Commission discusses CDBG grant amendment to add $300,000 for roof work; item tabled for further review
Summary
Staff described a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) amendment adding $300,000—$291,000 for construction and $9,000 for engineering—bringing a project total discussed as $886,881. Commissioners opted to table the item to a future meeting for additional review and clarification.
City staff described a proposed amendment to a previously awarded CDBG grant to add roughly $300,000 for roof work on city facilities. Staff said the addition would allocate $291,000 to construction and $9,000 to engineering, increasing leveraged local funds to about $36,881 and putting the total discussed project cost at $886,881.
Staff described this item as an amendment to an existing grant agreement. Commissioners and staff discussed the intended uses: replacement/repair of building roofs (the airport, police department and the convention center were all mentioned). Staff said plans were 100% complete for certain work and that insurance payouts and cost-estimates still needed coordination.
A commissioner moved to table the item to the next city commission meeting so staff could follow up; the motion to table was made during the meeting and recorded in the transcript. Staff advised that once the amendment is formally accepted and state contract documents completed the city will proceed to contract approval and bidding.
Staff also discussed prior grant awards: the city had originally received $500,000 on the project and the new $300,000 would make the overall grant total $800,000 before leveraging; staff specified that the additional funds brought the total project cost to $886,881 after local leverage.
Provenance (transcript evidence): discussion of the grant amendment and dollar split appears beginning approximately at 652.33 seconds and continues through segments ending near 811.395 seconds. The motion to table is recorded near 877.86 seconds.
