The Saint Paul City Council adopted a resolution to increase the Department of Parks and Recreation grant fund by $675,000 per year for two years to reflect grant funds from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development for RITEC and to authorize entering into a grant agreement.
Vice President Kim moved to close the public hearing and approve the resolution; the motion carried unanimously. The chair announced, "All in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed? 7 in favor, no and opposed. The public hearing is closed and the resolution is adopted."
City staff had no public testimony at the hearing. The resolution, identified on the agenda as Resolution Public Hearing 20 five-two 16, amends the department's grant fund to reflect the state grant award. The resolution language on the agenda states the increase is $675,000 per year for two years and cites the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development as the funding source; the matter was approved at the public hearing stage and requires any subsequent administrative steps to execute the grant agreement.
Next steps: Department of Parks and Recreation staff will execute the grant agreement with the state and amend the department's grant fund consistent with the resolution. The council did not record further conditions or amendments at the vote.
