Council signs partnership agreement to support YMCA EPA grant for Camp Moody dining hall
Summary
Council approved a partnership agreement with the Greater Austin YMCA allowing the YMCA to use the city as a governmental partner in an EPA grant application to build a dining facility at Camp Moody; the city will provide advisory support at no cost and the facility could serve as a cooling center and emergency response asset if funded.
Staff briefed council on a request from the Greater Austin YMCA that the city serve as the governmental statutory partner for an EPA grant application to fund construction of a dining facility at Camp Moody. Staff said there is no financial obligation for the city; the city would provide the required governmental partner role and advice during project development if the grant is awarded.
Staff noted the facility could serve dual uses: dining and potential community cooling or emergency use. Council moved quickly to adopt the partnership agreement to meet the grant deadline and approved the motion by voice vote.
