Grant program for West Hollywood sports leagues and clubs

Summary

Queer sports clubs that use city name and nightlife but play outside city limits (Fairfax High fields, anyone?) asked for steady city funding instead of one-off requests. The council said yes in principle and told staff to design eligibility rules — and consider raising the pot from $15,000 to $30,000.
