Council accepts multiple state and federal grants, approves budget amendments
Summary
Council held a public hearing and unanimously approved nine grant‑related items that exceeded the 1% budget amendment threshold, including funding for children’s comprehensive services, victim‑witness support ($402,009.34), Foster Grandparent program adjustments, TANF employment and training ($91,923.99), water planning and stormwater modeling grants, library funds (+$57,001.19), and opioid‑abatement awards (including $1.6M for a mobile medical unit).
The city manager summarized nine grant awards and amendments (agenda items 10–18) whose combined value exceeded the 1% threshold for budget amendments, prompting a single public hearing with individual votes. He said the city has been successful obtaining federal and state funds across human services, library, water and stormwater planning, and opioid‑abatement programs.
Highlights included a roughly $6.9 million base allocation for children’s comprehensive services (with a $2.2 million local match already budgeted), victim‑witness funding totaling $402,009.34 (federal and state components), a Foster Grandparent program award leveraging $435,633 federal funds plus a $20,000 city contribution, and a TANF employment and training award of $91,923.99. The council moved and voted individually on each item; the clerk recorded unanimous 'aye' votes on items 10–18 and the measures were approved.
