Barrett Township seeks $280,000 through LSA grant to cover generator shortfall
Summary
Township staff told the board the project needs a $600,000 generator; with a $170,000 LSA award and a $150,000 community contribution, the board approved a resolution seeking an additional $280,000 to fund a 500-kilowatt generator.
Barrett Township officials voted to adopt a resolution asking the Local Share Account (LSA) program for $280,000 to cover a shortfall on a planned 500-kilowatt generator.
Staff told the board the township had been awarded $170,000 toward the project but estimated the generator that could power the entire facility would cost about $600,000. According to the report to the board, a community contribution of $150,000 is available, leaving a financing gap of $280,000. The board moved to approve the resolution and the motion passed.
The staff presentation noted a need for a generator capable of running the whole building; no final vendor or installation schedule was presented at the meeting. The board did not specify sources for the remaining gap beyond the LSA request, and asked staff to pursue the resolution as the next procedural step.
Next steps: The resolution was adopted; staff will proceed with the LSA application process and return to the board with updates or additional funding options as they become available.
