Council recognizes planning staff after $1 million grant for police building
Summary
Councilors publicly thanked city planning staff (Abby and team) for securing roughly $1,000,000 in grant funding—via a senator’s office—for the proposed new city police building and asked the council to acknowledge that work.
A council member publicly praised the city’s planning staff for securing grant funding for city projects and singled out staffer Abby for pulling down roughly $1,000,000 in grant money—flagged as coming through the senator’s office—to support the new city police building. "I believe that we, city council, need to recognize and show our appreciation for the $1,000,000 that she was able to acquire," the council member said, thanking planning staff and outside partners for their assistance.
Councilors and others noted staff have also been working on numerous other projects with staggered timelines, and members asked that accurate details be clarified with local media given some earlier reporting errors. The recognition was recorded as a council acknowledgment rather than a formal action requiring a vote.
