Commission authorizes feasibility study on hiring in-house grant writer
Summary
The Mercedes City Commission voted to authorize a feasibility study to evaluate the cost and duties of adding an in-house grant-writer position so the city can compare in-house versus outsourced grant-writing.
The Mercedes City Commission voted on Aug. 18 to authorize a feasibility study to evaluate what it would cost and what duties would be required to add an in-house grant-writer position.
Commissioner Joe Martinez moved to “authorize a study into what the cost of a uh uh what it would cost to have a grant writer on staff,” and Commissioner Orlando Garcia seconded the motion, which carried on a voice vote. Martinez said the study is intended only to compare current outsourced services with the cost and responsibilities of a single staff position rather than to create the position immediately.
Supporters told the commission the study would help the city determine if bringing grant-writing in-house would be more efficient or cost-effective. One commissioner added the study should describe duties and a cost analysis so the commission can make an informed decision during a future budget cycle.
The motion directs staff to return with a feasibility report; the commission did not create the position or allocate funds for hiring at the meeting.
