Committee approves reallocations to 2023 ESG contracts for Salvation Army, Turning Point
Summary
The Tuscaloosa City Public Projects Committee approved two amendments allowing remaining 2023 Emergency Solutions Grant funds to move into emergency shelter line items for the Salvation Army and for Turning Point, freeing a combined $24,433.03 for shelter operations.
The Tuscaloosa City Public Projects Committee approved amendments to two subrecipient contracts under the city’s 2023 Emergency Solutions Grant program to move remaining grant funds into emergency shelter line items for the Salvation Army and for Turning Point.
Heather (staff member) told the committee that “the state allowed us a concession to move funds into our emergency shelter line item” and asked the committee to approve an amendment moving $21,136.66 to the Salvation Army’s emergency shelter budget. A separate amendment would move $3,296.37 to Turning Point’s emergency shelter line.
The moves were presented as administrative changes so the city could “spend out the remainder of our 2023 ESG funds,” Heather said. Committee member Blessings made the motion to approve the Salvation Army amendment; the committee then approved the Turning Point amendment after a motion and second. The chair noted that the usual committee that handles these items was not meeting, so the Projects Committee was entertaining them that day.
The amendments authorize the mayor to execute the amended contracts; presenters said these changes shift existing grant dollars into shelter operations rather than creating new funds. No opposition or conditions were recorded during the committee’s vote.
The committee approved both amendments by voice vote.
