Staff warns grants are project‑specific; city cannot reallocate funds without agency approval
Summary
City presenter reminded council that many park and stormwater grants require strict adherence to approved scopes, engineering plans, and audits, meaning saved or leftover funds generally need agency approval before being used on other projects.
A presenter told the council that many grants (including Land and Water Conservation Fund awards) are specific to the projects for which they were awarded and require the city to follow approved scopes and engineered plans.
"When you apply for those grants, you're applying from a specific agency that deals with that particular type of project, and then you put it towards what you say you're gonna put towards," the presenter said, explaining why the city must request permission from grantors to amend scopes. The presenter added that agencies audit projects and may require sealed engineering documents and other deliverables before allowing changes.
