Summary
Mayor John Benestante briefed the council on grant reports including ARPA, a $631,000 GLO CDBG-MITMOD sewer expansion award, a $500,000 Texas CDBG TDA sewer award, a $300,000 RCP GLO flood mitigation grant, and a $3,000,000 TxDOT Transportation Alternatives sidewalk allocation.
Mayor John Benestante presented the council with a roundup of current grant and fund reports, saying the city is working with ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act-COVID-TDEM), CDBG-MITMOD (GLO — $631,000 for sewer expansion), Texas CDBG (TDA — $500,000 for sewer), RCP (GLO — $300,000 for flood mitigation/mapping/zoning) and a TxDOT Transportation Alternatives set-aside of $3,000,000 for sidewalks. The minutes record these program names and dollar figures as the state of current grant awards and projects.
Benestante asked for questions or comments about the financial and grant reports; the minutes record none. He also told the council the city will apply for more grants next year to help fund projects, and FEMA will perform an inspection at the fire department building, items noted in the state-of-the-city briefing.
