Council approves urban water plan, SRF reimbursement option and $2,000 reward for hit‑and‑run; consent and proclamation also adopted
Summary
At its March 1 meeting the Greenfield City Council adopted the 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, approved a reimbursement resolution for potential state loans and authorized a $2,000 reward in a Feb. 14 hit‑and‑run case.
The Greenfield City Council on March 1 took several formal actions, adopting resolutions and approving consent items. Key outcomes:
Adopted — 2020 Urban Water Management Plan (Resolution) The council adopted a resolution approving the City’s 2020 Urban Water Management Plan, bringing a past‑due plan into compliance with state requirements and helping the city with future grant or loan applications for water and wastewater projects. Staff said adoption will help the city pursue funding for its planned wastewater treatment plant. The motion was seconded and approved on a voice vote with the council indicating support; no detailed roll‑call tally was read into the record.
Approved — Reimbursement resolution for potential Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) loans Council approved a standard reimbursement resolution required by the state when a public agency wants the option of advancing project costs and later reimbursing itself with loan or bond proceeds. Staff emphasized that approving the resolution does not commit the city to borrow; it only preserves an option if grant funding is insufficient. The motion passed on a voice vote.
Approved — Reward appropriation for hit‑and‑run on Feb. 14, 2025 The council approved a resolution authorizing up to $2,000 as a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the driver involved in a Feb. 14 hit‑and‑run that seriously injured a 17‑year‑old Greenfield High School student. The council member who brought the item said he found the injured youth and wanted to help incentivize tips: “If this helps somebody come forward to identify…someone that had damage to their vehicle, that could be a potential person that did this,” he said. The council moved, seconded and approved the $2,000 award on a voice vote.
Consent calendar and proclamation The council approved the consent calendar, including a proclamation declaring March 2025 as American Red Cross Month. The proclamation recognized the Central Coast chapter’s volunteer work, smoke‑alarm installations and disaster response in Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito counties.
Votes and formal motions were taken by motion/second and approved by voice vote; the minutes do not include a recorded roll‑call breakdown for each item but reflect unanimous passage in open session.
