Approving submission of a grant application to the League of
Minnesota Cities grant navigator program
Whereas, the League of Minnesota Cities (“LMC”) has created a pilot Grants Navigation
Program (“program”) in which LMC will provide grants up to $10,000 per city to use with industry
partners to ease the process of identifying matching funds to city projects and aid in the grant
application projects.
Whereas, the program is limited to providing services to help obtain grant funding for one
project per city.
Whereas, the program is limited to providing support in obtaining grant funding, and LMC
does not provide funds to implement projects.
Whereas, the City of St. Louis Park wishes to apply to the program to for support in finding
grant funding for the two-part sanitary sewer infrastructure improvement project (“project”).
Whereas, the city recognizes that if approved, any funds received through the program
must be used in a manner consistent with the conditions above as well as all other conditions or
limitations of the program.
Be it resolved by the city council of the City of St. Louis Park, Minnesota as follows:
1. The city names Austin Holm, Utilities Superintendent as its fiscal agent for the purposes
of applying to the program on behalf of the city.
2. The city authorizes the fiscal agent to act on its behalf when communicating with LMC in
all matters related to the program application for the project.
3. If the city is awarded a grant under the program, it agrees to use the funds to engage
with industry partners who will aid in the grant matching and application process
consistent with the terms and conditions of the program.
4. If a state, federal, foundation or nonprofit grant match is not found, or is applied to but
not awarded, the city will seek feedback on why the project was not eligible and report
back to the LMC with these findings consistent with the terms and conditions of the
program.
5. If a state, federal, foundation or nonprofit grant is awarded, a project assessment will be
submitted to LMC within six months of the application's approval and then periodically
until after project completion consistent with the terms and conditions of the program.
