On Tuesday, Assistant City Manager Nick Walker will ask the council to execute the professional services agreement with Adams Ashby Group LLC for grant administration.
Walker’s report explained that Adams Ashby will help the city with state and federal grant administration, including the Community Development Block Grant.
Adams Ashby, the only firm that responded to the city’s request for proposals for the services, has had a contract with the city to provide grant writing and implementation services which expired.
The company’s “experience with federal applications and administration are needed to make sure the City is complying with all the federal regulations, documentation, federal and state labor compliance, and ongoing administration of federal awards. Adams also facilitates communication between the City, granting agencies, loan underwriters, contract engineers and any contractors involved in the grant projects, to make sure all parties are complying with federal standards and regulations,” Walker wrote.
In other business, Public Works Director Ron Ladd will ask the council to adopt a resolution revising the prohibited parking zones within the city.
“Due to pedestrian improvements and lane realignments completed with the Hartley Street Project it has been determined by staff that there is not adequate roadway width for safe traffic flow on Hartley Street to allow for parking along the west side of the street,” Ladd wrote in his report to the council. “Therefore, staff is recommending that the west side of Hartley Street from Boggs Lane north to the city limit be posted for ‘No Parking.’”
On the consent agenda — items considered noncontroversial and usually accepted as a slate on one vote — are the Sept. 8 warrant register; ordinances; minutes of the regular council meeting on Sept. 5; approval of application 2024-001, with staff recommendations, for the 2024 Western Outdoor News, or WON, Clear Lake Open bass tournament; and approval of application 2023-023, with staff recommendations, 2023 CLHS Homecoming Parade.
