Commission adopts emergency resolution to accept up to $250,000 in county funds for Sierra Nevada project
Summary
The Commission declared an emergency and adopted a resolution authorizing acceptance of up to $250,000 from Montgomery County Economic Development Government Equity Program to support a Sierra Nevada Corporation project; the item passed with recorded votes and one abstention on the second reading.
On first and second readings, the Commission considered an emergency resolution authorizing the City Manager to accept funding from the Montgomery County Economic Development Government Equity Program for the Sierra Nevada Corporation project.
The Clerk read the resolution text as an authorization to accept up to $250,000 by entering into a project agreement for the Sierra Nevada Corporation project and to declare an emergency. The emergency declaration motion was moved and seconded and the body voted to declare emergency status. The second reading recorded votes with Mayor Turner Sloss and most commissioners voting in favor and one commissioner recorded as abstaining during the emergency resolution proceedings (Commissioner Joseph registered an abstention on the vote later recorded). The Clerk announced the resolution had been adopted with four votes in favor and one abstention.
Commissioners noted the project aligns with economic development goals and that accepting county equity funding helps close financing gaps for projects under the City's development strategy. No further amendments were made at the meeting.
