Wildwood officials weigh options after state veto; $300,000 budgeted for watershed work
Summary
After the governor line-item vetoed requested mitigation funding, city officials said $300,000 remains budgeted for fiscal 2025 and asked council to prioritize projects or identify alternative funding sources; council directed staff to return next month with a report on what can be done with the funds.
City staff told the council the governor vetoed the city's requested line-item funding for watershed erosion mitigation, leaving the city with $300,000 budgeted for fiscal year 2025 and a choice about which projects to pursue.
Why it matters: Wildwood has several erosion and stormwater projects in development (Evergreen Forest Creek restoration, the Highlands project, Cox Creek basins, and a Stormwater Management Master Plan). The veto reduced expected outside funding and forced councilmembers to consider prioritizing projects and identifying alternative funding sources.
