Council signs paperwork to participate in $700,000 CDBG drainage project for Sunset neighborhood
Summary
Council approved resolutions to participate in a Texas CDBG drainage grant for the Sunset neighborhood and adopted a civil-rights resolution required for the award; staff said the project has roughly a $700,000 award with a matching share discussed.
Staff explained the packet included two tied resolutions required by the Community Development Block Grant program: a resolution authorizing city representatives to act on CDBG matters and an updated civil-rights resolution that ensures compliance with federal requirements. The project discussed is a drainage improvement for the Sunset neighborhood; staff said the city already has the funding award and must confirm paperwork and civil-rights assurances to move forward.
Council and staff discussed project scope and the requirement that federal grant funds entail compliance with civil-rights and procurement rules; council approved both resolutions in the same motion to satisfy the grant paperwork. Staff indicated the grant award amount discussed during the meeting was about $700,000 with an approximate 20/80 local/state split referenced in the discussion.
