Grandview staff asks council to increase SHPO grant request to fund historic study
Summary
Staff informed the council that State Historic Preservation Office reviewers advised the city to seek a larger grant; staff requested amending the city resolution to seek $30,000 to complete a preservation study. The transcript does not record a formal vote on the amendment.
A city staff member told the Grandview City Council that reviewers at the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) responded to the city’s pre-application by indicating the preservation study would likely cost more than the $10,000–$15,000 amount previously shown in the city’s resolution. To address that feedback, the staff member asked the council to amend the resolution to request $30,000 in SHPO grant funds so the city can complete the study and submit a final application later this month.
The presenter said the pre-application had been submitted and that SHPO recommended increasing the request; the staff member said the city must amend the resolution as a requirement for submitting the final application. The transcript includes the staff member’s request to increase the requested amount to $30,000 but does not record a formal motion, vote, or the final disposition of the amendment.
A council member praised the staff and described the SHPO feedback — that the city had asked too little — as a compliment to the staff’s earlier work and outreach. The council did not provide additional project scope, cost breakdowns, or a final vote in the meeting record; the speaker referenced a study but did not provide a detailed scope of work in the transcript.
