The Englewood City Council on Dec. 16 approved two grants intended to expand victim services and support sustainability for city vehicle operations. Council members voted to accept a grant for the police department to support victim assistance services; the transcript does not specify the dollar amount for that award.

Separately, the council approved acceptance of a Fleet grant from the State Energy Office described in the meeting recap as $33,000 to back sustainability initiatives for city vehicles. The action was presented as a passed motion; the transcript does not record who moved or seconded the measure or any roll-call vote tally.

City communications said the victim assistance grant will enhance resources for crime victims to ensure comprehensive support during difficult circumstances. The Fleet grant was framed as funding to support sustainability initiatives for municipal vehicles. The meeting recap did not provide program timelines, budget line-item changes, or details about reporting requirements for either grant.

Next steps: the council’s acceptance completes the local approval step; the transcript does not specify when funds will be received or when related programs will be implemented.
