SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Department of Commerce offers grants of up to $50,000 through its Idaho GEM Grant program which provides assistance to rural communities for the planning and implementation
of economic development projects that are directly tied to job creation. The program is open to any rural community with a population of 10,000 persons or less. A local match of at
least 20% ($10,000) is required and would be provided from the City of McCall’s FY22 adopted budget already allocated to support the city’s local housing program.
The property owners at 111 W Lake Street have agreed to donate to the city an existing Accessory Structure on the property which is often referred to as “The Toaster” so long as the
structure is relocated in the early part of the 2022 building season. The city-owned parcel on Davis Ave. has been identified as a suitable location for the structure’s relocation.
Requested funding from the Idaho GEM Grant program would help support the costs of relocation of the structure and preparation of the site at its new location. Upon completion, the
dwelling unit will be deed and/or lease restricted in accordance with the city’s local housing program to provide local workforce housing.
The Idaho GEM Grant program requires that a Resolution be adopted that confirms the City’s approval of the grant application and designates a grant administrator. A draft of the resolution
is attached which designates the city’s Economic Development Planner as grant administrator, should it be awarded.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution 22-06 approving submittal of an Idaho GEM Grant application to support local housing and designating the Economic Development Planner as the grant administrator and
authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
