Roads Committee recommends applying for ALDOT grant, hiring consultant to prepare application
Summary
At its Feb. 3 work session the Roads Committee recommended the town apply for an Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) grant and suggested hiring Michael Rice to handle the grant application; the minutes record the recommendation but do not show a formal motion or vote.
The Roads Committee recommended that Highland Lakes apply for a grant from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) and that the town hire Michael Rice to prepare and submit the grant application, according to Feb. 3 work-session minutes.
The minutes record the committee’s recommendation but do not record a formal motion, who would be authorized to hire Rice, the scope of work, or any dollar amounts associated with the proposed grant. The recommendation was entered under “Other business” as a Roads Committee proposal; the minutes do not show council approval or a vote on the matter.
Mayor Gail Bailey recorded the recommendation in the minutes; the town clerk will include the entry in the official record. If the council chooses to pursue the grant it would likely require a subsequent agenda item with a recorded motion and vote or an authorization for staff to negotiate contract terms with the proposed consultant.
