Council authorizes city manager to file grant applications through June 2027
Summary
Fairmont council unanimously approved an omnibus resolution granting the city manager authority to submit unspecified grant applications for fiscal year 2026-2027; authorization expires June 30, 2027.
The Fairmont City Council unanimously adopted an omnibus grant-authority resolution on May 26 that authorizes the city manager or a designee to submit grant applications to foundations, corporations, and governmental entities for projects that benefit Fairmont during fiscal year 2026-2027.
The resolution, read by the city clerk, grants general authority for unspecified grant submissions and names the city manager as the official representative for applications; the resolution states it will expire on June 30, 2027. Council voted in favor by roll call with no recorded dissent. City Manager Travis Blosser described the measure as allowing staff to pursue funding opportunities in a timely way, including deadlines that might fall between council meetings.
Next steps: city staff may submit grant applications under the authority granted by this resolution and will report awards or major grant applications back to council for acceptance or to request matching funds if required.
