Body
Item Summary:
This CLG grant award through the SHPO is to be used in conjunction with the Georgia Statewide Historic Preservation Conference to be held in Roswell on the April 19-20, 2012. The grant funds are 60% state/40% local matching and the award amount offered is $6,000, requiring a $4,000 match from the City.
Committee or Staff Recommendation:
On December 28, 2011 the Community Development and Transportation Committee recommended placing this item on the January 9, 2012 Mayor and Council Agenda.
Financial Impact:
Budget Amendment 7322G6-01-09-12 will transfer the required grant match from Matching Grant Fund Contingency and set up the total budget for Cost Center 7322G6, Account # 531105, Project # 12GRA004 in the amount of $10,000. It is expected that city staff time spent on the conference may be counted as in-kind labor services toward the required $4,000 match thus reducing the amount needed from Grant Match Contingency. Upon approval of the Budget Amendment, Matching Grant Fund Contingency will have $199,419 available.
