Chester to contract Brownfield Redevelopment Solutions for grant management; DCED amendment to fund $100,000
Summary
Council was told the city plans to award grant-management services to Brownfield Redevelopment Solutions (ERS Inc.) for up to $100,000 (Resolution 19) and to amend a DCED contract (C0000-86938) to provide the $100,000 (Resolution 20); staff said the payment will come from DCED funding, not the general fund.
At the Jan. 21 deliberative meeting the solicitor read Resolution 19, which the agenda describes as authorizing an award of grant-management services to Brownfield Redevelopment Solutions, ERS Inc., in an amount not to exceed $100,000 for the initial year of service. The solicitor also read Resolution 20, described as a First Amendment to contract C0000-86938 with the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) to provide $100,000 for grant management services.
During the Q&A a councilmember asked whether the $100,000 would come from the program budget or the general fund. The chief of staff replied, "It will be paid from DCED and not out of the general fund." Staff said this amendment connects the DCED contract to the BRS award to ensure funding is available for the grant-management services.
