Silvis council approves applying for OSLAD park grant
Summary
On July 21 the Silvis City Council voted 6–0 (Ald. David Rice absent) to authorize staff to apply for an Illinois OSLAD (Open Space Lands Acquisition and Development) grant to support local park projects; the item was first moved from the Committee of the Whole to the Regular meeting for final action.
The Silvis City Council voted unanimously among members present on July 21 to approve applying for an OSLAD grant to pursue state funding for local park improvements.
Alderwoman Chrissy Winters moved to approve applying for the grant, and Alderwoman Ariel Wilcox seconded. The motion carried on a 6–0 voice vote with Alderman David Rice recorded as absent. The OSLAD item had been discussed earlier in the Committee of the Whole and moved to the Regular meeting for final action.
The council did not identify a dollar amount in the meeting record and did not attach a specific project in the motion; packet materials and staff reports were referenced as being 'in the packet.' The grant application will follow the city’s standard submission process and, if awarded, will likely require matching funds or a follow-up council action to accept the grant.
