Summary
The city received notice that its proposal was selected for funding by the Great Lakes Commission’s PAMF active adaptive management program to manage non-native Phragmites australis; councilmember thanked service department staff for assistance preparing the grant.
A council member announced on May 27 that Pepper Pike’s proposal to manage non-native Phragmites australis has been selected for funding by the Great Lakes Commission through its PAMF active adaptive management program.
The speaker said the award will support removal of Phragmites in the city and participation in a study to determine the most effective and cost-efficient management methods for the region. The council member thanked the service department and Don Advent for assistance preparing the application and said the project will both remove invasive stands and contribute to broader best-practice guidance for other communities.
The announcement was presented as an informational item; no formal council action was required at the meeting. Staff will follow up with grant paperwork and program coordination as requested by the Great Lakes Commission.
