Sunbury Council approves one-year, $12,000 contract for grant-writing support
Summary
Council approved a 12-month contract for $12,000 to continue administration of existing grants; the vote passed with one councilmember recorded as dissenting.
Sunbury City Council voted to approve a 12-month contract valued at $12,000 to provide grant-writing and grant-administration support for the city's existing grants.
Council discussion framed the contract as a short-term measure to maintain continuity while supervisors and staff learn grant processes. Councilmembers said the one-year contract covers only existing grants that have been applied for or awarded; it does not authorize new grant applications under the contract language discussed on the record.
The motion to approve a 12-month contract for $12,000 passed by roll call. The recorded vote on the motion included five recorded yes votes and one recorded no (Councilmember Rochez). Council members emphasized reviewing the arrangement after one year to determine whether to continue or change approach. Some members had earlier moved to table separate personnel items related to a grant-writer position; the one-year contract is distinct from those position discussions and was presented as a limited-service contract.
Council did not attach a contract document to the public discussion during the meeting; staff said the agreement is intended to cover continuing administration of the city's 2023 grants and other ongoing grant work for the coming year. The council asked that supervisors and staff work together on contract language and term details before final execution.
