As such, I am requesting the Council approve expenditures for the Mayor, or his designee, to travel to Washington D.C., to meet with respective parties as we complete our efforts related to the City's TIGER Grant application which supports our efforts for the Core Area Redevelopment. Previously, Council members traveled to Washington D.C., in support of the City's TIGER grant application. During this round of meetings, it was suggested to return to meet with our elected officials in targeted meetings with respective agencies after the TIGER grant application has been submitted. As such, we are looking to return with a smaller group of City and FCEDA representatives during the first week of August. Efforts are currently being made to schedule meetings with elected officials and representatives from the agencies that are most closely linked to our grant application and redevelopment efforts. FISCAL IMPACT: It is estimated that costs for D.C. travel would be approximately $2,000. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council move to authorize travel to Washington, D.C., for the Mayor, or his designee.
