Greenville — The Greenville City Council unanimously accepted two grants from the Greenville Area Community Foundation at its Dec. 20, 2022 meeting, approving $174,525 for the Fred Meijer Trail Hub project and $41,000 to upgrade theater lighting at the Greenville Community Center.
Councilperson Moss moved "To accept the award of a grant from the Greenville Area Community Foundation in the amount of $174,525 for financial assistance with the Fred Meijer Trail Hub Project as presented." Councilperson Cunliffe seconded and the motion was adopted unanimously.
Moss also moved "To accept the award of a grant in the amount of $41,000 from the Greenville Area Community Foundation for improvements to the theater lighting at the Greenville Community Center as presented." Councilperson Johnson seconded; the motion was adopted unanimously.
Why it matters: Both grants provide outside funding for local projects the council placed on the agenda under new business. The trail-hub award is intended to support the Fred Meijer Trail Hub project as presented to council; the transcript does not provide additional project details or an implementation timeline.
Other actions: The council approved the consent agenda earlier in the meeting. The consent items included approval of minutes from Dec. 6, 2022; payroll for the pay period ending Dec. 10, 2022 ($98,007.01); accounts payable for the period ending Dec. 9, 2022 ($325,825.23); Planning Commission and Downtown Development Authority minutes; the November financial report; and the mayoral reappointment of Rob Christiansen to the Board of Review for a three-year term ending Dec. 31, 2025.
Public comment: Resident Steve Dombroski of 901 S. Franklin Street spoke during the statement-of-citizens period about dogs running loose; the transcript notes the comment but does not record a verbatim statement or any council response.
The meeting was called to order by Mayor Mark Lehman at 7:30 p.m. and adjourned at 7:56 p.m.
