Bettsville to use $150,000 state EMS grant; county to cover overruns under MOU
Summary
Council reviewed a memorandum of understanding establishing the village as custodian of a $150,000 state grant for EMS building modifications; the county will be responsible for costs above the grant amount, and final contracts will be circulated for signatures.
The Bettsville Village Council reviewed and confirmed a memorandum of understanding for a $150,000 state grant earmarked for modifications to the EMS building.
According to the MOU presented at the meeting, the state awarded $150,000 to the village for initial renovation costs; because the grant was issued to the village the village will serve as custodian for those funds and apply them to the EMS project. The county has agreed to assume responsibility for any costs that exceed the $150,000 grant. Council discussion noted that the final project cost could approach about $180,000 once additional security systems and floor painting already added to the scope are included.
Clerical and contracting steps: council members discussed the MOU language and confirmed that clerical steps will follow. The clerk said she will send the MOU to county contacts (Tony/Barb referenced in the discussion) and obtain signatures so the grant can be used for the project as intended.
Next steps: the clerk will circulate finalized documents for signature and the county and village will manage any expenditures beyond the grant amount according to the MOU.
