Council to consider several grants and contracts: security camera grant, small arts grant, environmental cleanup and $750,000 CDBG award
Summary
Council added several grant acceptances and related contracts to the agenda, including a 50/50 PE Partners security camera grant for public works, a $1,650 ABC arts grant for downtown sculpture, a Montrose Environmental Solutions contract for underground tank removal, and a $750,000 CDBG‑RHP award to purchase a property for homelessness services.
Crossville — Council reviewed a package of grant and contract items and agreed to place the items on the formal agenda for approval, including a 50/50 security camera grant through the city’s insurance carrier, a small downtown arts grant, an environmental remediation contract, and a federal CDBG‑RHP award.
City staff explained the PE Partners Property Conservation Grant is a 50/50 match program administered through the city’s insurance carrier and would pay half the cost to install security cameras at the public works facility following a vehicle theft at that location.
The council was notified that an ABC grant in the amount of $1,650 was awarded for downtown sculpture; staff said the amount will likely fund one sculpture. Council also approved adding to the agenda a contract with Montrose Environmental Solutions to remove underground tanks near the central river site under another grant (referred to as the Brownfield/GO grant in staff notes).
Separately, staff announced the city had received a Community Development Block Grant – RHP (CDBG‑RHP) award of $750,000 to partner with Cumberland Fellowship in purchasing a property to serve people experiencing homelessness, with the city holding the property during a five‑year operating period after which it would transfer ownership to the operating organization. Staff said the city applied about a year ago and the grant is 100% funded.
Council added each grant contract and acceptance item to the next formal agenda for approval.
