September 12, 2019 <br /> T0: Mayor&City Council Members <br /> FROM: Scot Wrighton, City Manager <br /> RE: Mueller Grant Agreement <br /> Earlier this year the city received a grant in the amount of$500,000 from the State <br /> of Illinois to assist the Mueller Water Products Company with their planned capital <br /> improvements on West Eldorado Street.The funds have already been received by <br /> the city. The grant, secured with the assistance of Senator Andy Manar, is routed <br /> through the Illinois Secretary of State's Office.The city has already adopted an <br /> agreement with the State governing how the funds will be distributed,but we have <br /> not adopted an agreement between Mueller and the city. <br /> The attached resolution and grant agreement will meet this requirement and it will <br /> authorize the city to make reimbursements directly to Mueller in accordance with <br /> grant terms and conditions. <br /> This grant,along with other incentives provided by the city of Decatur to Mueller, is <br /> just one part of the package of assistance the city is making available so that capital <br /> improvements and eventual job expansion can occur at both of Mueller's Decatur <br /> sites. It is recommended that the resolution and agreement be approved. <br />
