The City is looking for a comprehensive approach to grant research, grant writing and grant management. It is the intention of the City to apply for grants which address documented city needs, including those associated with necessary capital infrastructure improvements, planning and public safety equipment. In addition, it is the intent of the City to apply for those grants that can be properly and efficiently administered by staff, taking into account existing duties and responsibilities. The goal of the City’s grant program is to secure funding for services and projects which the City otherwise would be required to utilize local tax dollars. In general, grants will be to advance the city’s efforts in areas including, but not limited to: public works infrastructure (i.e. roads and water/sewer), fire prevention and emergency services / management, public safety and law enforcement, economic and community development, downtown revitalization, public recreation, local government efficiency, and other essential areas of city operations. Providers must include all labor, materials, personnel and equipment needed to provide grant consulting service support to the City.
