Staff says state pedestrian grant award corrected; council asked to accept amended agreement

Director Lopez informed the council of a late contract amendment to a state grant award for pedestrian improvements at a road facility the transcript identifies as the “board Wyoming Center.” The city applied for $125,000 and was awarded $75,000. Staff discovered the award agreement initially listed the state share as 30% of project costs rather than the 50% staff expected; staff said the agreement was amended the same day to reflect a 50% share or $75,000, whichever is less.

Lopez said the amendment came through minutes before the meeting and recommended the council accept the corrected agreement. The council asked no substantive questions and staff indicated they would seek formal approval that night.

What happens next: staff will place the amended agreement on the council’s consent agenda for approval and proceed with project planning if the council accepts the award.
