Acceptance of a Grant, in the Amount of $1,000,000, from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development - Community Project Funding Grant
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond, in partnership with the City of Bellevue, applied for funding through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development - Community Project Funding Grant program to help offset the costs associated with the purchase of electric fire engines and the supporting electrical charging infrastructure. In March 2024, the City of Redmond was notified of an award for $1,000,000, to be shared with the City of Bellevue ($500,000 to Redmond, $500,000 to Bellevue). The grant requires no matching funds. Reimbursement will be provided after the project is completed, which is expected in Q1-2025.
This request is for Council to accept the grant on behalf of the Cities of Redmond and Bellevue, and to direct staff to sign an agreement between the City of Redmond and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regarding the use of funds, and to sign an Interlocal Agreement between the City of Redmond and the City of Bellevue for the pass-through of $500,000 to the City Bellevue once both projects are completed and the City of Redmond receives full reimbursement for the grant.
