Clarksburg council approves two grant applications to seek CDBG funding for repairs and demolitions

The Clarksburg City Council approved two resolutions to apply for community development grants during a short session in which roll was taken and formal motions were made and carried.

The clerk read a resolution described in the transcript as "to apply for a grant from the community development business grant program for the Baltimore repairs and improvements." A member moved, another seconded, members answered "Aye" when asked and the clerk announced the motion carried. The transcript does not identify who moved or seconded the motion, the project scope beyond the meeting phrasing, or any funding amounts.

The council then considered a second resolution "to apply for a grant from the CDBG program for demolition of dilapidated properties." That motion was likewise moved, seconded, met with "Aye" responses on the roll call and recorded as carried. The record contains no substantive debate, vote tally by name, or application deadlines; details such as the grant amount, specific properties planned for demolition, and next administrative steps were not specified in the meeting record.

At the start of the meeting the clerk conducted roll call. The transcript records "Here" responses for several members (Deems, Jackson, Hart and Mayor Palpatio) and does not record verbal responses for others; the clerk handled motions and called the votes that concluded both items. The session ended after a motion to adjourn, which was carried.

The resolutions recorded are applications only; the transcript shows no final award, appropriation, or implementation action. Further procedural steps, including any required applications to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program or other grant administrators, were not described in the transcript.
