Why This Vote Matters
The council approved expanding its contract with Glen Price Group to continue writing grant applications for city departments, increasing the total contract value from $281,000 to $481,000 through June 2009. This means the city will spend an additional $200,000 on professional grant writing services to help secure outside funding for city projects and programs. The motion passed with broad support in a 6-1 vote, with Councilmember Bates dissenting and Mayor McLaughlin abstaining. Grant writing services help cities compete for state and federal funding that can reduce the burden on local taxpayers for various municipal projects.
