Council authorizes state Climate Smart grant application to expand tree-planting program
Summary
The council authorized submission of a NYS consolidated funding and NYSDEC Climate Smart Communities grant to continue the city's tree-planting program; city staff cited an $80,000 matching commitment (20%).
The New Rochelle City Council voted to authorize the city manager to submit a New York State consolidated funding application and a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Climate Smart Communities grant application to support continued tree planting in the city.
The city manager said staff wanted to "take advantage of this grant and continue our tree planting program beyond into the future years" and indicated the local match in the packet as $80,000, which staff described as a 20% match. Councilwoman Kaye had raised questions previously; staff said the resolution reflected minor tidying of the packet and no additional conditions were offered in the public discussion. The resolution was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
The grant application is intended to extend the tree-planting program beyond current resources; the municipal match and any resulting contracts or project schedules will be determined as staff advances the application if funding is awarded.
