Council designates authorized signatories for CDBG mitigation grant to begin drainage improvements
Summary
Council unanimously adopted Resolution No. 20-2026 to designate city staff authorized to sign payment requests and contractual changes for a CDBG mitigation grant administered by the Texas General Land Office, a step staff said is required to start drainage improvements behind Penn Money.
The Clute City Council on April 23 adopted Resolution No. 20-2026 to designate authorized city officials to sign payment requests and approve contract changes for the city’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) mitigation project administered by the Texas General Land Office (GLO).
City staff explained the GLO requested an additional resolution specifying which city staff are authorized signatories so the contract and payment process can proceed. The resolution names the mayor and the city manager as authorized signatories for payment requests and contractual changes tied to the GLO contract number read aloud in the packet.
Staff told the council this action will allow the city to begin the drainage improvements behind Penn Money, including inline detention and an increase in water-holding capacity. The council moved, seconded and approved the resolution unanimously. The transcript contains a garbled reading of the grant award amount; the precise dollar amount was not clearly recorded in the transcript and should be confirmed in the official resolution packet.
