Rush Valley to allocate $50,000 tourism grant for Clover Church brick restoration
Summary
Council confirmed acceptance of a $50,000 tourism grant and approved moving forward with abstract masonry’s bid to restore exterior brickwork at the Clover Church, with procurement limits clarified for future spending above $500.
The Rush Valley Town Council approved using a $50,000 tourism grant to support exterior brick restoration at the red Clover Church and discussed the contractor’s adjusted bid and procurement rules.
Staff reported that the tourism grant had been confirmed and that abstract masonry adjusted its bid to reflect the award; the contractor offered donated labor as part of the project. Council members clarified that grant funds will reimburse invoices and that any single purchase over $500 must return to council for approval under the town’s purchasing rules.
Council moved to allow invoicing under the grant and to proceed with contracting with abstract masonry within the grant amount; the motion carried. If the contractor needs to spend in increments above $500 beyond the grant reimbursement, the town will require the vendor to request council approval before proceeding.
Staff will track invoices against the grant and report back if additional council approvals are needed for out-of-scope work or purchases beyond the $500 procurement threshold.
