Jackson council approves engineer and grant writer for 2027 CDBG project
Summary
The Jackson City Council unanimously approved Goodwyn Mills Cawood for engineering services and authorized a grant writer for the city's 2027 CDBG project, and authorized Mayor Carlos Duffey to sign related documents. The minutes record an inconsistent name for the approved grant writer.
The Jackson City Council on June 2 unanimously approved hiring Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC) as the engineer and authorized a grant writer for the city's 2027 Community Development Block Grant project, City Manager Holly Bailey told the council.
Bailey presented the recommendation to the mayor and council, identifying Goodwyn Mills Cawood for engineering services and naming a grant writer during her presentation. Councilwoman Jeanette Riley moved to approve the grant writer and Councilman Theodore Patterson seconded; the motion passed unanimously. Riley then moved to approve Goodwyn Mills Cawood as the project engineer, Patterson seconded, and that motion also passed unanimously.
The minutes record the grant writer in two different ways: Bailey's presentation refers to "Gregory Tyler," while the formal approval motion in the minutes names "Gregory STC." The minutes do not include further contact information or a firm affiliation for the grant writer; the council record provides the motion as approved but does not resolve the naming discrepancy.
Actions recorded in the minutes authorize Mayor Carlos Duffey to execute any documents related to the grant-writer and engineering agreements. No vote-by-name roll call was recorded; each motion was recorded as passing unanimously.
