City reports state denied $1.5M matching grant for Boys and Girls Club; staff seeking additional funding
Summary
During monthly reports, the city administrator said the state of Wisconsin did not approve a $1.5 million matching grant for the Boys and Girls Club infrastructure project; staff said they are pursuing other funding but had no confirmed alternatives to report.
During the Personal Finance Committee's May 26 meeting, the city administrator reported that the state of Wisconsin did not approve a $1.5 million matching grant for infrastructure work connected to the Boys and Girls Club. The administrator said the grant request—paired with support from the Beermans—was not approved and that staff are working to secure additional funding but had no definitive report to present.
Mayor Haas offered to answer questions on his monthly report; none were raised. City staff said the funding outlook was "looking promising" but reiterated there was nothing definitive to report at that time. The committee placed the monthly reports on file by motion.
Next steps: Staff will continue pursuing additional funding for the Boys and Girls Club project and update the committee when new information is available.
