Sigourney to act as applicant for emergency catalyst grant at 119 E Marion; no city funds pledged
Summary
Council agreed to support Barn Wired’s emergency catalyst grant application for an upper-story apartment at 119 E Marion by having the city act as applicant, but declined to pledge city funds at this time; specific grant amounts were not provided.
At the March 19 meeting the Sigourney City Council voted unanimously to have the City act as the applicant for an emergency catalyst grant for 119 E Marion, a project proposed by Barn Wired to create an upper-story apartment.
Council member Iosbaker raised 119 E Marion as a candidate for the emergency catalyst grant. Council member Conrad moved, seconded by Council member Lentz, that the City support Barn Wired’s application by acting as the applicant and recipient of the funds but not pledge any City financial contribution at this time. The motion passed unanimously.
Council members noted that the City’s participation would likely be as a flow-through applicant for state funds and that specific budget figures or required City matching dollars were not specified in the discussion. The council’s action authorizes staff to proceed with the application process; any future financial commitment would require a separate council vote.
