Bennet council agrees to pursue CCCFF grant and reintroduce local childcare foundation
Summary
Councilmember Jesse Schmidt will begin working on a Civic and Community Center Financing Fund (CCCFF) grant application, and the council reintroduced the Bennet Palmyra Childcare Foundation effort after a discussion at the March 9 meeting.
At the March 9 meeting, Mayor Ryan Cheney introduced a review of the Civic and Community Center Financing Fund (CCCFF) administered by the Nebraska Department of Economic Development and the reintroduction of the Bennet Palmyra Childcare Foundation at the request of Councilmember Jesse Schmidt.
After discussion, Schmidt told the council he would begin working on the grant process with assistance from partner organizations. No vote or funding commitment was recorded in the minutes; the item was advanced as a staff/council direction to begin grant work and outreach.
The CCCFF is a state-administered financing tool; the council’s action at the meeting was to authorize Schmidt to pursue preparatory work rather than to approve a specific application or allocation. The city attorney and staff will be involved as needed when formal application steps or intergovernmental agreements are required. The council did not set a timeline or vote on a specific dollar request during the meeting.
