Resolution Process Before a grant may be executed, the agency listed in the application must provide the OTS with a resolution from the appropriate city council or county board authorizing its participation in the program. Legal signatures for a city are the Mayor and City Clerk (M.S. 412.201): for a county are the Board Chair and Clerk of County Board (M.S. 375.13); or individual(s) named in resolution approved by appropriate City Council or County Board. The sample resolution will ensure acceptability by OTS and quicker processing of awarded grants. Including a grant dollar amount in the resolution will cause problems if the amount awarded is different than the amount requested. If your council or board requires a specific amount, have the words "or a lesser amount as awarded by the Department of Public Safety" added after the amount is specified. Including the proper name of an authorized official, rather than just a title, will cause problems if the person in that position or office changes. If your council or board requires a specific name as well as title, have the words "and (his or her) successor (on staff or in office)" added after the name is specified. Example RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT Be it resolved that (Name of Your Agency) enter into a grant agreement with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, for the DWI Officer grant during the period from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020.

(Signature block example — other formats for certifying a resolution has been adopted are permitted. In addition, you could instead provide a copy of official minutes of council meeting at which the resolution was approved.)
