Brooklyn Park Council rescinds MNW termination, reallocates ARPA "Health on the Go" funds
Summary
At a special Aug. 19 meeting, the Brooklyn Park City Council unanimously adopted two consent resolutions: rescinding a resolution to terminate the Minneapolis Northwest Tourism Board agreement and reallocating ARPA-funded Health on the Go funds to hire four community consultants through 2024.
At a special meeting Aug. 19, 2024, the Brooklyn Park City Council unanimously adopted two consent resolutions that affect a local tourism agreement and the city’s ARPA-funded health outreach program.
Council Member Nicole Klonowski moved — and Mayor Pro Tem Xp Lee seconded — approval of the administrative consent items, which included Resolution No. 2024-113, rescinding a prior resolution to terminate the city’s agreement with the Minneapolis Northwest Tourism Board (MNW), and Resolution No. 2024-114, reallocating Health on the Go ARPA funds to contract with four community consultants to deliver the Health on the Go program for the remainder of 2024. Mayor Hollies Winston and Council Member Tony McGarvey participated by interactive technology; Council Member Maria Tran was excused.
The roll call vote on the consent agenda was recorded as: Yes — Klonowski, Winston, Eriksen, Morson, McGarvey, Lee; No — none. The council did not record substantive deliberation on the items in the meeting transcript.
Resolution No. 2024-113 removes the earlier action that would have terminated the city’s agreement with the Minneapolis Northwest Tourism Board. The transcript does not specify the reasons for the original termination or the terms of the restored agreement.
Resolution No. 2024-114 reallocates ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds earmarked for the Health on the Go program so the city can contract with four community consultants to deliver services through the end of 2024. The consent record does not identify the consultants, the total dollar amount being reallocated, or specific deliverables; those details were not specified in the meeting transcript.
Because both items were handled on the consent agenda and passed unanimously, the council did not schedule further discussion during this special meeting.
