Council approves consent agenda; discussion notes FEMA grant submittal and possible local funding obligation
Summary
Council approved all consent items unanimously. Council member Hodrick highlighted a planned FEMA-related infrastructure grant with a project cost listed as $1,200,000 and spoke about a potential local contribution described in the meeting as $3,300,000.
Troy City Council approved the consent agenda as printed in the meeting packet on March 10.
During consent discussion, Council member Hodrick called attention to item J-10, an authorization for a grant submittal related to infrastructure and community resiliency that staff said would seek FEMA funding. Hodrick said the identified project cost is $1,200,000 and that, if the grant were awarded, the city would need to put forward local funds; during the meeting Hodrick stated the city's share would be $3,300,000.
Hodrick framed the grant submittal as part of ongoing planning and mitigation work by city engineers and the Department of Public Works and urged council recognition that staff seeks external funding for expensive capital projects. Council member Hamilton moved to approve all items on the consent agenda; Council member Chamberlain Kranga seconded. The roll-call vote was unanimous.
The meeting packet lists the authorization for the grant submittal; the staff presentation at the meeting did not provide additional detail on exact grant program match rules or project phasing. Councilors said staff will continue to pursue applicable grant funding and mitigation projects.
