Decatur council adopts procurement policy to support resilient‑communities grant application
Summary
The council approved Resolution R20251233 to adopt a procurement model for federal/state grant‑funded projects to support the city's application to a Resilient Communities Program grant; staff said Kimley Horn will help apply and the grant opportunity is worth up to $300,000.
The Decatur City Council voted to approve Resolution R20251233 establishing procurement policy for state and federal grant‑funded projects to support the city's application to the Resilient Communities Program.
City staff told council this resolution follows federal and state procurement guidelines tied to the grant application process and noted that consultant Kimley Horn will assist with the application. Staff said, “If you'll remember, that grant has a value of up to $300,000.” The city explained that Kimley Horn will be paid only if the grant is awarded.
A council member moved to approve the resolution; the motion was seconded and the council approved the item by voice vote. Council briefed that the model policy appears in the meeting packet and is intended to guide how the city will interact with grant funds if awarded.
The resolution does not commit city funds to the grant; it adopts procurement procedures so the city can comply with funding requirements if a grant award follows.
