Library to accept $10,000 grant; city to provide $2,500 local match and be reimbursed
Summary
The finance committee approved accepting a $10,000 grant for additional titles for the children’s collection; staff said the city will pay the full outlay of $12,500 and receive a $10,000 reimbursement after reporting, with reimbursement expected by mid‑August.
The Finance Committee on June 16 approved acceptance of a $10,000 grant for the library’s children’s collections. Library Director Judith Wright told the committee the grant requires a 25% local match; staff said the city will initially pay the full project cost and then be reimbursed.
Wright said the grant amount is $10,000 and the local match is 25% ($2,500). “We will pay the full amount of $12,500 and be reimbursed for the $10,000 once you submit reports,” Wright said; staff estimated reimbursement by mid‑August.
Motion and vote: a motion to accept the grant and provide the local match was made and seconded; the committee approved acceptance by voice vote recorded as 5 to 0.
Why it matters: the grant will add children’s titles to the library and requires a modest local match; staff will track reimbursements and reporting to secure the grant funds.
