,571.92 was available after accounting for encumbered grants and estimated administrative costs, including a $200,000 receivable from DWR. The committee approved a motion, 4 yes and 1 absent, to release a NOFA offering up to $450,000 across all eight eligible categories, without category-specific caps. Applicants must provide a $5,000 match, which may include in-kind contributions; grants are reimbursement-based, so applicants must incur expenses before receiving funds. No project awards or vendor selections were made at this meeting.

Staff described the NOFA’s public-notice and application process, including publication on the city website and legal notices in the Oroville Mercury Register. The tentative schedule calls for release by August 24, notices on August 29 and September 5, an optional applicant workshop on September 16, and presentations and committee decisions at the October 28 quarterly meeting. Staff anticipated notifying applicants October 29 and preparing contracts for approved awards by November 4. The committee also approved the consent calendar, 4 yes and 1 absent; the transcript does not specify its contents.
