Summary
Staff asked the board to ratify a Department of Housing and Urban Development Economic Development Initiative (EDI) community project grant application for a library expansion; the agenda referenced approximately $2,500,000 while a trustee's motion cited $2,005,100. The board approved the ratification and authorized contract execution pending award.
Staff described a proposed library expansion project and requested authorization to apply for Department of Housing and Urban Development Economic Development Initiative (EDI) community project funding for the expansion, including authorization for the city manager or designee to execute contracts and related budget actions if an award results. The agenda language referenced an "approximate amount of 2,500,000" for the project and related authorizations.
During the motion to ratify and approve the grant application, Trustee (S3) moved the item and recited the motion with a different approximate figure, saying the amount was "2,005,100." "I motion to ratify and approve the grant application and sentence of any resulting grant award from the Department of Housing and Urban Development under fiscal year 2026 Economic Development Initiative committee project funding grant, and approximate amount of 2,005,100," the trustee said. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Staff said that, once planning and architectural work proceed, the board will receive a full project presentation with design information and further budget details.
The transcript records both the agenda's approximate figure ($2,500,000) and the motion's cited figure ($2,005,100); the board approved the application with authorization to proceed subject to future project planning and formal presentation.
