A discussion of the Evergreen City Park
CDBG with Cara Stallman was next. Ms.
Stallman had 3 resolutions in need of passing.
First, allow the mayor to sign all grant documentation.
Second, hire a grant administer (Grant Management,
LLC). Cost $27,500 from the grant fund.
Third, hire an engineering firm to oversee
construction of the park. (Goodwyn,
Mills and Cawood, GMC). Cost $30,900
from the grant fund. It was noted the
city had already paid GMC for the drawings and other items pertaining to the
