Council approves engineering amendment with Jones & DeMille; city awarded $50,000 Idaho Gem Grant
Summary
Preston approved a First Amendment to the assignment order with Jones & DeMille to provide engineering and project management for Rotary Park and downtown revitalization; the city did not receive its CDBG application but was awarded a $50,000 Idaho Gem Grant and will reapply for CDBG next year.
City staff told the council the city applied for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and selected Jones & DeMille through an RFP to do engineering and project management for a downtown/Rotary Park project. Staff reported the CDBG application was unsuccessful, but the city received an Idaho Gem Grant in the amount of $50,000.
The council approved a First Amendment to the assignment order with Jones & DeMille and authorized Mayor Dan Keller to sign the agreement so the city can be ready to reapply for CDBG next year. The amendment shifts Jones & DeMille’s work to include engineering for the Rotary Park and downtown area.
