From the transcript
And I guess my ask for you is to help me bring this grant home. Uh, these grants are highly competitive and, uh, the reviewers look at them and, uh, they look for local, uh, commitment to, uh, matching funds. So if they don't see the resolution in my grant application that has a matching funds resolution in there, they may deem it noncompliant or they may dismiss it. So having this support from the council really gives me a fighting chance for these grants, and I appreciate your support of that. Thank you.
