Committee schedules two grant resolutions for May 7 agenda
Summary
The Finance Committee scheduled two grant resolutions — one for the Roberto Clemente organization and one for the Delaware Center for Horticulture — to appear on the May 7 Wilmington City Council agenda; both items were described as exceeding $5,000 and therefore requiring council approval.
The Finance Committee on May 4 scheduled two separate grant items for the May 7 Wilmington City Council agenda.
Chair Michelle Harley said the first resolution would authorize grant funds to a Roberto Clemente-related organization; a committee speaker noted the group has already received up to $5,000 and any award above that threshold requires a council resolution. The sponsor listed for that item was Councilmember Willier.
The second resolution would authorize grant funds to the Delaware Center for Horticulture. Councilmember Owens explained that she and Councilmember Field are contributing district beautification funds and that the combined total for the year exceeds $5,000, which triggers council review and action.
Both items received no public comment in committee and were scheduled on the record to appear on the May 7 council agenda.
