Keiser records park grant, camera purchases and discusses mitigation grant for water-system generator
Summary
The council recorded receipt of an $8,000 park grant, used part of it to buy three security cameras, and discussed progress on a Fire Protection Grant and a mitigation grant for a natural-gas generator for the water system (75/25 match described as nearly $300,000).
Keiser City Council minutes from Dec. 16, 2024 show the city received several grants and authorized related expenditures and follow-up.
The minutes state the city received an $8,000 park grant; Mayor Rick Creecy traveled to Little Rock to accept the award, according to the minutes. The council purchased three cameras with grant or other city funds — one for the city shop and two for the park.
Councilmembers also discussed progress on a Fire Protection Grant; the minutes do not specify amounts or next steps for that grant beyond a status update.
Of particular note, the minutes describe a mitigation grant for a natural-gas generator to support the city’s water system. The mitigation grant was described in the minutes as a 75/25 match and was characterized as worth almost $300,000; the minutes do not list a finalized award or implementation timeline and the grant remains dependent on further administrative steps.
The minutes also note a tree grant: $2,500 was covered by a grant identified in the minutes as from 'Urban' and an additional $2,500 was donated by Big River Steel to fund trees in the park.
No roll-call votes are recorded for the grant items; the minutes present them as received and discussed during the New Business portion of the meeting.
