City reports transit center design progress and $1 million state water grant paperwork completed

City staff told the Lindsay City Council that design work for a proposed transit center is underway and that the city has received paperwork confirming a $1 million grant from the State Water Resources Control Board. The city manager said the transit center design is in progress with contractor meetings completed and that multiple grant sources, including state funding and rail-related funds, were being combined to support the project. Staff noted the city had submitted paperwork to the State Water Resources Control Board and that a formal grant award paperwork ("a million dollar") had been signed and submitted since the prior council meeting. Staff told the council they will return with required affidavits and final documentation and that the grant program has a multi-year timeline (staff referenced a three-year period to complete grant requirements). The city manager said the combined funding package will be used to advance design and right-of-way and that staff will provide council with final grant-related documents for compliance and next steps.
