Ainsworth council approves up to $5,000 for senior center accessible entry
Summary
The council approved an ABC committee recommendation to fund up to $5,000 to install an accessible door at the senior center after the applicant said an LB840 application was withdrawn due to cash‑flow timing; the committee will not reconvene if the council approves.
The Ainsworth City Council approved an ABC committee grant to assist with installation of an accessible entry door at the senior center, voting unanimously to fund up to $5,000.
Council members said the ABC committee had initially recommended $2,500; the applicant explained the organization withdrew an LB840 application because its reimbursement cash‑flow constraints meant they could not wait. The committee and council discussed whether the committee would need to reconvene now that the requested amount increased; staff said ABC typically pays actual costs up to the approved amount and does not always reconvene for after‑the‑fact adjustments.
Council clarified that if the final invoice is lower than $5,000, ABC will pay the actual amount billed (for example, $4,800 would be paid as submitted). The applicant was instructed to submit final bills to the city to trigger payment.
Next steps: Applicant to submit final invoices; city will process payment up to the authorized maximum.
