The resolutions passed Monday are as follows: The first called for the reduced amount of requested funds from both the transit and Handi-bus systems to be transferred towards the purchase of a new Handi-Bus. That was carried. A second resolution called for the amount of $10,000 (included in the budget due to COVID-19) to be applied to grant requests of Concern for Youth and Midwest Food Resources, and further that follow-up be made with Midwest Food Resources in reducing their grant request. Midwest Food Resources had initially requested $5,830, but Director of Finance Steve Brown confirmed Monday that their ask was now down to $3,000. The grant towards Concern for Youth was for $5,000.
