A Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Sign and Submit a Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application for a Joint Facility to Address Food
Insecurity.
Whereas, the City of Brookings has held discussions with community partners to
address the aging Food Pantry facility. These conversations have identified an
opportunity to create a joint facility addressing food insecurity which would house
multiple community partners; and
Whereas, to maximize available resources, the City of Brookings and First District
Association of Local Governments have discussed possible Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funding. A special population survey of users of the Food Pantry

the project. An adequate survey response has been received and the City of Brookings
is eligible to apply for CDBG funding; and
Whereas, this resolution authorizes the City Manager to sign and submit the CDBG
Grant Application for a grant of up to $2 Million Dollars for a joint facility to address food
insecurity. The City Manager would also serve as the City's Official for the purpose of
signing CDBG grant agreements, contracts, correspondence, pay requests, and other
required documents in connection with a CDBG grant and this project.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the City Manager of the City of Brookings is
authorized to sign and submit the CDBG Grant Application for a grant of up to $2 Million
Dollars for a joint facility to address food insecurity, and to sign CDBG agreements,
contracts, correspondence, pay requests, and other required documents for this project.
