Commissioners agree to serve as applicant for White Post Township fire station CDBG grant
Summary
Pulaski County agreed to sponsor a Community Development Block Grant application for a new White Post Township (Monaryville) fire station; the maximum grant amount listed was $750,000 and the township would own the station if awarded.
Pulaski County commissioners agreed to act as applicant of record so the county could sponsor a CDBG application on behalf of the Monaryville Fire Department serving White Post Township for a new fire station.
Edwin, the Curbsie representative, told the board only cities, towns or counties can submit CDBG applications; because the district served a larger area than the incorporated town, the county was asked to be the applicant. Edwin said the township would be the eventual recipient and owner of the station if funded. He told the board the maximum grant amount available for the project is $750,000.
Commissioners made a motion and seconded it to approve the county serving as applicant of record for White Post Township’s pursuit of the CDBG construction grant; the board approved the motion by voice vote. It was noted that the county cannot have more than one active CDBG application at a time; if the comprehensive-plan grant is funded, the county would need to choose which application to pursue first or reapply in the next round.
Nathan Orger clarified the timeline implications: if the comprehensive-plan application is not funded in the current round, the county could choose to apply for the fire station in the November round; a county official noted the next award date for the fire station grant would be in December under that scenario.
No roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript; the motion passed by voice vote with the board saying “Aye.”
