Council accepts Rocky Mountain Power grants for tank restoration and vegetation projects
Summary
Green River accepted a $5,000 Rocky Mountain Power Foundation Community Enhancement Grant for a military tank restoration and an environmental grant to support natural vegetation projects in partnership with local schools; both grants were approved by unanimous voice vote.
The Green River City Council unanimously accepted two Rocky Mountain Power Foundation grants: a $5,000 Community Enhancement Grant to help restore a historic military tank and a separate environmental grant to support natural-vegetation projects with local schools.
Nut graf: The tank grant supplements restoration and painting obligations for a public artifact; the environmental grant aims to reduce water use and include an educational partnership with the school district.
City staff member Reed (filling in for Katie) told the council the tank restoration grant will help partially fund painting and upkeep required under the city's agreement for the artifact. "It's gonna be able to update help fund partially the painting of this tank," he said. Councilwoman Bushman moved to accept the $5,000 grant and Councilman Mazur seconded; the motion carried.
A second grant presented by a Rocky Mountain Power representative was described as part of an effort to create natural vegetation areas to reduce the city's water usage. Staff said the project will partner with the school district to incorporate educational components into the work. The council approved acceptance of the environmental grant on a voice vote.
Ending: Staff and council described the grants as partnerships with private and educational organizations; line-item grant documents and any matching requirements were not specified during the meeting.
