Council to consider $69,000 grant for Knoxville Park HVAC upgrade
Summary
Bruce Smith of the mayor's office told the council the city received two grants, including $69,000 to upgrade HVAC at Knoxville Park, and requested a budget revision so the administration may obligate funds and proceed with vendor work as soon as this week.
Bruce Smith, representing the mayor's office, told the Bennett City Council the city received two one-time grants and asked the council to approve a revision to the 2026–27 general fund so the administration can obligate the funds.
"The main one ... is the one for $69,000 for Knoxville Park," Smith said, adding the vendor was ready to begin as soon as this week to install needed HVAC equipment amid extreme heat. Smith said the budget change separates recurring from nonrecurring revenue to make the one-time grants visible in the budget.
Smith framed the request as an administrative housekeeping action that grants the mayor's office authority to spend the awarded money within the fiscal year. Council members did not debate the substance of the grant in detail during the session recorded in the transcript; the item was identified as linked to resolution 26-2139 and will be brought forward for council action.
