Council approves $7,500 in opioid-fund grants and $14,250 in invoices
Summary
Saint Albans City Council authorized payment of current invoices totaling $14,250.01 and approved opioid-fund donations of $2,500 to Star Club and $5,000 to Hezekiah House.
Councilman Rowe moved and the council approved payment of current invoices totaling $14,250.01. The council approved the motion by voice vote.
Council members then approved two grants from the city's opioid funds: $2,500 to Star Club and $5,000 to Hezekiah House. "Star Club is a phenomenal after-school program" a council member said, noting the program serves at-risk students, provides snacks, homework help and operates some days until about 6:30 p.m. The council voted to pay both grants from the city's opioid-fund account; both motions were seconded and passed by voice vote.
Council members described Hezekiah House as a small residential program created by local church leaders; in the meeting a council member said the facility houses roughly six to eight residents at a time and that council members had toured the facility. The council did not record an itemized budget for the grants in the meeting record.
All three motions were approved by voice vote; the meeting record does not include a roll-call or numeric vote tally.
