Mayor to oversee pickleball grant project to save consulting fees
Summary
Mayor Frank Finnegan said he will oversee a reimbursable grant project to build pickleball courts to save the city consulting fees and to hire contractors who have worked in the city before; the grant requires approval of the work for reimbursement.
In new business the council discussed a reimbursable grant to build pickleball courts. Mayor Frank Finnegan said he would oversee the project "to save the City money by not having to pay a consulting fee and we can maximize the grant," and that the city would hire contractors familiar with past work in Hometown. The minutes note the grant is reimbursable and requires approval of the work before reimbursement is paid.
Council did not record a separate motion awarding contracts or authorizing expenditure of local funds beyond acknowledging the mayor’s oversight role; the mayor framed the plan as a cost-saving step intended to maximize the grant proceeds.
