Sherrill commission authorizes moving forward with DASNY swim-school grant paperwork
Summary
City staff asked the commission to authorize proceeding with a DASNY-administered swim-school grant submission and to permit Mayor Kevin to sign required documents; staff said this step does not itself commit state funds but is required within 30 days of notification.
City staff told the commission the swim-school item is a procedural step to notify the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) that the City of Sherrill intends to proceed with the grant process and meet local-match commitments. Staff emphasized the item "is not authorizing the state to spend any money" but is instead a necessary local authorization so DASNY knows the city is moving forward.
Brandon asked the commission to authorize the mayor (Kevin) to sign grant-related paperwork and to pass a resolution accepting the DASNY swim-grant award from New York State. Staff said the city submitted required paperwork shortly after notification and has 30 days to make the formal commitment. The commission moved and seconded the item and staff indicated Renee could draft the formal resolution language for adoption.
The discussion focused on grant-administration steps, conflict-of-interest and due-diligence questionnaire items in the grantee packet, and the need to document the public purpose and local-match commitment as part of the resolution. No final dollar amounts for local match were discussed in the meeting.
