Council materials show Public Works committee approved applying for a grant to add five-headed traffic signals
Summary
A council member asked whether the Public Works committee approved applying for a grant or committed funds for a two-mile turn-signal project; staff said the committee authorized applying for a grant to convert to five-headed signals and did not include a dollar amount in the minutes.
During review of committee actions, a council member asked whether the two-mile turn-signal item authorized an application for grant funding or committed municipal funds. A staff member responded that the committee approved applying for a grant to convert signals to five-headed assemblies and that the minutes did not list a dollar amount.
The exchange occurred while the council considered adoption of Public Works committee actions. The council member said they were not at the committee meeting and sought clarity: "Was that approved for a turn signal, or what are we doing?" A staff member answered, "I believe it was approved to, apply for the grant to add to switch it to 5, 5 headed signals. I think it was not or we didn't put a dollar value on it, but just to apply for the grant to see if we could get it." The council member thanked staff and seconded the motion to approve the committee minutes.
The council adopted the Public Works committee minutes by a 7–0 vote. The record in the council meeting does not show whether the city will match any grant or what timeline is expected for grant application, award, or installation. Those details would be resolved through staff follow-up if the grant opportunity proceeds.
