Chair and members approve letter of support for $50,000 T‑Mobile hometown grant for park project
Summary
Parks staff asked for a letter of support for a $50,000 T‑Mobile hometown grant to supplement a park design and match requirements; the body moved and voted to authorize a signature on the letter of support.
Tiana, a parks staff member, asked the group for a letter of support to accompany an application to the T‑Mobile hometown grant program that would award the city $50,000 toward the park project. "We are asking for your letter of support for this grant that would award us $50,000," Tiana said, describing the funds as "above and beyond" existing local match commitments.
Will moved to approve a motion authorizing the letter of support and Ryan seconded. Ryan explicitly offered that he would "totally make a motion to approve that, Don sign his signature to the T Mobile grant for the parks," and Tiana confirmed a simple motion recommending approval was sufficient. The chair called for the ayes and the motion carried.
Tiana told members the grant would count as part of the project's match and that staff expect they have enough other funds to meet match requirements. There was no opposing debate recorded and staff said the next step is to finalize the letter and have the authorized signatory execute it so the application can be submitted.
Votes and next step: the body approved the motion to provide a letter of support and authorized Don to sign on behalf of the group; staff will finalize the letter and proceed with the T‑Mobile application.
