Byron council authorizes mayor to sign revised TAP grant application increasing request to $250,000
Summary
The council approved renewing Resolution 22-2025 to send an updated TAP Master Street Plan application seeking $250,000 after engineering estimates from HDR, EA and JUB exceeded earlier projections; the vote was unanimous.
Byron — The Byron Town Council voted July 8 to authorize Mayor Allan Clark to sign an updated Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) Master Street Plan application that increases the grant request to $250,000. Clerk/Treasurer Kristin Sanders told the council engineering cost estimates from HDR, EA and JUB came in higher than expected, prompting the adjustment.
Brandon Hessenthaler moved to approve the mayor’s signature on the revised application under Resolution 22-2025; Shae Abraham seconded and the motion passed with all members recorded in favor. The council did not commit local matching funds at the meeting and asked staff to proceed with the updated application paperwork.
The TAP program application now requests $250,000, up from the earlier $225,000 figure. Kristin Sanders described the increase as a response to higher engineering estimates; no line-item breakdown was provided at the meeting. Council members asked staff to continue coordinating with the TAP committee and return with any further details or cost-share requests before obligating town funds.
The council’s action was procedural authorization to submit the revised application; final grant award and any matching or implementation decisions will depend on the TAP program’s review and subsequent council direction.
