Council hears that COPS and HUD Revive grants are reimbursement awards included in FY2026 draft
Summary
Finance Director Lori listed a $41,607 COPS grant and a $250,000 HUD Revive grant in the draft budget and confirmed both grants are reimbursement-based, meaning the city must spend first and then draw down funds.
Lori identified two federal grants included in the FY2026 draft: a COPS grant for $41,607 and a HUD Revive grant for $250,000. When asked whether the awards arrive as checks or reimbursements, Lori responded, "Both of them are reimbursement grants." She clarified the city will not receive cash up front; reimbursement grants require the city to expend eligible costs first and then claim funds.
Council members then discussed where the HUD Revive award was reflected in the expenditure lines and Lori pointed to the Revive program expense entries in the packet. Members requested staff confirm program-specific reporting and timing so the city can manage cash flow and enable projects to proceed when reimbursements arrive.
