Item No. 11 <br />memorandum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: 2015 -16 SIDEWALK GRANT APPLICATION <br />DATE: September 22, 2015 <br />BACKGROUND: For several years we have successfully applied for Texas CDBG funds to <br />replace old downtown sidewalks. This process has enhanced pedestrian safety, improved <br />accessibility consistent with the ADA, and also bettered the overall look of downtown. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: It is time to submit our annual application for sidewalks to be constructed <br />in 2016. The council conducted a public hearing on September 14, 2015, and in order for us to <br />proceed the attached resolution must be approved. <br />BUDGET: Required matching funds are included in the proposed 2015 -16 budget. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Approve resolution authorizing grant application. <br />
