County commissioner tells Clawson about LATCF COVID funds, planning & zoning openings and EMT staffing challenges
Summary
A county commissioner briefed the council on planning-and-zoning vacancies, available LATCF COVID-relief funds (up to $30,000 per qualifying community development project), and countywide challenges filling EMT positions.
A county commissioner (Speaker 6) briefed the Clawson council on several county matters. The commissioner asked for local volunteers to join the county planning and zoning board and noted meetings occur the second Tuesday at 1:00 p.m.
On COVID-relief funding, the commissioner said the county has LATCF funds available that must be spent according to federal guidelines and that the county is allocating some funding to cities for qualifying community development projects — "I believe it's up to 30,000 if you have a project, a community development project," Speaker 6 said. He urged towns to consider projects such as playground improvements or pickleball courts and said the county would communicate application guidelines.
The commissioner also updated the council on emergency medical technician staffing, saying recruitment remains thin countywide though several candidates in the local area were likely to qualify. He encouraged the council to think of community projects that could leverage LATCF funds and to apply through county procedures.
Next steps: the county will communicate LATCF application guidance and the council may consider potential projects and apply according to federal program rules.
