Resolution - City Manager:
Consider a resolution authorizing the City Council to ratify the actions of the City Manager in executing, on behalf of the City of Lubbock, a grant agreement with Helen Jones Foundation, Inc. for the construction of a downtown civic park.
Item Summary
This item is to ratify the acceptance of grant dollars by the City Manager from Helen Jones Foundation, Inc. for the construction of a downtown civic park.
On September 28, 2021, the City Council approved Resolution No. 2021-R0388 approving the civic park project to be located at 1301 Broadway, utilizing the Wind + Water design as created by TBG Partners and as recommended by the Central Business District Tax Increment Financing Advisory Board.
On April 15, 2022, the City of Lubbock submitted an application for support of the Civic Park project to Helen Jones Foundation, Inc. On July 7, 2022, the City received notice that Helen Jones Foundation, Inc. voted to support the project in the amount of $500,000. The grant was paid on July 7, 2022, and must be used for park construction.
Fiscal Impact
This $500,000 grant is fully funded by Helen Jones Foundation, Inc. and therefore, does not require a local match. Acceptance of this grant will result in no additional cost to the City of Lubbock.
