Lorenzo council authorizes signatory and application for Texas CDBG funding
Summary
Lorenzo approved Signatory Resolution 241112 and Resolution 241211 to authorize city representatives and submit an application to the Texas Department of Agriculture for Community Development Block Grant funding to support local projects.
Mayor Lori Landin and the Lorenzo City Council on Nov. 12 voted to move forward with a pair of actions to pursue state CDBG funding.
Council Member Cheryl Birdwell moved to approve Signatory Resolution 241112, authorizing city representatives to act on matters related to the city’s participation in the Texas Community Development Block Grant program; Council Member Rhonda Cypert seconded. The motion passed with four votes in favor and one member absent. The council then approved Resolution 241211, authorizing submission of a Texas CDBG application to the Texas Department of Agriculture for the Community Development Fund; Council Member Earlene Rampy seconded that motion. That vote also passed, four to zero with one absence.
The two resolutions together let Lorenzo both designate who may sign grant documents on the city’s behalf and authorize filing an application seeking state CDBG funds. The council did not specify a project list in the meeting minutes; next steps are administrative: preparing the application materials for the Texas Department of Agriculture.
The actions were recorded in the meeting minutes as Resolution 241112 and Resolution 241211 and carried by recorded motion and second. No public comment or dissent on these items was recorded.
