Council backs resolution supporting brick-street grant application
Summary
Council approved a resolution supporting a Transportation Alternatives grant application for brick‑street repairs, acknowledging no guarantee of award and discussing potential local match options including sales tax or grants.
Council considered and approved a resolution endorsing a Transportation Alternatives (TA) grant application to support brick‑street work. Staff explained the resolution demonstrates council support for the grant application but does not guarantee award. "This is part of the TA grant program...we made it through the first round of this year's offerings, and then we will be submitting a [BRIC/TA] application," staff said, asking council endorsement to move the application forward.
Members discussed how the required local match could be funded if the grant were awarded—options mentioned included sales-tax revenue and pursuing tax credits for the community center that could offset bond proceeds. After a motion and second, the resolution passed by voice vote with one dissenting council member. Staff said they would return with more detailed cost figures and possible funding sources if the grant application progresses.
