Summary

To prevent potential delays that could jeopardize funding, council authorized the City Manager to sign an EGLE grant agreement and discussed streamlining approval for low- or no-cost grants.

The City of Charlotte authorized the City Manager to sign a grant agreement with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) to avoid delays that could jeopardize grant funding.

Council Members Chin and Brummette supported a streamlined approach for low- or no-cost grants so the city would not miss opportunities. The City Manager said future capital improvement planning will provide council earlier visibility into grant-funded projects. Council approved the authorization by motion (Chin moved; Neumann seconded) and the motion carried.

Minutes do not specify the grant amount or the specific EGLE program; the authorization is limited to signing the agreement to prevent timing issues.
