Summary

The commission approved an amended agreement with SMART increasing Mount Clemens’ CARES Act subrecipient award from $26,174 to $164,174; funds must be spent by June 30, 2023. The contract was reviewed by the city attorney and commissioners approved the authorization to execute the agreement.

City Manager Johnson told the commission that SMART (the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation), a direct recipient of CARES Act funding, previously designated Mount Clemens to be a subrecipient for $26,174 and has amended that agreement to increase the total award to the city to $164,174. Johnson said the amended funds are required to be spent by June 30, 2023, and the agreement has been reviewed by the city attorney.

Commissioners discussed a typographical error flagged in the draft agreement (a date listed as 03/12/2012) and asked that administration correct the date before returning the document to SMART. The administration said it would have the date corrected prior to sending the agreement back to SMART.

On a motion to approve the agreement and to authorize the appropriate city officials to execute it, the commission voted unanimously to approve the amended SMART CARES subrecipient agreement.

What the agreement covers: Johnson said the amendment increases the award amount the city will receive; the transcript does not list the specific eligible uses in the motion text. The funds are contractual between the city and SMART and were reviewed by the city attorney.

Next steps: Administration will confirm the corrected date in the contract and finalize execution. Allocated funds must be expended by 06/30/2023.
