Mayor Dyer spotlights 22 mayor’s matching grant projects; recipients recognized at council meeting
Summary
Mayor Buddy Dyer said the agenda included approval of funding for 22 mayor’s matching grant projects and invited recipients to stand for recognition; at least one commissioner later declared an abstention on a related consent item because of a family conflict.
Mayor Buddy Dyer told the City Council on June 23 that the agenda includes approval of funding for 22 mayor’s matching grant projects that support schools, neighborhood associations and nonprofits. He invited representatives of those organizations to stand for recognition in the chamber.
Several commissioners echoed congratulations to the grantees. Commissioner Stewart said she needed to abstain on agenda item 3B because her son-in-law is in leadership at Pulte Homes Group; she stated that abstention would be registered when the item comes forward.
The mayor and multiple commissioners took time during the meeting to recognize grant recipients and community partners; the transcript indicates recipients were in the room and publicly acknowledged by the mayor.
