Finance committee backs $15,940 community grant for First Presbyterian Church
Summary
The Skagway Municipality finance committee recommended approval of a $15,940 community funding grant to First Presbyterian Church to support senior lunches and community food services; the motion passed unanimously and will be forwarded to the Assembly.
The finance committee recommended approval of a $15,940 community funding grant to First Presbyterian Church, with a unanimous voice vote. A committee member moved to approve the award and another member seconded; the motion passed 3–0.
Committee members described the church’s work providing senior lunches and community meal programs, saying the grants support essential winter services. The chair said, “I think what the Presbyterian Church does is excellent — the senior lunches, the various school groups that come through and stay there,” and urged support for the program.
The grant amount was corrected on the floor from an initially stated figure; the mover rescinded the higher figure and confirmed the correct award of $15,940 before the vote. The committee did not attach conditions beyond standard grant accountability; the award will be forwarded to the Assembly for final authorization.
The committee then moved on to infrastructure items on the agenda.
