County authorizes submission and approves Michigan Neighborhood Grant application
Summary
The committee approved a resolution allowing the county to submit an application for the Michigan Neighborhood Grant and then voted to approve the application itself after clarifying administrative-cost math (questions about an 18% administrative cap vs. $45,000 listed).
Staff (speaker S9) introduced a resolution authorizing the county to submit an application for the Michigan Neighborhood Grant, and later presented the actual neighborhood grant application for approval. Board members questioned whether the administrative cost allowance matched the stated percentage (18%) and the dollar amount listed ($45,000 vs. an 18% calculation on the total grant), prompting clarifying comments from staff.
One member (S2) noted the arithmetic concern: "I believe earlier... the administration costs were 18 and 0.5 percent? $18. 18%? And this says that there will be $45,000 allowed for the administrative cost. 18% is, like, $53,000." Staff and a colleague clarified the basis for the numbers and how the county would request the additional amount above any pre-set per-unit figure. After clarification, the committee approved both the resolution to submit the application and the application itself, authorizing the chair to sign.
The board did not record detailed vote tallies in the transcript; approval was taken by voice vote. Staff will proceed with submission and the chair is authorized to execute application documents as needed.
