Sandy council approves special service contract grant awards after competitive review
Summary
The city awarded biennial special service contract grants from a $60,000 pool to six recommended applicants after a subcommittee review; council approved the awards with two abstentions noted during the vote.
The City of Sandy approved special service contract (SSC) grant awards for the 2025–27 biennium following a staff report and subcommittee review. Staff said the biennial program historically budgets $60,000 and this round brought a record number of applications: 10 requests totaling $137,293. A council‑appointed subcommittee scored the applications and recommended funding six applicants with amounts adjusted to spread awards across more projects.
Council discussed the evaluation process and a few council members noted they abstained from the vote for conflict reasons. The motion to approve the recommended awards was made and seconded; council recorded two abstentions and then passed the motion.
Staff said awardees and amounts are documented in the staff report and that the program aims to spread funding among community organizations and projects that meet the council‑approved review criteria.
