The findings of this subcommittee will be provided to the City Council for grant consideration,
in order of point ranking.
Ms. Sundquist advised the Subcommittee based on the amount of applications previously
approved for grants and those presented tonight, approximately $4,000.00 would have been
remaining of the allocated funding for the historic preservation grants for this year.
However, a couple of previously awarded grant recipients have withdrawn due to various
reasons.
Comments from Committee Members:
Their gratitude was expressed to Ms. Sundquist for having ensured all proposed projects were
comparable by bids submitted prior to the grant review. Supporting documentation provided
made it easy to review and assess points to each project.

seconded by Committee Member Roxworthy and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 7:26 p.m.
