Jervis council unanimously backs letter supporting school district's seismic-grant application
Summary
The council adopted resolution 25-014 authorizing the mayor to sign a letter of support for the school district's seismic-upgrade grant application; staff said the community letter improves the district's position for matching funds and increases grant competitiveness.
City staff presented a draft resolution and a supporting letter on Nov. 6 asking the council to authorize the mayor to sign in support of the school district's application for seismic upgrades to public school facilities. Staff said many districts are applying for seismic grants and that local support strengthens a district candidate's application.
A staff member explained the district had prepared a financial plan and that adding a city letter of support would improve match prospects for the grant. The council moved to adopt resolution 25-014 and authorize the mayor to sign the attached letter; the motion passed with recorded "aye" votes.
Next steps: staff will finalize the resolution and the mayor will sign the letter to be included in the district's grant application materials.
