Council adopts affirmative fair‑housing policy tied to grant; generator installation at LBC delayed to March 6
Summary
The Mount Vernon City Council approved Resolution 222026A to adopt an affirmative fair‑housing policy required by a roughly $100,000 grant related to a generator at the LBC. Staff said the generator installation was delayed by weather and scheduling and has been rescheduled for March 6 to reduce program impacts.
The Mount Vernon City Council voted to adopt Resolution 222026A, which establishes an affirmative fair‑housing policy required under a grant the city received to purchase and install a generator for the LBC.
City staff explained the policy requirement is part of the approximately $100,000 grant package and that the city will post the adopted policy on its website as part of the grant compliance process. “This requirement is part of that $100,000 grant award,” a staff member said.
Councilors discussed the generator installation schedule; staff told the council the project was delayed by weather and scheduling concerns and has been rescheduled for March 6 to avoid peak activity at the LBC and allow coordination with the utility. The council approved the resolution by voice vote.
What happens next: staff will publish the adopted policy on the city website as required by the grant; the generator installation is scheduled for March 6, subject to change for weather or contractor scheduling.
