Sean Pappz (Speaker 7) requested council authorization to apply for standard annual grant programs to fund road resurfacing and an intersection improvement. For the CCMG program he said the town applies annually and requested approval to submit a 2027 matching grant application for resurfacing work.
"This is the grant that we apply for every year from the past several years, and I'm here before you to request approval to apply for the 2027 cycle for the CCMG matching grant program to resurface roads," Pappz said. The council approved the application authorization by motion.
Pappz also described a Metropolitan Planning Organization intersection grant for 56th Street and County Road 900, noting additional private investment had been secured for that intersection and that design/contract options could either stage work (increasing cost) or close the corridor for a shorter duration (reducing cost). Council authorized the town to proceed with the grant application and staff will refine designs and phasing options in coordination with the grant process.
