Petersburg council directs city manager to reallocate CDBG funds from Helping Hands program
Summary
The Petersburg City Council voted to add and then adopt a resolution directing the city manager to retract and reallocate Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the Helping Hands program and replace them with money from the general fund; the final adoption passed on a roll-call vote with all members recorded as voting 'Aye.'
The Petersburg City Council voted to adopt a resolution directing the city manager to retract and reallocate Community Development Block Grant funds from the Helping Hands program and replace those funds with money from the general fund, the council announced during the closed-session certification and subsequent votes.
The presiding officer introduced the matter as a motion "to add a resolution to direct the city managers to take action to retract and reallocate CDBG funds from the Helping Hands program and replace those funds with money from the general fund." The motion to add the resolution was moved, seconded and carried on a voice vote with no opposition stated. The council then moved to adopt the resolution; a roll-call vote was taken and each named member was recorded as voting "Aye."
The transcript shows a formal adoption: the clerk called the roll, naming Council members Cuthbert, Jones, Myers, Westbrook, Smith Lee, Vice Mayor Hill and Mayor Perrin, and each was recorded as saying "Aye." The council’s adoption directs the city manager to take the reallocation steps named in the resolution; the resolution text and implementation timeline were not included in the transcript and are not specified.
The council did not specify in the recorded discussion how much money will be reallocated, the timing of the reallocation, or how the Helping Hands program will be affected operationally. The resolution as adopted assigns authority to the city manager to carry out the reallocation; further details and implementation steps were not stated on the record.
