Lewisburg council approves four grant applications, totaling potential funds of up to $554,000
Summary
The council approved resolutions to apply for four grants: Tennessee Department of Health Healthy Built Environment ($80,000), Project Diabetes (up to $150,000 per year, $450,000 max), an AARP grant ($20,000), and a Spark Good Local grant for Walmart ($4,000).
The mayor and council approved four separate resolutions authorizing staff to apply for grant funding at Tuesday’s regular meeting.
Resolutions approved on recorded roll calls include: - Resolution 25-05: application to the Tennessee Department of Health Healthy Built Environment grant in the amount of $80,000 with no local match required; moved by Councilwoman Robinson and seconded by Councilwoman Thomas; roll call Aye votes recorded. - Resolution 24-06: application for Tennessee Department of Health’s Project Diabetes, a grant lasting up to three years with funds not to exceed $150,000 per year and a maximum award of $450,000, with no match; moved by Councilwoman Thomas and seconded by Councilwoman Michael; roll call Aye votes recorded. - Resolution 25-07: application for an AARP grant in the amount of $20,000 with no match; moved by Councilwoman Thomas and seconded by Councilwoman Robinson; roll call Aye votes recorded. - Resolution 24-08: acceptance of Spark Good Local funds for the local Walmart in the amount of $4,000 with no match; moved by Councilwoman Thomas and seconded by Councilwoman Michael; roll call Aye votes recorded.
All four resolutions passed with unanimous recorded votes. The council recorded no substantive debate on the individual grant applications during the meeting; each resolution was presented, motioned, seconded and put to a roll-call vote.
Each application authorizes staff to pursue the listed grant and accept funds if awarded; the council did not approve associated appropriations beyond authorizing applications and acceptance, and no local match was required for the listed grants.
